A New Way To Do Journalism: Andrew Jaspan at TEDxPerth

Andrew Jas­pan is The Founder and Edi­tor of The Conversation; an independent, not-for-profit, news and information service sourced from the university and research sector.
Jaspan previously edited The Age, The Observer (London), The Scotsman and Scotland on Sunday. He was Editor-in-Chief of The Big Issue (London), and he founded and edited the Sunday Herald in Scotland. He is the Asia-Pacific Director for Innovation Media.
There is great pressure on newsrooms worldwide as advertising revenue falls and and shortcuts to a story result in bad outcomes for our society. Meanwhile academics struggle to communicate with the wider public. Andrew discusses a solution to both problems.

About TEDx, x = independently organised event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Liked this: define the values of 21st century journalism -- transparency, good ethics, pluralism, democratising knowledge, trust, being open and global in your thinking. The challenge is to go away from intensely corporatised media which plays the game of vested interests rather than people.

University has two parts, the part that observes, liberal arts, humanities, and the part that decides and takes action, business and professional schools. Are these two sides handled the same way?

Here's my question to you. Do you want to be the journalist that repeats stupid common sense facts that only a kid needs to learn or do you want to be the journalist that reports and informs the public on actual issues that could impact their life and go the extra mile to report an actual solution to the issues.

I think humankind has lost it's moral compass, seems people don't care if journalism is honest as long as it agrees with their agenda.
