En una excelente entrevista, Web format has ‘contaminated’ online journalism, Mike McCue de Flipboard y ahora parte del board de Twitter explica algo bastante interesante para entender los cambios en el periodismo online:
“The problem with journalism on the Web today is that it’s being contaminated by the Web form factor. What I mean is, journalists are being pushed to do things like slide shows. Articles themselves are condensed to narrow columns of text across 5, 6, 7 pages, and ads that are really distracting for the reader” … “Journalism is being pushed into a space where I don’t think it should ever go, where it’s trying to support the monetization model of the Web by driving page views. So what you have is a drop-off of long-form journalism, because long-form pieces are harder to monetize.”
