The digital cluster bomb for journalism

Editor-in-Chief-elect of The Guardian, Katharine Viner is a speech 18 months ago:

In fact, digital is a huge conceptual change, a sociological change, a cluster bomb blowing apart who we are and how our world is ordered, how we see ourselves, how we live. It’s a change we’re in the middle of, so close up that sometimes it’s hard to see. But it is deeply profound and it is happening at an almost unbelievable speed.

Further on in the talk:

A newspaper is complete. It is finished, sure of itself, certain. By contrast, digital news is constantly updated, improved upon, changed, moved, developed, an ongoing conversation and collaboration. It is living, evolving, limitless, relentless.

This is all really excellent stuff. I have great hopes that The Guardian have made exactly the right choice.
