Dan Gilmer □ This newspaper reporter Wang Yu intern Wang Xiao Qiao Singtu / Wang Yu Dan Gilmer is a reporter, the "San Jose Mercury" columnist, is also a well-known blog, Gilmer is the earliest With blogs, and a member of the reporter of the blog published information, his blog has nearly 500,000 readings per month. Recently, in the lecture on the Graduate School of Journalism, Fudan University, more like a low voice, detailed information, rich example, and its impact on the journalism industry. Gilmer learned "9.11" from the New York Times, but there is a person who is not a reporter, also working in Wall Street, because of his office location, witnessing this historical moment, and takes his own digital camera Precious photos, in his own blog, Gilmer saw this photo and put the link in his blog, with the popularity of his blog, thus making it widely known. In the lecture, Gilke also introduced the application of RSS (RDF Site Summary). "I don't quite agree with Microsoft's some protection of copyright. Although it produces a lot of good software." After the end of the speech, Gilmer plans to leave the PPT copy of his lecture, but finally because of the hurry, Gilo still put him The PPT brought back to the United States. In the process of communicating with Fudan blog, Gil is very high, first unfortunately showcase photos of his blog on the morning lecture. He carefully observed the site of each blog, and went to the website, asked about the content of the blog, see the case of comments, links, classification. A student showed the cool blog of Fudan students, introduced their process of independently forming the team to conduct program editing and website design, so that Gilme was surprised. "This is I have never heard of it, very much. I am surprised. "Gilme working in Silicon Valley has unique advantages with new technologies and new ideas that have brought new technologies. In the summer of 1999, Gilmel went to Dave Wann, who worked in Silicon Valley, Dave Wahn recommended that he should try a blog. Gill is curious about what the blog is, Dave Wenhen explains Gilwer, and Gilke is very interesting. At the end of 1999, Gilmer wrote his first blog when he was ready to go to Hong Kong. Jilmer's ideal blog writing is one of the secrets of flowing living water, full of change, and maintaining a secret of blog attractive is the new day: "I put a blog as a very interesting thing in life, not daily routine. I will not feel boring in this way, I will write more interesting ideas. Readers will naturally like it. "Gilkea spent a certain time to update blogs every day, half a hour to two hours. The blog has become another window that Gilmer published information outside the paper media. "Blog is a news media 3.0", in Gilmer, 3.0 is self-media (WE Media) with blog (this word is also translated into "personal media", "mutual media"). It is used to use traditional media, and Gilmei, using blog post information, has now become a new trend shake flag screaming, and the implementation of the body. In 2001, the first visit to China's Gilme was entitled "Trend" of "9.11" after the "Trend of World News Media" in Tsinghua University. When most Chinese don't know what blogs, Gilmera has claimed that digital technology can make "anyone can be used as a publisher." Unshaped to reporter, with its sharp report, the style of the quarter is, Gil Murdan, who is in life, is cautious, more like a modest bank staff. Only by stroll in the streets of the downtown, quietly take the camera to take the camera to take the scene, he reveals the character of the reporter.
Personalized writing method: How do you define blogs? Is it a personal media? Is it personal writing, spread, and what is the release? Gilmer: From the form, the blog is a series of posting, which is rolled down, the top one is the latest. There are generally links and comments. The blog is characterized by it is very human, not a public relations or press release. Reporter: What is the difference between the blog text and the traditional text we see? Gilmer: There is a personal point of view on the blog and newspaper, but the column is very similar, but the typical news narrative is very different. The articles on the blog are generally a conversation, not that official. You can listen to the sound behind the article by reading the blog, see the people behind the article. Reporter: Can we understand that the blog is the subversion of traditional media writing methods? Gilmer: It is not entirely because there is a column similar to the blog on the traditional media. Of course, I really feel that the blog has an unusual writing of traditional media reporters, which is to write stories in a very personal way. But I am not ready to predict what, because everyone is trying to write a variety of writing methods. Reporter: You have said that the press has become a dialogue from the lecture, is this conversation? Gilmer: Blog is not all why this change is just a part of this change. This change is more than the reason, but the reporters learn to listen to the audience's ideas. Reporter: Look at your blog readers and read the readers of your newspaper column? Gilmer: I know how many people buy our newspapers, but I don't know how many people look at my columns. Some people watch newspapers are watching the commercial version, not necessarily seeing my column. But feel, people who look at my columns are more than people who look at my blog. Reporter: Let's do a hypothesis, if a very important thing, you can only choose a place to express his voice, will you choose a blog or a traditional media? Gilmer: If I determine this is an exclusive news, I will choose to release it on the newspaper; if you can't sure it is placed online. The reality is that many traditional media are published online on newspapers or television, sometimes in order to pursue timeliness, online release earlier. "9.11" is a transcription point reporter for blogging: what development phases have Western blogs? What are the important events and turning points of far-reaching influence? Gilmer: There is no obvious segmentation in the development of blogs, but "9.11" is a turning point. Reporter: In May 2003, the "New York Times" inside the New York Times took the lead in publishing the blog site of Romanisco, many readers began to have almost religious love for the blog site of Romanisco, thousands of readers will browse This site is the first thing to internet access every day. Is the actual situation really like this? The example of Romanisco can help us understand the authority of the blog, how is the credibility of the credibility? Gilmer: I am also a blog of Romanisco every day, which is also one of the best blogs. Credibility needs to be established through long-term efforts, which means that the correctness is guaranteed, and the error is corrected in time, try to be fair. Reporter: In July 2003, you are the first reporter who reported the Iranian government officially blocked the student blog event. How did you get a message source? How do you think about this event? Gilmer: I am not the first person who reports this thing. I saw this news from an Iranian blog. I feel important, let his articles next to your blog. I am deeply sorry about their practices, I hope they can let people really express their ideas.
Reporter: I have just mentioned Iran, in fact, there are blogs that have been banned. In the US war, CNN sent professional reporters who sent Iraqi front lines who have been asked to update his blog. The result is constant. The blog of the reporter was banned, what did you explain? Gilmer: This reporter later went to MSNBC from CNN, I think this is the loss of CNN, this reporter is still doing blogs, writing columns. They published a statement after the incident, I think this is a big mistake. Reporter: Do you think this is lost in CNN? Is there an impact on its credibility? Gilmer: This thing to CNN is just concerned in the bloggers, and non-bloggers did not pay attention. This is not a big event. CNN is very pioneer, I don't know why it will become so conservative, I am shocked. Reporter: Senior reporters of "Houston Chronicle" Steve Olavsen, because opened a blog column using a pen name, and he has been submitted by the newspaper, so he has become the first professional reporter in the history of the US news. Do you know this? Gilmer: I think the newspaper has reacted excessive, of course, you can't write an anonymous speech on the blog while writing news. However, the newspaper does have a bit a little more response. Reporter: This year's election, four of the 9 Democratic candidates have their own blogs for voters, what did this explain? Gilmer: This is not written by the candidate. It is their assistant to help them. Anyway, this is a positive and positive change, whether it is supported by him or does not support him, you can know more about what this candidate is doing. Blog in China and its future reporters: In China, blogs are more understood and applied in personal diaries, peepworthy personal privacy, and people who write bloggers and blogs exist between requirements and expectations. Have you had such a personal diary in the United States? Gilmer: Yes, there are many people in the United States regard blogs as a person diary. Reporter: What kind of stage is China blog and Western blog? What is missing? Gilmer: Obviously, the blog is still a new thing in China, I have to do some investigations to answer this question. Reporter: This time I came to China, what impressed is your impression on China's blog? Gilmer: The most surprised that the Fudan University students can built the team to write Chinese software programs, create blogs, this is the previous never heard of it, it is very great. When I went to Tsinghua lecture three years ago, the student in Shanghai has not yet built blogs. In Hong Kong, when I was teaching in 1999, I started to use the blog. Reporter: Please introduce your new book "We the Media" translated into Chinese working mode? Gilmer: It is a group of volunteers who do this. They feel that this book should be translated into Chinese, and make it into a team to translate, not company-based operations, I feel very honored. Reporter: Is this way very common in foreign countries? Gilmer: Not universal. Reporter: Can you tell Chinese readers to introduce this content of this work? What do you want readers to know from it? Gilmer: The main content is the collisions and conflicts between journalism and technology, as well as this conflict impact on reporters, news sources and audiences. If people can recognize that the media is undergoing huge changes, there are many new ways to operate the media, which is already very good.
