Do you see public journalism principles being articulated in participatory journalism in the current environment, i.e. are there any good examples?
Yes, I think founders of community news sites have been more willing to listen, akin to public listening. They have embraced games and interactive exercises as ways to elicit public input. They are more comfortable reporting not just what people say, but allowing them to clarify what they mean. I think they don’t use conflict to define news, which was always a caveat in the civic journalism world. And I think my previous answer addressed some of this.
