Looking at this site and thinking about the future of journalism I don't see anything. I just see a guy who points out news stories. It's good, it's great even, but he doesn't do much of anything. I don't say this from just looking at one post. I randomly selected several months of the past year and scanned through every entry. None of them interested me. None of them seemed to shout "Future of Journalism." If it is the future, it is rather poor. Also, it is already happening, so it cannot be the future by default, being that it is happening in the present. Maybe I did not find the post that sheds the light on the future of journalism in my random five-month search through his site. I just found a guy who studies news media. I also read his profile so I could understand him better.
Was the point of this assignment to see the future, or read about the future, because in either case I did not find what I was looking for.
The only future use mentioned was podcasts, which are a valuable tool for the future of news delivery at the moment, and tags, which help readers get what they want. This is as far as I can see the future of journalism being brought up.
