Post Journalism or Post Truth

We – all stakeholders, that is, in the end, everybody – need to radicalise


journalistic norms and functions, and move towards imagining not only post-
industrial, but post-journalism. This would refer to the kind of journalism that
applies itself to the kind of society we live in, a globalised network society, in
which information is both its lifeline and its means of control, in which the
constant communication instead of leading to more informed decisions ends
up in meaningless circulation in an environment described as communicative
capitalism.
What does this society need? More information or more digested information?
More layers of mediation through visuals and infographics? More
personalisation and affective news? Or something else? And if so, what?
Determining this will at once redefine and reorder the field, leading to a
reshuffling of the various positions and establishing the value and relative
worth of various practices, data journalism, news aggregation, citizen
witnessing, opinion blogs, affective news and so on.
