My reaction was caused by the inexistence of multimedia features, all i saw was words, and i hope you manage to cover that in a near future. That is what i meant with a new model of journalism, it is more than words. The community factor is really important and i’m glad you’re tackling that, but i don’t get excited about what i see in your website. Yet.

And i’m not expecting the second coming of Christ, because i believe that it is not an outside element that will save good journalism, but journalists themselves if they try to go beyond the worn out models and practices. I don’t misunderstand the problems journalists are facing today, but i think you misunderstood two things: this is a personal opinion, and i can be wrong and don’t have problems admitting it if it comes to it; you didn’t even bother to understand who i am, what is my relevance, and what i have done so far in journalism, for journalism, because i’m not the kind of guy who sits in front of the computer and trashes other people’s work for fun. You are doing something useful, i just think it could be better. And i’m sure that in time it will, you sound passionate and that is essential.

Good luck.

Well, if you are promoting writers, it’s ok, if you are promoting a “new model of journalism” then it’s not enough.

and

NewsTilt falls short of what a journalist centered project should be in 2010.

To be clear: we are 100% journalist centered. They are our customers, our clients, our raison-d’etre. The “new model of journalism” is that – centered on journalists, and their interactions with their communities. If you expected the next coming of Christ, I think you misunderstand the real problems that journalists face today.
