Liveblogging is strictly connected to storytelling - is it replacing traditional articles or adding more value onto them?
Liveblogging is not new. It started when Internet started. Bertrand says he used to cover Tour de France back in 1995. It was liveblogging, even though no one back then used that word... -

Bertrand Pecquerie
In the history of liveblogging, there have been three main changes:
1. the explosion of social media. Storytelling is no longer by journalist only but it has become a collaborative effort with the community
2. New startups like Sourcefabric, Cover it Live and of course ScribbleLive: you can do business with liveblogging. What ScribbleLive offers is the capacity of traffic. If you don't have big servers, you'll crush.
3. The birth of liveblogging as you know it was during the Arab Spring, during the Egyptian revolution: not only live videos but live voicemail messages too aljazeera.scribblelive.com to dodge Internet censorship -
Aron Pilhofer
I started a team that combines technology and journalism. We build the things that our CMS cannot. We build new story telling devices. I also run the social media team at NY Times and more than that we really focus on projects about engagement - to the point we want to change the name of the team itself. Finally, I just started a team around analytics, but this last point won't be touched today.

Aron is showing this on the big screen as an example of liveblogging shifting towards the much-abused second-screen experience. There used to be a live stream,Twitter feed on the right rail and liveblog at the bottom.
We used trivia, and people could pick potential winners and people could see scores in real-time as editors were piping through answers to give readers a personalised experience.
It brings readers in providing a two ways conversation. -

Talking about syndication between Boston.com and Repubblica. Perhaps multi-newsroom liveblogging is what happens across our 18 regional channels. They use liveblogging on 3 levels: the traditional one, covering big events; national feed syndicated on smaller, regional papers and integrated/curated locally by newsrooms with own resources and local flavour; finally, local events followed by local livebloggers.

Douglas Arellanes former journalist at LA Times.
Started to work in the media development field. We found out newsrooms are the same all around the world. We started to recognise commonalities between news organisations and their working methods. We are therefore trying to bridge together newsrooms by producing software given away for free.

Newsrooms have limited resources. Not much money. Softwares cost money. Also, there is a strong competition from online platforms. Another thing we recognised is that newsrooms have embraced liveblogging - perhaps the first one operated by the Telegraph - and newsrooms are cooperating more. Pool coverage is nothing new.

Pool coverage is key in conflict scenarios. With Superdesk (SourceFabric) we developed a syndication model like ScribbleLive and Storify. Pulling together stories from different parts of the web and from different parts of the world. The idea is that a liveblog can have a sort of RSS feed you can aggregate in different ways. We use open JSON standards for this communication.
-
Live coverage of breaking news is now common for media organisations, with many of them running several live blogs simultaneously which is changing classical storytelling. New live blogging tools are arriving and for shrinking newsrooms it can be an answer for maintaining quality journalism. Multi-newsroom live blogs will allow aggregation of content from different newsrooms covering the same major event, such as a revolution or an election in a foreign country.
-
Today we will liveblog things like the eynote speech by Mathew Ingram, a star panel featuring Adam Baker founder of Blottr; Eric Carvin social media editor AP; Anthony De Rosa, social media editor Reuters; Stuart Hughes, BBC News; Mark Little, founder and CEO Storyful; Turi Munthe CEO and founder Demotix.
We might be liveblogging BuzzFeed presentation - let's see if we can drink that many coffees... - and open democracy movements in Russia.
Finally, Bill Emmott and John Lloyd will discuss whether the web makes us free - or more free.

Lots of skills involve specialisation, thinking about new skills. The core skill will always be recognising and telling a story. It really relies on journalists knowing technical knowledge and ecosystem knowledge. Journalists will have to know where to spend their time more effectively.
A brilliant narrative writer is just another specialist. It could be that your speciality is in developing news apps, or aggregating, or health care and the pharmaceutical industry or finding great pics of cats like in BuzzFeed.
At Columbia we teach a course that combines computer science and journalism, for people working at the forefront of the industry. These are skills that people out there don't really have.
It is worth to remember that journalism is very important. We work in exceptional and difficult circumstances, and Italian people know it. Our report acknowledges that, and shows the path for change.

Emily Bell, Keynote
Report Post Industrial Journalism not centred on business models even though we say at the beginning is that the advertising model has failed. Whatever comes next has to have a different model.
Post industrial journalism has to be a lot smaller.
Why post industrial? Coz journalism is not an industry anymore. Production process was all about to get stories from one end of the pipe to the other, packaging stories and pushing them through. This is not really fit for the future.
All reporting now can be done effectively with iPhone and old newsrooms can look outdated. There is no longer such a thing such the press addressing such a thing as the public.
Modern newsrooms look a bit like House of Cards' one - the new series released on Netflix. The series is about post industrial journalism and the relationship with politics . The series has been carefully crafted with data: authors knew people like Kevin Spacey for this kind of role, and he was cast for the role.
Newsrooms sometimes know they have to change but they are locked into processes and daily barriers and CMS issues … so that in the end they don't change.
We are talking here about a major shift from a losing model to a winning one.
We talked already about Homicide Watch in DC and Scotus Blog. The first had only two journalists, so they could not use the same tools of an old newsrooms. They used databases and social media to cover all homicides in DC area, and gathered large audiences. It is not monetisable and done in a non-political way, but it does imply a political angle.
Why the Washington Post don't do that? They have other processes.
Scotus Blog is a very niche blog for court reporting, but has become the most important source for the Supreme Court. They reported the decision more accurately than CNN because they had more legal expertees than CNN reporters.
Many startups replace old institutions, which are weak and have no more longevity, they are not strong anymore. Ecosystem has become a weak one for news. There is a great deal of money going to startups and the problem of sustainability for big, old newsrooms.
A MIXED ECOLOGY. The power shift has changed from the institution of the brand to the people. A fundamental change.
We need power, strength and longevity to hold power into account, as power has all the three of these qualities.
75% of people still get the news from word of mouth. In the older days you had a blog where people can comment but only 1% of people comment, only 9% of people would put a mark or share or whatever. Last year this percentage rose to near 76%. A really enormous change.
News are broken by people in St. Peters' Square waiting for the white smoke and feeding the news into the network in real time.
Even the NBA cannot sustain the big salaries and info structures of the old business model. (Jay Z example)
The aim has always been of serving the needs of the brand. We never thought how to give journalists the right tools to build the right narratives for the stories.
A modern news organisation is more like an agency model, perhaps. For the individual journalists is a big change. We need to think who to employ if we want to survive.
Specialisation is one answer.
Think about Nate Silver translating his skills as statistician into journalism, and the NYTimes decided to franchise his blog into the website, becoming one of the components of the political reporting effort in the rump up for the US elections.
He never attended the wHite house meetings and never went on a plane with Obama. He did it differently, got it right and became the most successful and authoritarian journalist in the US.

Disrupting is more important than protecting live.festivaldelgiornalismo.com -
We got to a point where it was hard to sustain a business without public intervention or direct public funding. Many Italian newspapers are subsidised by Government.
In the UK this idea his horrifying. Being under the Gov control is a terrible idea. A mixed model (American free-for-all one) and European is a desirable balance. -
