Interesting story in the New York Times today about micro-journalism, specifically John Dickerson, chief political correspondent for the online magazine Slate, using Twitter as a journalistic publishing tool.
..news has always come in different sizes. Despite the new gadgetry, …journalists are actually rediscovering telegraphese — the clipped (ideally witty) style that flourished because of word limits imposed by an earlier technology, the telegraph. Today, it is the limits imposed by text-messaging.
Made me think of a comment I got in response to a recent post: A little shove towards the future.
I love it when the outcome of something really exciting is a reflection of the past…
