This is the point. The emphasys is on "editors who choose the news
for us" and present them in the most communicative effective way.
What is the role of journalist if not this?
I believe that this new news medium will succeed both as commercial
and social enterprise if it will build on these professional skills
(choose the relevant news and do the hard job for us, in managing the
overwhelming amount of information more and more avalible), besides
the features allowed by the new technology: flexibility of use and
interaction.
