New Media vs Mainstream Media: Greg Jarboe explains how they are teaching each other

Bloggers are breaking news and dozens of traditional mainstream media newspapers are closing down. This was one of the topics from the “News Search SEO” panel, at the Search Engine Strategies New York 2009 event.

The fact that now more and more people are able to shoot videos or pictures from cell phones changed the concept of news. Regular people are now on the scene, registering and publishing facts. When news becomes at the same time very personal but not necessarily unprofessional, everybody has to be their own PR.

The video below was taken at the latest edition of the SES-NY. Greg Jarboe from SEO-PR speaking exclusively with Bloggers School about how the New Media and the Mainstream Nedia need each other.

Greg Jarboe is a successful online marketing guru, and his company combines and makes cleaver uses of Press Releases and Search Engine Optimization. He is also the news search, blog search and PR correspondent for the Search Engine Watch Blog.

We found great info at this session about the ways the New and Traditional Media are coming together. It is so exciting to be part of something that so fresh and current.

When does a Blogger becomes a Citizen Journalist

Citizen Journalism is the journalism made for members of the public engaged in telling, sharing and interacting with stories that have any interest or value for a community.

Citizen Journalism can also be considered as the journalism made for those who don’t have a formal education as a journalist.

What makes a journalist is not only the eyes and abilities to realize when information has common interest and must become news.

What makes a journalist is also the energy and the discipline to going out there, collect, compare and produce content in the form of video, text, image or audio.
