Returning from Terrassa where we celebrated the BASE 2011 in ESCAC, I read the book of Iñaki Gabilondo "The end of an era" (Barrel & Barral, Barcelona 2011), and I found many similarities between what had been said in the lectures of BASE and what the journalist wrote in his last chapter. Change journalism film and is not very far from what commented Mateo Gil, José Luis Félez, Daniel Sánchez Arévalo and Manuel Martín Cuenca, lucid to the structural and conceptual changes posed by new technologies and that pretty much sums up the words of Martin Cuenca. "There are bad times are times of change."
Then Gabilondo reproduce some phrases that seem exemplary and I subscribe fully.
"The situation is more complicated to have some professionals who had begun to build his life with the old parameters and suddenly found violated.
"The business you're looking for eventually finding a valid model that can be erected in the reference. Although it is channeled through new and unknown technologies, reference models will emerge as a necessity of first order, in the context of new business models. My guess is that the myth of the end of the classical period last little while, but the profession will have to be altered completely. It may therefore be right who announce the death of paper-in a traditional sense or periodic model we know. But if there is an element whose survival is guaranteed are the values, true bastions of journalism at any time and support.
"What is dying is a model business that will force the birth of another. But no new business can pull over the reference period.
"For more than a change in the concept of business, people will always require a figure that describes and explains the reality under the criteria of proven quality.
"It took me long to figure that has always been and always will be-minority demand for a certain requirement."
few days later I read an article by Anna Soler-Pont, one of the literary agents active and responsive to the changes that are happening. The article, published in La Vanguardia April 21, was titled "When There is no plan B ". Also there I found many points in common with the debate that is in the air and affects all cultural industries including film, music, books, journalism ..
These are some of his thoughts:
"The moment we live somewhere between so-called traditional industries and technological revolutions, is fascinating.
"There are more questions than answers. And what happens is that Westerners, especially Europeans, we tend to see the world from a very particular perspective. Because in other parts of the world things are going to a faster pace and long ago they know that there is no plan B. In India and China have already begun to close printing and many children will never see a printed textbook. The dimensions of the school population in emerging unthinkable that each student has all his books in print. The physical book will be luxurious, but the content will be available to everyone.
"Ultimately, what matters is that the contents reach the recipient. Moving, to be read. In what format and what format will not matter.
"But what is also important to give the content the value you deserve. Who created if not paid for it? In a world bound to be digital should care for future generations, teens today are already with the laptop in the backpack that digital texts are trained to give value to the content. "
exciting moment we are living. If you think about it, is almost as exciting as the launch of the printing press allowed books to popularize the issue rather than being subject to a privileged few, very exciting time as the introduction of television news and let images reach everywhere. Exciting time we must build and upload content. As Anna says, as he says Iñaki, as saying in the speakers of scarcity: changing the stands, but the creators will remain indispensable. Or, to summarize a phrase of Martin Cuenca talking about the ease of rolling. "Everyone can now produce images. The hard part is making films and not bullshit. "
In that we.
