Over the past 2 weeks,
I’ve stopped watching the
news on TV & stopped
reading newspapers
Here’s what I’ve learned...
Opinions are better than objectivity
News isn’t as bad as I thought
75% Good 15% Neutral 10% Bad
People are coordinated
News benefits from many sources
20 PostsPer Day
5 PostsPer Day
5 PostsPer Week
> 5 PostsPer Month
I think these are 4 major
reasons for the rise of the
professional network.
By “Professional Network”
I literally mean a network
of people that equate to
an industry professional.
Alone, no one would
consider me a professional
journalist.
Professional
Me
But together with a group of individuals, an
observer could get as good, or better information
than that of a professional.
Professional
My Network=
Why?
For the reasons I outlined
previously.
News isn’t as bad as I thought

People that feel free to voice their opinions often provide the emotion required to completely understand a story. Large networks usually provide a number of passionate people who feel differently about issues. Listening to them is a great way to understand more about a story than a objective news report.

Some news agencies sensationalize bad news to evoke a stronger emotional reaction (among other reasons). Peer-News often (at least in my experience) focuses on positive news. (upcoming events, cool thoughts, new gadgets, useful tools, etc)

With the introduction of social networking tools like Twitter, Facebook, Blogs, Podcasts, Youtube, and the like; uncoordinated individuals have the ability to coordinate on issues.

They key to the rise of the professional network is that a network can have ‘sleeper participants’ who might rarely participate, but live outside the spectrum of normal news, and have connections that might provide unique insight when they do participate.
So, will I return to TV & Newspapers?
I will, but my opinion of them has changed
TV Paper
I will, but my opinion of them has changed
TV Paper
Instead of using those sources as a default,
I’ll refer to them as needed. I no longer
need a default system to get information.
TV Paper
I can keep informed on what’s going on
through my Professional Network
