El profesor de periodismo de la Universidad de Nueva York Paul Jay Rosen ha escrito un interesante artículo titulado más o menos como este post: «The People Formerly Known as the Audiencie» y lo ha publicado en su blog, Press Think (recomendable).

Vale la pena leerlo entero, pero para los que no tengáis tiempo o los que estéis soñando con un aire acondicionado con las neuronas sudando, os dejo algunos de los extractos más sugestivos, en los que cita a otros ‘importantes’:

«We feel there is nothing wrong with old style, one-way, top-down media consumption. Big Media pleasures will not be denied us. You provide them, we’ll consume them and you can have yourselves a nice little business.»

«But we’re not on your clock any more. Tom Curley, CEO of the Associated Press, has explained this to his people. ‘The users are deciding what the point of their engagement will be — what application, what device, what time, what place.‘»

«Jeff Jarvis, a former media executive, has written a law about us. ‘Give the people control of media, they will use it. The corollary: Don»t give the people control of media, and you will lose. Whenever citizens can exercise control, they will.’»
