Exploring legal and ethical issues of new mediaOctober 30th, 2007 / Posted by Nathan T. Wright
On Friday, October 19th, I took part in a panel discussion about legal and ethical issues in new media along with professional blogging coach Mike Sansone and digital experts from the Des Moines Register and Meredith Corp. The event was part of the continuing ed program for Drake University‘s School of Journalism and Mass Communication. We talked a lot about blogs, wikis and how old media is adapting itself to remain relevant.

The Register has digital experts?

I wonder if the “old media” will move fast enough to remain relevant. My guess is some will… some won’t.

Even the title was of this event was “Legal and Ethical Issues of New Media,” what really struck me during the discussion was the huge difference in attitude between the new media guys (yourself and Mike Sansone) and the old media guys (the Register and Meredith). As I mentioned afterwards, it just doesn’t seem like they “get it.”
I’m with Chris in wondering if they will remain relevant. Technologies are breaking down institutional boundaries and authority systems. Just look at the recording industry; they are on the verge of implosion (suicide, actually). Publishers will probably feel the squeeze next. Google and Craigslist have already seriously eroded their advertising base. They’re going to have to make some fundamental changes in how they do business to survive.
