I've been on a streak of positive energy these past few weeks, so to keep the streak going, I thought I'd point this out.
Mark Glaser (who's also on a positive streak), has a blog entry today headlined "10 Reasons There’s a Bright Future for Journalism."
In it, Glaser wrote he "wouldn’t be writing this blog if I didn’t believe we will end up in a better place. But I’m also a hardened realist and natural skeptic, and I know there are painful months and years ahead for the (dwindling number of) people working in traditional media. Not everything new and shiny will be good for us, and there are plenty of ethical and technological pitfalls ahead.
"But rather than dwell on the negative, rail against change, or damn the upstarts at Google and Craigslist, I’d like to take a walk on the sunny side of life in new media, consider the positive aspects of all that is happening, and how we could end up in a renaissance era for journalism."
For the list of reasons for the positive energy, head over to MediaShift.
And have a good weekend.
