About MediaShift
MediaShift is a weblog that will track how digital media technologies and techniques such as weblogs, RSS, podcasting, citizen journalism, wikis, news aggregators and video repositories are changing our world. It will tell stories of how the shifting media landscape is changing the way we get our news and information, while also providing a place for public participation and feedback.
MediaShift elements include:
The Blog: The main meat of the matter, where we will dig deeper into issues, interview important minds, and showcase intelligent sources and you, the readers. Plus, you have the chance to add your comments to each post.
Top 5: A running tally of the people, trends and technologies that are on our radar.
Your Take: Grab the podium and run with it. Well, don't run away with it, but please give your 2 cents on an important media-shifting question of the week.
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation provided a grant to MediaShift to produce Idea Lab and to upgrade MediaShift with audio, video and citizen journalism projects. Since 1950 the foundation has granted more than $300 million to advance journalism quality and freedom of expression. Knight Foundation supports ideas and projects that create transformational change.
