The Changing Media Summit has been examining the future of journalism in the wake of new technology that's increasingly redefining mass communication. Newspapers, radio, television, mobile phones, internet: all are in the midst of tech-triggered changes.
Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger spoke of the possibility of newspapers allowing lot more of user-generated content. He said: "We are grappling with this balance of what goes on to the website and what goes in the paper. A great part of that web [content] will be generated by users in time."
But he was quick to clarify that this will only be a complimentary role. "The role of journalists in this multi-media age has not changed and that user-generated content will only be a compliment to their work." (Source: Press Gazette)
