The future of journalism is bright for Pakistan. Have a look as to how emerging trends are being welcomed by media in Pakistan. There are challenges too!

We are entering a new age of

information access and dissemination.

Now it easy to publish in the web  ( an equivalent

of a printing press on their desks),but it is also important to

  understand the implications they have for culture,

journalism and society. I hope this forum will go in this way

Now,

Is there a light in the tunnel? Sure there is.
In Sweden we have NO local journalists. If local is synonymous to community where the journalists live and work. Without being familiar with networks, and structures of local power, you simply can't do the job. I had just moved to the community when I 2001 started my local tv-station. It took me five good years to learn by doing.

So, the light I see comes from the enormous potential in ELM - Extremely Local Media… or whatever you call it. There are thousands and thousands of jobs all over Europe. Waiting for the trigger.

Or - what do you think, friends

My career in short:
Camera assistent feature film
Cinematographer
Headhunted by Swedish television 1958
Started my prod.company 1961
Won some prizes: My company produced an Emmy award winner back in 1994 - "The Miracle of Man" with and about the Swedish photographer Lennart Nilsson.
Most important work has been and is developing of "very local media". To reach even what we tend to regard as "groups hard to reach" - like teenagers between 14 and 18.

The techniqueI skill I pick up as I go... Now working in Mac/FinalCutPro/PhotoShop for film- and tvproduction. iWeb for webbprod. and Scribe for layout/newsletters and such.

That is a cool bit of kit, if a little retro now! Any other journalists who have been in the career for a while got any other interesting pics?

How have you ensured you kept up with technological changes Bo? Have your learnt new equipment/tools formally, or just picked them up?

Our community worked some years ago with a PR-agency in Stockholm in order to produce basic ideas how to communicate - and why.
The result - now put in place - is a marketing paper. How to communicate to citizens, "the market" and fellow politicians the excellence of Sollentuna...
In the new "communication platform" you find the word democracy 3 times, brand 35, transparancy 1...
Yes we have a lot to do. And thats' fine. Just got me a Sony NEX-5... I regard myself as a craftsman telling stories. The new tools are nice! So was the Rolleiflex (picture) I owned back in 1956

It definitely is a global phenomenon Francesca. Thanks Bo also for your comment - really interesting to hear your experience.

I think journalists have to be agents of change themselves to survive.
