Doc Searls, un des auteurs du Cluetrain ("Markets are conversations" et tout le reste), dit:

(...) newspapers are a rusty industry. They have tail fins. They print lists of readers every day on the obituary page. Worse, as a class they are resolutely clueless about how to adapt to a world that is increasingly networked and self-informing. (...)

Question: Si le monde est de plus en plus relié et si les gens "s'auto-informent" de plus en plus, qu'est-ce que ça signifie pour la fonction "information" des autres médias traditionnels?

P.-S. Ma prochaine conférence va inclure le terme auto-information.
