War's New Weapons -DVD $44.95 War's New Weapons. For thousands of years, wars were fought the same way: by out numbering, out fighting, or out foxing the enemy. The industrial revolution forever transformed the waging of war with faster firing guns, telegraphs for instant communication, trains to rush men to the battlefield, and cameras to record their suffering. Journey back in time and observe how 19th century advances in weaponry, communication, and transportation escalated the pace—and the death toll—of the Crimean War. Consider the impact of correspondents whose unflinching portrayals showed civilians the realities of war—and inspired Florence Nightingale to improve medical care on the battlefield. |

We the Media: Grassroots Journalism by the People, for the People $18.95 Hardback Edition Grassroots journalists are dismantling Big Media's monopoly on the news, transforming it from a lecture to a conversation. Not content to accept the news as reported, these readers turned reporters are publishing in real time to a worldwide audience via the Internet. The impact of their work is just beginning to be felt by professional journalists and the newsmakers they cover. In We the Media: Grassroots Journalism by the People, for the People, nationally known business and technology columnist Dan Gillmor tells the story of this emerging phenomenon, and sheds light on this deep shift in how we make and consume the news. We the Media is essential reading for all participants in the news cycle: Consumers learn how they can become producers of the news. Gillmor lays out the tools of the grassroots journalist's trade, including personal Web journals (called weblogs or blogs), Internet chat groups, email, and cell phones. He also illustrates how, in this age of media consolidation and diminished reporting, to roll your own news, drawing from the array of sources available online and even over the phone. Newsmakers politicians, business executives, celebrities get a wake up call. The control that newsmakers enjoyed in the top down world of Big Media is seriously undermined in the Internet Age. Gillmor shows newsmakers how to successfully play by the new rules and shift from control to engagement. Journalists discover that the new grassroots journalism presents opportunity as well as challenge to their profession. One of the first mainstream journalists to have a blog, Gillmor says, "My readers know more than I do, and that's a good thing." In We the Media, he makes the case to his colleagues that, in the face of a plethora of Internet fueled news vehicles, they must change or become irrelevant. At its core, We the Media is a book about people. People like Glenn Reynolds, a law professor whose blog postings on the intersection of technology and liberty garnered him enough readers and influence that he became a source for professional journalists. Or Ben Chandler, whose upset Congressional victory was fueled by contributions that came in response to ads on a handful of political blogs. Or Iraqi blogger Zayed, whose Healing Irag blog (healingiraq.blogspot.com) scooped Big Media. Or acridrabbit, who inspired an online community to become investigative reporters and discover that the dying Kaycee Nichols sad tale was a hoax. Give the people tools to make the news, We the Media asserts, and they will. By Dan Gillmor Hardback Edition July 2004 ISBN: 0 596 00733 7 320 pages |
