A fundamental way newspaper sites need to change | Holovaty.com

But more fundamental shifts need to happen for newspaper companies
to remain essential sources of information for their communities.

One of those important shifts is: Newspapers need to stop the story-centric worldview.

Conditioned by decades of an established style of journalism, newspaper journalists tend to see their primary role thusly:

1. Collect information
2. Write a newspaper story

The problem here is that, for many types of news and information, newspaper stories don't cut it anymore.

So much of what local journalists collect day-to-day is structured information:
the type of information that can be sliced-and-diced, in an automated
fashion, by computers. Yet the information gets distilled into a big
blob of text -- a newspaper story -- that has no chance of being
repurposed.
