Scott Karp on Link Journalism and Aggregation

by Andy Brudtkuhl on December 9, 2008

Scott Karp founded Publish2 and in this interview he discusses the situation news organizations are in and how news aggregation and link journalism fits in the mix…

How do you change the wheels on the car when the car is in motion?

Key notes:

  1. Original content on the web is at the end of the food chain
  2. Expand what the news organization brand does and what the individual journalist does around the original content
  3. Visual reporting is core at what the news organization does
  4. If you aren’t telling somewhere where to go, then someone else will (Did you read that Des Moines Register?)

Note: The New York Times has recently adopted a link journalism model on its front page
