The Age of Engagement blog by American University prof. Matthew Nisbet, is a really good example of a blog that mixes communication scholarship, ideas about public engagement, framing, and social commentary in an accessible and entertaining way. Some posts can be a bit long but all offer insight into the nexus of science and communication.Again, this is at the aggregator site Big Think (also see previous post, from bt) which situates Nisbet's thinking within a milieu of other contemporary scholars and professional "thinkers."
What do you think? Will this so-called up-stream journalism provide a better context of facts beyond press-release regurgitation? Are news outlets that still provide longform journalism destined to die in a market of sound-bites and quicky information scanning?
