Bruno Giussani's View of tomorrow's journalist

Bruno Giussani has a fine essay that expands on some thoughts by Global Voices pioneer Ethan Zuckerman, one of my favorite thinkers who said "Don't speak. Point," meaning that the days of journalists and editors speaking on behalf of people or speaking to people are over.

Now, the objective is to point to people and get out of the way.

It's a great piece, offering some fresh insights and vision on an overworked subject. Go read it.

[NOTE: This piece has been reedited in response to Bruno's comment below. I had attributed his words and thoughts to Zuckerman.  Thanks for setting it straight, Bruno.]

Thank you for picking this up Shel, but just for clarity the post is not a "report on a recent talk" by Ethan: I only used a quote by him to introduce the essay. BrunoG
