			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Frédéric Filloux: &quot;In recent months, we’ve seen a flurry of innovative tools for reading and sharing contents. Or, even better, for basing one’s readings on other people’s shared contents. In Web 2.5 parlance, this is called Social Reading. ... All of theses apps start with the same raw material. They collect and rearrange RSS feeds, they crawl Twitter or Facebook streams.  Unfortunately, from a news publisher vantage point, all these aggregating apps kill value by removing ads from the articles they assemble for our reading pleasure.&quot;]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Martin Belam: &quot;on the web you can find newspapers being accused of failing to invent all manner of digital services, including Google, Facebook, Quora, Craigslist and The Huffington Post. Personally, I’m unconvinced that this isn’t akin to asking why the Great Western Railway didn’t invent the automobile. ... What news organisations did do with tools like photography though, was incorporate it into their product at a time when it became economical to do so - the same with colour printing.&quot;]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Matt Waite: &quot;[Online journalism] experimentation takes place almost entirely outside the main content management system. Story here, news app there. A blog? A separate software stack. Photo galleries? Made elsewhere, embedded into a CMS page (maybe). Graphics? Same. Got something more, like a whole high school sports stats and scores system? Separate site completely, but stories stay in the CMS. You don’t get them. ... Instead of a single monolithic system, where a baseball game story is the same as a triple murder story, general interest news websites should be a confederation of custom content management systems that handle stories of a specific type.&quot;]]></content:encoded>

Gatekeeping is now a collective pursuit; we’ve become our own and each other’s editors. ... The attitude—as well as the mechanics—for attracting readers has to change. It’s no longer &#39;take my judgment on the day’s news or good luck finding another local daily.&#39; And even though readers are no longer captive to what an editor decides, people still want some help when it comes to deciding how and where to look for the news they value.&#34;]]></description>
