Journalism, PGP and Freezers
Fresh out of the radio oven, thePods and Blogs podcast has been posted and is waiting for you to listen.
If we mentioned a place that you would like to visit online, then you can find all the links right here:
Journalism is changing, not a new idea but one that many bright thinkers are considering. In Birmingham,JeeCamp09 brought a lot of those thinkers together to try and look at the situation and discussion solutions for creative and talented people who may be facing job cuts in the business. Paul Bradshaw is the organiser and he explained his vision of the near future.
More traditionally people think this will mainly affect photographers and writers, but there's a lot more to your local paper so I caught up with a couple of cartoonists. Matthew Buck and Alex Hughes also of theBloghorn were also kind enough to lend me a couple of their great pictures to show off on our page this week.
Chris Vallance returns this week to Pods and Blogs. He has spent some time with another web legend, Phil Zimmermann.
Had your head in a freezer lately? No, me either - but a lot of people have and can be found online showing the world. The man behind this rather odd movement is David Horvitz. Though this alone is not really his aim, he does have a lot of interesting things to do on his blog.
Thanks to FoxyCoxy on Flickr for his freezer pic.

In my opinion, journalism may have changed from what it was decades ago. In this age of computers and the modern internet, a big leap was made in the field of journalism in terms of the speed of bringing the news out to the public. However, the basics are still the essential elements that make up journalism as we know it. Job cuts may come or they might not, but writers and photographers are among those essential elements.

With the increasing number of journalists not being able to make it because of the changing economy I wonder how many of them will turn to new media to earn more of their income? it seems everyone is feeling the effects of the economy even the melanotan & afamelanotide worlds. Now Rupert Murdoch of Newscorp fame is talking about monetizing online news by making people pay for it. It makes one wonder if those who frequent news websites are going to start turning more and more to news outlets that rely more heavily on citizen journalism? It's going to be interesting to see how Murdoch's plan pans out.
