17 Declarations Direct from Deutschland For My Journalism Peeps
Internet Manifesto
How journalism works today. Seventeen declarations.
Some of my favorites:
- The Internet
changesimproves journalism. - Today's freedom of the press means freedom of opinion.
- Tradition is not a business model.

It's time to have the heart-to-heart talk with the sports section. It's time to tell the front page to take a back seat. It's time to say "It's not me, it's you."
