Over the past 2 weeks,

I’ve stopped watching the

news on TV & stopped

reading newspapers

Here’s what I’ve learned...

Opinions are better than objectivity

News isn’t as bad as I thought

75% Good 15% Neutral 10% Bad

People are coordinated

News benefits from many sources

20 PostsPer Day

5 PostsPer Day

5 PostsPer Week

> 5 PostsPer Month

I think these are 4 major

reasons for the rise of the

professional network.

By “Professional Network”

I literally mean a network

of people that equate to

an industry professional.

Alone, no one would

consider me a professional

journalist.

Professional

Me

But together with a group of individuals, an

observer could get as good, or better information

than that of a professional.

Why?

For the reasons I outlined

previously.

People that feel free to voice their opinions often provide the emotion required to completely understand a story. Large networks usually provide a number of passionate people who feel differently about issues. Listening to them is a great way to understand more about a story than a objective news report.

Some news agencies sensationalize bad news to evoke a stronger emotional reaction (among other reasons). Peer-News often (at least in my experience) focuses on positive news. (upcoming events, cool thoughts, new gadgets, useful tools, etc)

With the introduction of social networking tools like Twitter, Facebook, Blogs, Podcasts, Youtube, and the like; uncoordinated individuals have the ability to coordinate on issues.

They key to the rise of the professional network is that a network can have ‘sleeper participants’ who might rarely participate, but live outside the spectrum of normal news, and have connections that might provide unique insight when they do participate.

So, will I return to TV & Newspapers?

I will, but my opinion of them has changed

TV Paper

I will, but my opinion of them has changed

TV Paper

Instead of using those sources as a default,

I’ll refer to them as needed. I no longer

need a default system to get information.

I can keep informed on what’s going on
