The latest Project for excellence in journalism report examines one of the most challenged domain of the moment: news media under all its forms, from newspaper to radio, from internet sites to network TV. It is an interesting look into the potential scenarios this industry will HAVE to take in the coming years.

For some, the new brand is what Wall Street calls “hyper localism” (consider the end of foreign bureaus at the Boston Globe or the narrowing of the coverage area at the Atlanta Journal Constitution). For others, it is personality and opinion […]. For still others it is personal involvement […]. For an emerging cohort of Web sites it is the involvement of everyday people (some alternative news sites now come closer than ever to the promise of authentic citizen media).

It’s a great time to be in this business. Everything will be reinvented in the next few years. Buckle up!
