March Carnival – How Do We Measure Impact?

The March Carnival of journalism is all about impact. How do we measure the impact of journalism?

It was a questioned posed by Greg Linch earlier this year in a fantastic post (you really should give it a gander).

And now our fearless karaoke host asks all of you: “What’s the best way — or ways — to measure journalism and how?” Again – for some ideas on thinking check Linch’s post. 

Not an easy question to ask or answer. But that is your task.

Deadline: Friday March 30th.

When you’ve got your post submit it as a comment here and/or email the group.


‘What will upend journalism next?’ Carnival-goers answer

This month’s Carnival was hosted by Steve Outing at Test Kitchen. He writes

For February, I have been humbled to be the host (a.k.a., ringmaster) of the Carnival of Journalism, a monthly all-invited blogfest of journalism thinkers. This virtual gathering convenes once a month, thanks to the continued commitment of Digidave (a.k.a., David Cohn) to keep it going. Hurray, David!

As temporary host, I asked anyone willing to answer:

What emerging technology or digital trend do you think will have a significant impact on journalism in the year or two ahead? And how do you see it playing out in terms of application by journalists, and impact?

The answers are in! … And, in the spirit of the question, I’m using Storify to present a curated presentation of the blog posts of those who answered the call. (Storify, after all, represents a couple key digital trends that show signs of continuing to accelerate: curation and crowd-sourcing.) … If I missed including yours, let me know and I’ll add it.

And to do the round up he used Storify!
