Mitch Joel's talk with our class today served as an important lesson, but also brought all the issues we talked about over the semester into context.
Joel discussed citizen journalism and described the discipline as a frontier waiting to settle and he highlighted the fact that citizen media efforts are only a few years old and they are not really developed. Joel also emphasized the fact that entrepreneurial journalists are competing with mainstream journalist sites, a subject brought up in class and a concern for me.
He however offered solutions, motivation, and encouragement to young journalists like myself. Mitch Joel underlined three important conversations, the internal conversation, the one-to-one conversation, and the one to may conversation; all aimed at illustrating the fact that each individual is their own personal brand.
Joel was passionate, enthusiastic, and expressive (although sometimes he bordered on arrogant) and he advised the class to find the real you, focus on what you love, and empower people through communication.
The media landscape is changing and a new medium is threatening the traditional model of journalsim and the role of reporters. Joel empowered the class to embraces the changes and to use your global voice and unique abilities to contribute to a world full of endless possibilities.
