Jeff Jarvis' focus is Citizen's Media. And he drops some serious Citizen Media knowledge and vision in two recent blog posts. If I were running a broadcast software development team or a broadcast network, I'd print these up and laminate them. He's tapped into the good stuff folks.

Here's a small excerpt from A new newsroom:

7. Any media anytime: Reporters and photographers should carry the tools of multimedia -- a voice recorder, a video/still camera, a keyboard -- and use them all. They need to be trained. They need to be encouraged. Then they should tell the story however it is best told. If I can record a podcast, anyone can.

8. Burn the business cards: No one in a newsroom should think of himself or herself as "print" or "online." That has turned news into an us-vs-them battle in the newsroom when it should be joint battle to survive and grow. This is not to say that there aren't still specialties: a graphic artist knows graphics, an online producer knows RSS. But we're all in this together.

And another excerpt, this one from Editor as news gatherer:

3. Identify, train, and support reporting talent: What you have done in the newsroom, you will need to do outside. You will find promising and motivated citizen reporters and put the best into a company training program -- or take the best from journalism schools that now serve the industry and the public with citizen training. On an ongoing basis, you will work with this distibuted reporting base to improve their work. You won't be able to edit every line of every report to which you link, but you will try to educate them -- and earn their respect as they earn yours.
