Os bloggers, muitos deles jornalistas, que há algum tempo haviam reunido esforços em torno deste Pajamas Media lançam hoje o Open Source Media, um espaço onde se pretende combinar o espírito do Open Source com o jornalismo.
Na apresentação do projecto pode ler-se:
“Where journalists once gave us “experts say,” blogs give us the experts themselves. And where faceless, “objective” editorial boards once handed down opinions and endorsements, bloggers sound off, the numbers on their public sitemeters lending them unassailable credibility as voices for the rest of us“.
E ainda:
“OSM’s mission is to expand the influence of weblogs by finding and promoting the best of them, providing bloggers with a forum to meet and share resources, and the chance to join a for-profit network that will give them additional leverage to pursue knowledge wherever they may find it. From academics, professionals and decorated experts, to ordinary citizens sitting around the house opining in their pajamas, our community of bloggers are among the most widely read and influential citizen journalists out there, and our roster of will be expanding daily. We also plan to provide a bridge between old media and new, bringing bloggers and mainstream journalists – more and more of whom have started to blog – together in a debate-friendly forum“.
