As for digital, I am with the utopians – fully aware that some see that as a term of abuse. To quote one blogger, the social web is not really about the end of what came before, but the starting point for what comes next: richer and more complex societies. I am sometimes giddy with the possibilities new technologies offer us for being better journalists: for reaching even larger audiences; for having more influence; for being embedded in the most astonishing network of information the world has ever seen or could ever have imagined.
- Alan Rusbridger, The splintering of the fourth estate
The editor of the Guardian stuck an allusion of mine into the Andrew Olle lecture 2010 in Sydney, Australia on 19 November. Too bad I am just ‘one blogger’, but I am heartened to think that I am influencing folks like Rusbridger.
