Blogology 101: ความหมายของ "BLOG" / MSM vs. Blogs (Citizens media) / 008



วันที่ 23 มีนาคม พ.ศ. 2549 : Posted by a_somjai



จริง ๆ แล้ว ทั้งคนเขียนบล็อก และ คนอ่านบล็อก (คือเสพอ่านบล็อกแต่ไม่เคยเขียนลงบล็อก บางคนอาจเคยเขียนลงคอมเมนต์) นั้นรู้เรื่องบล็อกแค่ไหน คำถามแรกคือ “มันคืออะไร” … วันนี้เราจะมาคุยกันเรื่องนี้

blog – บล็อก คืออะไร?

1. ความหมายของ blog – บล็อก ตามคุณสมบัติด้านเนื้อหา

เมื่อพิจารณาในแง่ “เรื่องเล่า หรือ การให้ความรู้แก่คนในสังคม” แล้ว (อ่าน 004, 005, 006)

“A blog – บล็อกใด ๆ” ก็คือ หนังสือพิมพ์ วารสาร นิตยสาร ที่มีพื้นฐานของ “เรื่องเล่า” ที่เขียนไว้บนเว็ป (web) ในรูปแบบเนื้อหาของบทความที่กล่าวถึง “ใคร/สิ่งใด ทำอะไร ที่ไหน” (อาจจะเพิ่ม “อย่างไร และ ทำไม” เข้าไปด้วย) โดยผู้เล่าจัดทำนำเสนอได้ด้วยอาศัยความรู้เชิงวิชาชีพพอสมควร และจะต้องจัดทำนำเสนออยู่เป็นประจำสม่ำเสมอ (อาจพูดได้ว่า เจ้าของบล็อกทำงานทุกวัน เป็นการบันทึก การเล่า หรือ สนทนากับใคร ๆ ..อย่างน้อยก็กับตัวเอง ในลักษณะ diary ),

กิจกรรม “บันทึก เรื่องเล่า อย่างก้าวหน้า ในรูปบล็อกบนเว็ปไซต์ - The activity of updating a blog” ดังกล่าวมานี้ เรียกว่า “การเขียนบล็อก - blogging" และ บุคคลใด ๆ ผู้มีบล็อกและทำงาน/เล่น A blog – บล็อก เขา/เราผู้นั้นได้ชื่อเรียกว่า "ชาวบล็อก / นักเลงบล็อก / คนเล่นบล็อก / บล็อกเกอร์ - blogger."

บล็อกทั้งหลายจึงเป็นการผลิตสร้างใหม่ต่อเติม “งานเขียน” ให้ก้าวหน้าอย่างต่อเนื่องสม่ำเสมอ โดยใช้ ซอฟต์แวร์ที่เอื้ออำนวยให้คนทั่วไปผู้มีความรู้เพียงเล็กน้อยทางเทคนิคหรือไม่มีพื้นฐานภูมิรู้ทางเทคนิคเลยสามารถ “เขียน จัดการ แก้ไข” บล็อกได้ (to update and maintain the blog)

อนึ่ง “การ ส่งงานเขียนผ่านลงไปบนบล็อก - Postings on a blog” ส่วนใหญ่แล้วจะมีขั้นตอนที่เป็นระเบียบแบบแผนมองเห็นส่วนสำคัญ ๆ ของ “ชิ้นงาน” (ที่ถูกจัดระเบียบดีแล้ว) ได้ชัดเจน


A blog หรือ weblog เป็น website เป็นเสมือนเครื่องมือรับใช้ผู้คนในการนำพา “ข่าวสาร ความรู้ ความคิด ความเห็น ความรู้สึก เรื่องเล่า เรื่องราว ชิ้นงาน” ไปแลกเปลี่ยนทัศนะและความคิดต่อ "สาร" ที่ต้องการ "สื่อ" ส่งผ่านสู่กัน ผ่านบล็อกเหล่านั้นได้ โดย(เปิดพื้นที่ไว้เป็นนัย ๆ เพื่อ) เชิญชวนให้คนอื่น ๆ แสดงความเห็นไว้ในส่วน “comment”

[Added | May 24, 2006.| ** 1) ความรู้รอบด้านเกี่ยวกับบล็อก ตั้งแต่ความหมาย ประวัติความเป็นมา ไปจนถึงองค์ประกอบ และบทบาทของบล็อกในยุคปัจจุบัน ฯ อ่านได้ที่ไขต์ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia หมวดเรื่อง/บทความ... Blog ** 2) สำหรับเยาวชนแนะนำให้อ่านบทคววมสั้น ๆ ที่เขียนเป็นภาษาอังกฤษ โดย Praphapit Jumpee เรื่อง Bits and blogs ที่ไซต์ www.nationjunior.com ]

อาจพูดได้ว่า ทุกวันนี้ บล็อกทั้งหลาย เป็น “สื่อกระแสหลัก mainstream media (MSM)”* ที่มีอำนาจเต็มในการสื่อสารติดต่อกับผู้อ่านจำนวนมาก เพราะหากคุณเป็นเจ้าของเว็ปบล็อกที่มีซอฟต์แวร์ดังกล่าวให้บริการแก่คนอื่น ๆ นอกจากมีไว้เพื่อการสร้าง "เรื่องเล่าของตัวคุณเอง" แล้ว คุณก็สามารถแนะนำใคร ๆ ไป “พิมพ์เผยแพร่ publish” บนบล็อกของคุณ (หรือร่วมกับบล็อกของคุณ) จากส่วน/พื้นที่จัดการบล็อกได้ทันที ก็อย่างในส่วนพื้นที่ admin /manage area ของ bloggang.com ชุมชนชาวบล็อกแก๊ง ของเรานี้ไง ก็และในบางเวปบล็อกที่เป็นของบุคคล/หรือคณะฯ จะเปิด/อนุญาตให้บุคคลอื่น ๆ เข้ามา "เขียนเรื่องของตนลงเผยแพร่ในบล็อกนั้นได้ด้วย" (โดยมีเจ้าของเวปบล็อกเป็นบรรณาธิการ ผู้ตรวจสอบ ควบคุม เลือกสรร อย่างเข้มหรือย่างหลวม ๆ ให้อยู่ในแนวทาง เนื้อหา และ กฎ กติกา มารยาท)



แนวความคิดจาก:
1. Ring around the blog...
2. blogSpirit : create your free blog

* หมายเหตุ ความจริงแล้ว “สื่อกระแสหลัก mainstream media (MSM)” ที่ดำรงอยู่เดิม หมายถึง หนังสือพิมพ์ โทรทัศน์ วิทยุ ดังนั้นการใช้ MSM กับ blogs บนอินเตอร์เน็ต จึงเป็นการยกขึ้นมาพูดเพื่อ “ท้าทาย” การกุม “อำนาจ” ผ่านเรื่องเล่าและการเล่าเรื่องในสังคมโลกยุคดิจิตอล ซึ่งเราจะได้ “สนทนากัน” ในชั้นเรียนวิชา “Blogology” ระดับสูงขึ้นไป (เกริ่นไว้…เพื่อเชิญชวนให้…ชาวบล็อกเกอร์…เข้ามาเรียนรู้ร่วมกัน… ในโอกาสต่อ ๆ ไป)

อ่าน ... Can newspapers do blogs right?

โดยเฉพาะความเห็นของ Bob Cauthorn / CityTools.net

QUOTE

" I think it's going to be difficult for newspapers to do blogs right because their DNA continues to be trapped in the "we talk, you listen" mode. Fundamentally, staff-written blogs are nothing different than what newspapers do now -- simply spilling more of the same voices onto the public streets.
Sure, staff-written blogs have a fragile patina of interactively because some accept comments. Scuffing off that patina doesn't take much.

1) Under the best case, newspaper blog comments are enfeebled interactivity. Only fractional percentages of readers comment on staff-written blogs. Maybe the public has simply given up on the idea of newspapers listening or caring. Consider the case of the Guardian's staff blogs. The Guardian is one of the best online newspapers in the world and its commitment to the staff blog borders on the fanatical. They throw substantial resources at it. And yet, if you look closely at the number of comments per post (realize in many cases comments are more than a week old) and then you consider the total traffic on the site, you must conclude that the supposed interactivity of the Guardian's blogs has failed utterly. I mean we're talking less that 1/10 of one percent of all readers who are moved to comment! (FYI, I did a quick study of this last fall because the Guardian folks had a hissy over my post attacking the concept of staff blogs.)

2) Even if you get a few comments, the moment they turn hostile to the newspaper, suddenly the commitment to interactivity wavers. It's happened a number of times. And indeed, the Hiltzik incident specifically highlights this. Today's newspapers are sufficiently thin-skinned that the idea that people might use comments to attack the writers doesn't go down well. So you either stop comments, or you remove the accounts of critics, or -- as in the case of Hiltzik -- you create deceptive online personas to respond to the attacks. It's the "we talk, you listen" attitude taken to the extreme: Even if the public talks back, the media requires the last word! It's a fatal appetite on the part of the modern newspaper. Some sociologists have pointed out that modern America can exert power on the global stage, but it no longer exerts authority (for authority comes from the nexus of wisdom, restraint, morality and cleaving to higher purposes). Newspapers are in a similar boat -- they're still powerful institutions but their authority is in shambles. OK, let's get this straight: So we let the public speak and when a tiny number do we come rushing in with fake personas to defend the paper against attacks. We never let anyone else get the last word. That's wrong and it's stupid and it's going to kill papers. Instead of stifling criticism, newspapers should embrace it and learn from it and grow wise.

(Incidentally, The fact that the LA Times perceives the Hiltzik's actions as a violation of ethics is a *very* good thing. One of the dirty little secrets of newspaper blogs is that many, many of the comments come from unidentified staff members. I applaud the LAT for this move. It's high time to stop this deplorable practice.)

So if newspapers blogs are not *really* about interacting with the community -- and I challenge anyone to demonstrate they've been successful at that goal -- what makes them different? They just offer the same voices you read all the time.

This is *exactly* what my beef with staff blogs is about and why I've been trying to get newspapers to change the approach. Jon Stewart put it nicely when he said mainstream media blogs "give voice to the already voiced."

Look, it's easy to get this right: don't have staff members blog and instead bring in the legitimate outside voices. There are many ways that a mainstream media organization can do this -- make a blog about *outside* blogs, point some of your traffic to outside voices (even those who, gasp, criticize you!), invite some of the best outside bloggers in your community to post right on your pages. Give selected bloggers early access to your stories -- particularly enterprise stories -- so that they can have same-day reactions. (Make sure these are bloggers you can trust not to jump the publication, obviously.) In other words, genuinely and sincerely embrace *outside* voices. Allow the community to have a stake in what you are doing once more.

As stand it stands right now, newspapers keep shouting louder in a room that, increasingly, is emptying around us. Maybe, before the last reader departs we can convince people to stay by letting them know we want to talk *with* our community, not *at* them. "

Blogs Are Critical Friends of Newspapers. /or Blogs Are Critical Pals Of Newspapers. By Jimmy Lai. May 10, 2006.

"A blog is a personal newspaper. Every blogger is an amateur journalist." Many knowledgeable people say so............

..........................................................
Blogs are personal web pages. The bloggers put down what they see, hear or think on their personal pages like a diary so that the friends in the circle -- or even the whole world -- can read and comment. Therefore, blogs are said to be platforms to converse with other people

....................................................
The word 'blog' is new. In 1997, American netizen Jorn Barger called his web page a "weblog," meaning that it is a "log" of the "web." But things got twisted when another American netizen Peter Merholz joked in 1997 that weblog can be split into "We blog." From then on, blog became a web page for personal reporting and opinionating. It is a verb as well as a noun.
..............................
...............................
I once imagined: if there is only a world of blogs today and newspapers haven't been invented yet, what do you think I would do as an entrepreneur? I would start a newspaper! Even if the Internet brings in an endless flow of information, people will still need an editor to help them filter and digest the information and provide them with quality and convenience. Those are the functions of a newspaper. Of course, I run a newspaper and that is my prejudice. That is why everyone must "take it with a pinch of salt."




Blogs and Newspapers There is plenty to discuss in Jimmy Lai's Blogs Are Critical Pals Of Newspapers.

You kids just go ahead and entertain yourselves Posted by John Murrell | May 30, 2006.

- the vast public throbbing with creativity and wired up with broadband ... writers, photographers, filmmakers and artists .. constituted the class of Professional Creative ..."content providers". That's how it worked with newspapers and magazines and television, and to media companies that's how it looked like it would work on the Web. Silly media companies.

-Home broadband adoption is going mainstream and that means user-generated content is coming from all kinds of internet users[ Pew internet & American life project, 28 May 2006.] .... The Web is "shifting now to user-generated content,". "It shows people engaging with the Internet in a number of different ways in their lives. It shows that people are pretty interested in using the technology to put something of themselves on the Internet, not just pull down information from the Internet." said John Horrigan, associate director of research for the project.

- Consumers are no longer restricted to consuming. "It's the mass talking to the mass," "Now there's no central spigot that everything comes out of."

social networks are the new media [by Robert Young] ... "Today’s social networks (along with other forms of social media, like blogging and online video-sharing) are just the tip of iceberg when it comes to the long-term potential of digital self-expression. ... To some extent, self-expression should be viewed as a new industry, one that will co-exist alongside other traditional media industries like movies, TV, radio, newspapers and magazines. But in this new industry, the raw materials for the 'products' are the people."

- "the global karaoke machine"[by Nick Carr] ...: Is there any money to be made serving as a user-to-user clearinghouse? And how close is this to a zero-sum game? "If people are busy creating their own private reality shows, how much time and interest will they ultimately have for reading newspapers or going to the movies?" Carr asks. "Self-commoditization is in the end indistinguishable from self-consumption. And narcissism is a very deep well. Young may be right that 'digital self-expression' is an iceberg. But if that's so, the traditional media business may be the Titanic."

Web Users Open the Gates

TEN INTERNET YEARS
Web Users Open the Gates


By Jay Rosen (Jay Rosen teaches journalism at New York University and is the author of the blog PressThink.)
Special to washingtonpost.com
Monday, June 19, 2006; 12:00 AM

"The "closed" system of gates and gatekeepers has been busted open. What's the most amazing thing about the new media world? Its low barriers to entry. Thanks to the Internet, it is cheap and simple to launch a site that, theoretically, the whole world could be watching.

"The new balance of power between producers and consumers. ----- The basic idea of what defines a news "consumer" morphs when consumers gain access to producers' tools, and can float between being a reader and an editor.

"Sources have more power to sidestep journalists. What goes for consumers goes for sources. Because sources can be publishers too, there's a new balance of power between them and reporters, who once gave those sources a voice in the press.

"The Net exploded the universe in press criticism. --Today there is much more criticism of the press from outside the club of mainstream journalists. -- Heavy consumers of online journalism also effectively fact-check, cry foul and push back with weblogs and other tools. That's an environment of critical scrutiny unknown to most journalists pre-1996. Of all things bloggers have tried to do, their criticism of the news media has probably made the biggest difference in the business.

"The Net has exposed group think in journalism.

"Disrupting the legacy media's overconfidence.

"The amateurs were there and they were prepared."

The People Formerly Known as the Audience

by Jay Rosen June 27, 2006


"The people formerly known as the audience wish to inform media people of our existence, and of a shift in power that goes with the platform shift you’ve all heard about."

"The people formerly known as the audience are simply the public made realer, less fictional, more able, less predictable. You should welcome that, media people. But whether you do or not we want you to know we’re here."

"Indymedia, Journalism, and Digital Culture". by Mark Deuze @ Deuzeblog: Personal Irregular on Research, Teaching, Media Life, Work & Play.

QUOTE--
"Synthesis

In the final section of this essay I discuss the ways in which digital culture can be seen as a self-organizing property of Indymedia and journalism. With self-organization or autopoiesis I consider the various ways in which social groups (families, neighbourhoods, circles of friends) and social systems (medicine, law, politics, journalism) continually reproduce themselves by internalizing particular values, beliefs and practices operationally independent from the outside world yet at the same time structurally coupled with other groups and systems within that world. This notion was originally introduced in the 1970s by Chilean biologists Herbert Maturana and Fracisco Varela and has been introduced in the social sciences most prominently by German sociologist Niklas Luhmann. Self-organization is not particular to digital culture, as much as distantiation, participation and bricolage have manifestations before or next digital culture as well. Indeed, I consider all (social) systems to have autopoietic properties. Niklas Luhmann (1990) primarily considers the communicative acts and relationships within a social system as self-organizing, rather than the actors (that is: people) themselves. My argument therefore maintains that a digital culture is created, reproduced, sustained and recognized as such through the ways in which people establish relationships and communicate about these relationships. What is amazing about a digital culture - rather than a print, visual or information culture - is that it fosters community while at the same time can be fueled by isolation. In other words: we can be (or feel) connected to everyone else within the system - for example through chatrooms, Instant Messaging, group weblogs, Trackback systems and RSS (Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary) feeds on individual weblogs, Usenet discussion groups, Bulletin Boards Systems, SMS-tv, and so on - while at the same time being isolated as individuals sitting at a desk in front of a computer at home, at the office, in a public library or internet cafe. Yet digital culture is not self-created and self-maintained through connected devices and access alone - it also has self-referential properties in that certain values, beliefs and practices are preferred over others. A good example is the emergence of a Netiquette as an evolving set of ethical guidelines for communicating and publishing online. These values are sometimes formulated in opposition to (and thus distantiated from) those upheld by mainstream corporate media: preferring the personal experiental account rather than professional detached observation, heralding openness for all rather than access based on expertise claimed on the basis of institutional authority, attributing more weight to providing a bottom-up platform for individual voices instead of top-down delivering of messages based on a consensual perception of the common denominator. Again we must realize that such values have not sprung into existence when the first Bulletin Board System went online. What has happened, though, is an acceleration of acceptance of these values through the ongoing proliferation of internet access and usage, and a corresponding process of infusing disparate social systems like oppositional social movements and professional journalism, inspiring the emergence of Indymedia and participatory news. If publics increasingly demand to have a say in the news, even though they do not know what they talk about nor are they generally interested in that news, it must be seen as a communicative act and thus an autopoietic component of digital culture. Digital culture, in other words, can be characterized by participation, distantiation and bricolage as its key elements, whih self-organizing properties are part of online (Indymedia) as well as offline (journalism) news media phenomena.

We live in a digital culture. That culture is still evolving - as all cultures are and always will be - in the directions as outlined in this essay. This will have consequences for the way we work, communicate, give meaning to our lives. We are at once local and global, individual and collective, isolated and connected, engaged and apathetic. I hope to have showed that this seemingly eclectic and paradoxical mix of values and charactertistics are by no means mutually exclusive, but rather must be seen as constituents of each other, and parts of a whole that is digital culture. Some of the most pressing debates of today - about authenticity and originality, self-determination and social cohesion, equity and equality - are already influenced by this emerging cultural system all over the world. Social systems in society are feeling the impact of this emerging cultural consensus as well - especially the traditional institutions of modernity: parliamentary democracy and journalism. With a discussion set against the backdrop of Indymedia and journalism I have aimed to synthesize the core elements of digital culture with the often-voiced concerns about the decline or change of national politics and mainstream news media, in order to show how new types of citizenship, participation, activism, dialogue and interactive communication have emerged. There is a message of hope here somewhere.

This sweeping overview of what in my opinion are the three core elements of contemporary digital culture - participation, distantiation, and bricolage - hopefully shows effectively that the phenomena we observe in daily life online have their emergent properties in the offline of days gone by. I realize I am not suggesting anything new or original here - I am merely offering my own bricolage in order participate in the self-organizing system that is academia, and by referring to authors before me building on their ideas and publications, I hope to become part of a creative commons that inherently consists of multiple authorship and collaborative control over the concepts we discuss."

Journalism of all kinds and the process of growing
Posted by Mitch Ratcliffe @ 1:58 pm

"Nicholas Lemann of The New Yorker has contributed a thoughtful piece to the debate over what a citizen journalism might look like,
Amateur Hour: Journalism without journalists.
My guess is that the blogosphere will take it badly, minimizing the argument as another "journalism vs. bloggers" rant. It's not.

The debate is not whether bloggers are journalists, though many believe they are, but whether there is a process, the one professionlized as "journalism." that is valuable enough to preserve in an era when barriers to communication are radically lowered. As a journalist-turned-turned blogger, I obviously see blogging as a channel for getting ideas out.

AMATEUR HOUR
Journalism without journalists. by NICHOLAS LEMANN
THE NEW YORKER. Issue of 2006-08-07. Posted 2006-07-31

"On the Internet, everybody is a millenarian. Internet journalism, according to those who produce manifestos on its behalf, represents a world-historical development—not so much because of the expressive power of the new medium as because of its accessibility to producers and consumers. That permits it to break the long-standing choke hold on public information and discussion that the traditional media—usually known, when this argument is made, as “gatekeepers” or “the priesthood”—have supposedly been able to maintain up to now."

Spelling Out the Media Shift by Mark Glaser

"The media world is going through a time of wrenching change brought on by new technology, the rise of the Internet and folks getting fed up with the corporate mass media losing touch with their reality. How can a mega-chain of newspapers, a TV broadcast conglomerate, or a cookie-cutter radio system interpret what’s going on in your neighborhood? And in the world of entertainment, the big companies are more concerned with prosecuting file-traders than helping create easy digital avenues for customers to get what they want when they want it.

But the media shift isn’t just about small vs. big.

"Digital technology revolutionizes many of the ways we receive and use information every day. The availability of online resources has changed everything from hunting for a new house to reading the newspaper to purchasing plane tickets, and as a result has disrupted established structures (such as the real estate, news, and airline businesses). Telecommuting has become widespread. The market for popular music has transformed dramatically. Internet telephony presents a real challenge to established telecommunications companies.

"Absolutely.

New Media is going to kick the mainstream media’s ass (or perhaps it already is) Aug 12, 2006 at 8:30 pm by Matt

"The reality is that right now there are a couple folks writing columns for various blogs, ......,and many other mainstream newspapers. Some of them might even be working in their underwear.


Because we’re fortunate enough to operate The Blog Herald, we receive alot of calls from the mainstream media asking some very basic questions about the blogosphere. Like, “what’s a blog”.. which we received as recently as two days ago. Or, “How many blogs are there…”

The lack of knowledge of the mainstream media about this new world that we live in is scary…"




Arttu Vanninen Say:

"In February the local newspaper (or the big company behind it) here decided to set up a couple of blogs where they wanted two young authors to write about their “media using habits”, since there was this “newspaper week” in Finland or something. Well, I was asked to come along, though I had this feeling that the folks in the newspaper had no idea what blogging is actually about. I mean, to set up a blog and write there *one week* about how you use your media… that kind of writing (I don’t consider it ‘blogging’) about how your day has gone etc. is just boring to read.

I ended up telling about the social media landscape and different blogs and stuff like that, but one week isn’t really a time to get readers. After that week I got the feeling that the old media is lost in the internet world.

Something about the lost-being says the use of the phrase “web diaries” (nettipäiväkirjat in Finnish) instead of “blogs”. I think it gives the wrong image about them, since web diaries are about yourself, blogs are about the world around you.

Though there are these Finnish newspapers that are trying to get into blogging (like the biggest paper in Finland, Helsingin Sanomat), I think so far their efforts haven’t been so successful. From my point of view it’s because the editors are responsible for their writings to their employer (roughly put: if you say something we or our advertisers don’t like, you can be fired), whereas independent bloggers have no authority except themselves to be responsible for."

Making the jump from one-man blog to community website
"Veteran journalist Kevin Roderick is growing LAObserved.com into a community portal for Southern California voices. " By Robert Niles
Posted: 2006-07-31 at OJR: Online Journalism Review.

"OJR: Talk a little bit about managing these new contributors. Because there is a bit of a jump to go from a one-person publication to assuming the role of the editor managing a bunch of other writers. Now, obviously, you've had some experience in that in the past that I assume you're gonna be drawing upon. But, how do you see that playing out in the blog?

Roderick: Well, first of all, it's kind of fun to be back in the editor's seat a little bit more directly than I have been lately. But the way I've set this up is, the contributors are going to mostly contribute to new blogs that are kind of operating as sidebar blogs to LA Observed. All of them will have sign-on passwords to the site, and be posting themselves. I'm not editing the content of the blogs. These are meant to be contributions from people who I trust to put up on the site unedited and unfiltered, for the most part.

OJR: What's in it for the contributors? Are they being paid? Are they getting an ad share? Is it just for the publicity? What did you use to get them on board?

Roderick: Well, they're not being paid. And – you know, LA Observed is primarily a personal site that is supported to a limited degree by advertising and sponsors, who paid for the expenses of keeping the site up. And that will continue to be necessary, and even more so.

I went to people and said, you know, "I have this website." All of these contributors were regular readers of LA Observed, and I essentially offered them an outlet and a place on which to come online and kind of fly their flag, in a supportive environment where they didn't have to start their own blog from scratch.

I've also promised them that there will be not only no editing, but they will also retain all rights to what they write on the website. So that if they they post something that they can turn into a magazine article or a book or whatever, go for it. It's not my property. It's a place for them to come on and be online, rather than it's something that I'm creating."





Every day, the newspaper reprints a blog post selected by the editor.

[059] A Blog Every Day (08/15/2006) As noted by Sidekick, Hong Kong's mainstream newspaper Sing Pao is carrying a daily column titled "每日一blog" (A Blog Every Day). Every day, the newspaper reprints a blog post selected by the editor.

What is the business sense? The more cynical among us would recognize that Sing Pao is financially strapped (as in not being able to meet payroll, or pay rent and utilities) and therefore this is a source of free content. The newspaper does not pay the bloggers, who are not like regular columnists because a different blogger is published every day. For most bloggers, it is simply not worth the effort to get paid for that one short blog post. Besides, the newspaper publishes the URL and that will bring in additional site traffic.
This also leads to the interest issue of what does an URL look like. For some blogs like this one, it is easy. For other blogs, it may look something like:

//hk.myblog.yahoo.com/jw!l7fuAPCVHBaLYk4bwJTMqqJuHBjvUFrY/article?mid=13&prev=-1&next=12解剖與否﹖

Ouch! Are you going to read the newspaper column and type this URL into your browser one letter at a time? What is the likelihood of making an error? Well, go blame the blog service provider!

The 占占字起 blogger does not mind, and only hopes that the newspaper can pay back the entire blogging community by sponsoring activities or doing special features. You can read his blog post at: //mrjimtong.mysinablog.com/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=226514

Citizen Journalism’s Many Forms
Chris Anderson at Columbia University looks at various kinds of citizen journalism. Part I, Part II.

July 31, 2006
".... "Actually Existing" Citizen Journalism Projects and Typologies: Part I

.......
I. The "personal" homepage.

The very first example of anything remotely approaching "citizen's journalism" that I can remember. Having started college in the mid-1990's, the technologically advanced amongst us soon had our own "homepages,"
.....

II. Indymedia

People often forget that Indymedia emerged in 1999-- which, while only 7 years ago, is a generation when it comes to digital media forms (blogs, for instance, can be said to be about 3 or 4 years old, at least in their current form).
...........

III. Blogs

This is where many histories of citizen journalism start, with the emergence of the "blogging" movement, whose biggest growth occurred roughly between the attack on the World Trade Center and the 2004 U.S. Presidential election. Once again, we see the combination of a new technology-- widely available, commercially produced blogging software-- and a political moment-- post 9/11 turmoil creating a new media form.

Blogging would become a shorthand term for much of the grassroots media and journalism work that has occurred since 2002, and as such, the term has become confused almost to the point of uselessness. At the same time, however, we must acknowledge that the notion of blogging "as journalism" has gained a cultural acceptance that has so far eluded previous digital media forms, like Indymedia, or successive media forms, like hyperlocal citizens media. Why might this be? Several explanations spring to mind: first, as already noted, blogs posed much less of an existential threat to traditional journalism than either Indymedia or hyper-local journalism; second, popular blogs fell within the range of normal American political discourse, and, relatedly, bloggers were often seen as a rational and semi-respectable breed (and included some notable current and former journalists in their ranks); and, finally, there was a surge in the sheer number of blogs out there, a surge that was difficult to ignore.

In general, we can note three previous media forms that would intersect with and help create the blogging movement: the 'zine subculture; a largely de-radicalized variation of Indymedia "citizens reporting" practices; and a form of punditry / commentary. The majority of blogs, as the much-discussed recent Pew Survey notes, resemble zines in their personal focus and small readership. At the same time, many of the most popular and referenced blogs practice punditry or political organizing. The second stream, so-called "citizens reporting" seems to have taken a winding journey from the world of small-scale, hyper-local journalism to the world of networked journalism.

Part II.

August 01, 2006

"..."Actually Existing" Citizen Journalism Projects and Typologies: Part II

......
IV. Hyperlocal Citizens Journalism

Let me start by saying that it wasn't very long before the deep thinkers in the blogging world, fueled on by questions like, "is blogging journalism?" began to realize the dearth of original reporting in the blog world. It wasn't entirely non-existent, of course. But the basic criticism-- that politically inclined blogs were too derivative of the "MSM," too focused on commentary and analysis, to ever replace the professionals-- hit home. 2004 and 2005 saw the emergence of something its supporters and practitioners were calling "hyperlocal citizens journalism," defined by Wikipedia as "online news sites [that] invite contributions from local residents of their subscription areas, who often report on topics that conventional newspapers tend to ignore."
........

V. Big Media Citizens Journalism

Now things start to get complicated, because when you see CNN starting up its own citizen's journalism web site called CNN Exchange )where they write ""CNN Exchange invites YOU to connect with the news: Share your stories, your pictures, your videos wherever you see the I-Report logo") you know things have gone beyond the old battlefield of blogger versus journalist. In other words, CNN-- and most other major media outlets-- have finally embraced the fact that we live in a Web 2.0 world, that you can make money of "user-generated" content (or at least attract those ever-harder-to-attract eyeballs), and, perhaps most importantly, you can tie user generated content into reductions of newsroom staff.
...................

VI. Networked Journalism

At this point, we get to where Jay Rosen, Josh Marshall, Chris Albritton, and others have left us: the notion of the new journalism as a collaborative event that unites the former audience and professionals.
.........


So, to conclude: we've looked at 6 forms of actually existing Ctiziens Journalism-

Personal homepages
Indymedia
Blogs
Hyperlocal Journalism
Big Media Citizens Journalism
Networked Journalism

They're not mutually exclusive. Many will exist side by side, and in some ways, thats the most interesting part of the whole thing.

Blogging vs Traditional Media - This time its personal
May 14, 2006 ไปที่ .... //www.blogmaverick.com/entry/1234000500073690/

ย้ายข้อความจากคอมเมนท์ที่ชำรุด ----

--Quote--

"A blog is media. Its a platform to communicate that can reach anyone within reach of an internet connection. Ive been writing this blog for more than 2 years and that time has allowed me to recognize the difference between a blog and traditional media and why the two will never successfully meet.

In traditional media, you are first defined by your medium. There is some constraint to the physical or digital definition of the medium the content is delivered on or by, that for the most part determines how you are perceived.

There is a cost vs time vs interest vs access series of constraints that determines who your audience is, how you reach them and what they expect of you. Over time, that has evolved our media into very defined roles.

Blogs are different. There really isnt a cost constraint. It costs nothing to create a blog. There are time constraints, but less so than traditional media. Bloggers dont have to publish or show on a schedule. In a nutshell, blogging is personal. Which is really where the paths of blogging and traditonal media diverge. Traditional media has become almost exclusively corporate while blogging remains almost exclusively personal

There in lies the rub. Sure there are bloggers that want to make money from their blogs. Yes there are blogging networks that are corporations that want to make money. They are the infintisimal minority. 99pct of blogs are about what someone has to say. 99 pct of traditional media is about making money. Which is exactly what leads to the resentment between bloggers and traditional media and why blogging on traditional media websites will find it tough to be successful.

I can write about anything. I can write opinion. I can report facts. I can ask questions. I can jump from topic to topic to topic. Sports, the NBA, business, personal experiences, technology, movies, entertainment, hdtv, whatever I want to write about. One minute Im a reporter, communicating what happened and where, the next Im an opinion columnist. The next Im op-ed, punching or counter punching someone in traditional media, just to see if they can take a punch as well as they can throw one. its all up to me and its fun.My blog is just that. Mine.

Traditional media members cant do any of the above. They get hired for a specific job and they have to do that job. They get hired by a corporation that is most likely public, which means their senior management , the people they ultimately report to, have to put getting the stock price up above all else. That is really what blogging vs traditional media in 2006 has come down to. Bloggers drive blogs, share price drives traditional media. Blogging is personal, traditional media is corporate.

Which is exactly why blog readership is going up, while traditional media is consolidating, if not contracting. Traditional media goes to work, bloggers live their work. "

Quality Control: Q&A with John Battelle, Web content visionary

By Sarah Colombo
Posted: 2006-10-12

"[Online journalism] is much more like performance art. I would compare the skill set [with that of] a radio talk show host. They talk to each other, they interview people and they take calls, and 50 percent of the callers are regular commentators. We as audience participants love to listen to the conversation. Blogs in particular have that same kind of conversation. On Searchblog, there are three to four times more comments than there are posts from me, and I would say that of the 10,000 comments on the site, probably 50 to 100 people are responsible for 8,000 of them."

The editor of Business 2.0 is asking every journalist at his magazine to create a blog. And in a possible first for a major publisher, the participating bloggers at the Time Inc. title will be paid based on their traffic.

Josh Quittner: 'Everybody Wants to Be a Blogger'
ที่เวปไซต์ iwantmedia.com | posted By Patrick Phillips | I Want Media, 10/13/06

I Want Media: Is a blog boom coming to Business 2.0?

Josh Quittner: I've asked all of my journalists to create a blog. It's an experiment in response to a lot of thinking I've been doing about Om Malik and the great success we had with him while he was on staff full time.

I loved the daily interactions he was having with his community of readers. It made him sharper and more valuable to me at the magazine. And so I thought, how can we encourage our people to do a similar thing?

I went to my people and said, I want you all to start blogs. The only requirement is that the blog has some kind of a connection to business. Erick Schonfeld will continue to run our current blog, called B2Day, as his personal blog. We're going to launch a "super blog" that will serve as an umbrella for the 18 to 20 people who will blog for us.


(..........................................MORE...............>>

IWM: When will your "super blog" launch?

IWM: What are some of the subjects of the individual blogs?

IWM: Everyone wants to be a blogger?

IWM: Are you offering staffers any incentives to blog?

IWM: Why is it necessary to make this move into blogging?

IWM: Aren't you essentially asking your people to do more work?

IWM: Would this blogging model make sense for other magazines like, say, Sports Illustrated?

Did the death of journalism just take another step? Posted by David Berlind @ 1:42 pm


Today, via Dave Winer, I see that Business 2.0 is asking all of its journalists to create a blog.

I'm routinely asked to participate in panel discussions regarding the media landscape — a conversation that invariably ends up predicting the impact of blogging on established media or journalism. If you've been to one of these, then you'll know that one of my predictions is that most full-time journalists will be left with no choice but to start blogging if they haven't already. From there, I don't predict the death of journalism. Just journalists. To many of them, being asked or told to blog will be like hearing someone screaming above the foam "Come on in, the water is fine!" It isn't until after the barrell they're in has been tossed over the rail into the Niagara Falls that they'll realize how not everyone survives the white water.

Business weekly shifts towards Web | Editorsweblog.org, Posted by John Burke on Thursday, October 19, 2006.

"The American Business Week, a publication already known for its digital innovations being one of the first to post reader comments under articles, is focusing even more on the Web. The world's largest business magazine published 46% of its exclusive material on the Web this year, a jump of 13% from the 2005.

The increase in content is reflected by a rise in readership to 7.1 million unique visitors and 50 million page views, and online ad revenue, up 61% and which now composes 13% of all ad income.

Said Stephen Adler, the weekly's e-i-c who earned his job by stressing the importance of online, "There is no question people need reliable and accurate business information. I want BusinessWeek to be in a position not to care too much if they want it in print, online or on mobile devices."

The History of Blogging (10/24/2006) | zonaeuropa.com | EastSouthWestNorth

" In the history of blogging in mainland China, there is a characterization of three generations so far:

Generation #1: The first people who knew how to blog and maximize the technical capabilities were people involved in Information Technology (IT). Thus, the first generation of bloggers were those who tried to preach the technology of blogging.

Generation #2: Once the gospel of blogging technology becomes simplified and widespread, the next issue is content. What good is a technology if there is no content? So the second generation of mainland Chinese bloggers turned out to be media workers. Why? Because these are the people who knew their topics (both the backgrounds as well as the latest developments) and the writing techniques. For the same story, they can say and argue it better than most others.

Generation #3: Once blogging achieved a certain momentum threshold, the major portals (such as Sina.com and Sohu.com) decided that they can be blog service providers too and invited a number of celebrities to become their bloggers. This initiated the age of celebrity bloggers, and Xu Jinglei and others would top the Technorait popularity list for the entire planet.

What is Generation #4 in China? I wouldn't know (or else I would be a prophet). "

" I think it's going to be difficult for newspapers to do blogs right because their DNA continues to be trapped in the "we talk, you listen" mode. Fundamentally, staff-written blogs are nothing different than what newspapers do now -- simply spilling more of the same voices onto the public streets.
Sure, staff-written blogs have a fragile patina of interactively because some accept comments. Scuffing off that patina doesn't take much.

1) Under the best case, newspaper blog comments are enfeebled interactivity. Only fractional percentages of readers comment on staff-written blogs. Maybe the public has simply given up on the idea of newspapers listening or caring. Consider the case of the Guardian's staff blogs. The Guardian is one of the best online newspapers in the world and its commitment to the staff blog borders on the fanatical. They throw substantial resources at it. And yet, if you look closely at the number of comments per post (realize in many cases comments are more than a week old) and then you consider the total traffic on the site, you must conclude that the supposed interactivity of the Guardian's blogs has failed utterly. I mean we're talking less that 1/10 of one percent of all readers who are moved to comment! (FYI, I did a quick study of this last fall because the Guardian folks had a hissy over my post attacking the concept of staff blogs.)

2) Even if you get a few comments, the moment they turn hostile to the newspaper, suddenly the commitment to interactivity wavers. It's happened a number of times. And indeed, the Hiltzik incident specifically highlights this. Today's newspapers are sufficiently thin-skinned that the idea that people might use comments to attack the writers doesn't go down well. So you either stop comments, or you remove the accounts of critics, or -- as in the case of Hiltzik -- you create deceptive online personas to respond to the attacks. It's the "we talk, you listen" attitude taken to the extreme: Even if the public talks back, the media requires the last word! It's a fatal appetite on the part of the modern newspaper. Some sociologists have pointed out that modern America can exert power on the global stage, but it no longer exerts authority (for authority comes from the nexus of wisdom, restraint, morality and cleaving to higher purposes). Newspapers are in a similar boat -- they're still powerful institutions but their authority is in shambles. OK, let's get this straight: So we let the public speak and when a tiny number do we come rushing in with fake personas to defend the paper against attacks. We never let anyone else get the last word. That's wrong and it's stupid and it's going to kill papers. Instead of stifling criticism, newspapers should embrace it and learn from it and grow wise.

(Incidentally, The fact that the LA Times perceives the Hiltzik's actions as a violation of ethics is a *very* good thing. One of the dirty little secrets of newspaper blogs is that many, many of the comments come from unidentified staff members. I applaud the LAT for this move. It's high time to stop this deplorable practice.)

So if newspapers blogs are not *really* about interacting with the community -- and I challenge anyone to demonstrate they've been successful at that goal -- what makes them different? They just offer the same voices you read all the time.

This is *exactly* what my beef with staff blogs is about and why I've been trying to get newspapers to change the approach. Jon Stewart put it nicely when he said mainstream media blogs "give voice to the already voiced."

Look, it's easy to get this right: don't have staff members blog and instead bring in the legitimate outside voices. There are many ways that a mainstream media organization can do this -- make a blog about *outside* blogs, point some of your traffic to outside voices (even those who, gasp, criticize you!), invite some of the best outside bloggers in your community to post right on your pages. Give selected bloggers early access to your stories -- particularly enterprise stories -- so that they can have same-day reactions. (Make sure these are bloggers you can trust not to jump the publication, obviously.) In other words, genuinely and sincerely embrace *outside* voices. Allow the community to have a stake in what you are doing once more.

As stand it stands right now, newspapers keep shouting louder in a room that, increasingly, is emptying around us. Maybe, before the last reader departs we can convince people to stay by letting them know we want to talk *with* our community, not *at* them. "

Free Press: Don't Trust the Media
Petoskey News-Review, March 12, 2008
By Christina Rohn

The message from Jeff Cohen's lecture Tuesday at North Central Michigan College was clear — "You can't trust the big corporate media."

Cohen, who in 1986 founded Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), a national media watch group that documents media bias and censorship, talked to a crowd of about 375 in NCMC's Student Center Cafeteria about what he called his "misadventures" in the mass media.

Throughout his broadcast journalism career, Cohen worked for CNN, Fox News and MSNBC, and likened his rise and fall in broadcasting to the story Alice In Wonderland.

"Alice fell into a rabbit hole and I fell into the muck of 24/7 news," he said.

Cohen explained to audience members that, because of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, large entertainment companies such as Time Warner, Viacom and Disney have been able to take over many of the country's news outlets, therefore inserting their own code of ethics and bias into the national news.

He said that true journalism has been blocked by these corporations because they are protecting their special interests, and as a result, instead of hearing about the important world issues, the public is saturated with news about "Britney Spears and her sister."

"When big news is blocked, trivia falls into the vacuum," Cohen said. "When journalists are too busy waving flags, they're too busy to do their job, which is ask the tough questions."

Cohen said his broadcasting career came to an end just before the United States invaded Iraq. At the time he was a senior producer for the hit MSNBC show Donahue, and says he believes the network terminated the show because it was doing its journalistic duty.

"Donahue was terminated on the eve of the Iraq invasion — how often does a channel kill its most watched program?" he said. "Those of us who challenged invading Iraq, and those of us who acted skeptical, for the most part, we've been banned from the media."

Cohen said a majority of the media personalities who were wrong about the invasion of Iraq have been promoted within the industry. As a result, he says he believes the news media can be summed up in one word — kakistocracy.

"It means ruled by the worst," he said.

Cohen said he believes the American public is extremely misinformed.

"The power is at the top, and in our country there's a huge gap between knowledge versus income," he said. "I don't think it's a mystery that the American public is so misinformed — I've made the argument that it's somewhat by design."

Dolly Hunt, a Lake Superior State University transfer student to NCMC, who considers herself an independent, said she agrees with Cohen's assessment of the media.

"I think that people are blindsided by the media — they have a false sense of consciousness," she said. "Our entire social world is controlled by the power elite, and I fear for the young people because, in conversation with them, they don't see it."

As Cohen ended his lecture, he did so on a positive note, pointing out that independent journalists are on the rise, attempting to counteract the corporate media's bias.

"The good news is that the independent media in our country is booming thanks to the Internet — it's the failures of corporate media that has led millions of independent journalists to start asking questions," he said. "It's an exciting time, but we have to keep the Internet safe from media conglomerates."

Steve Keller of Cross Village, who considers himself a conservative, said he was surprised by how Cohen came across in the lecture.

"He was more fair-minded and a little less radical than I thought he'd be," he said. "Of course I don't agree with most of his political viewpoints, but his views about the media I agree with."

Keller said he believed Cohen's lecture could have focused more on a solution to the problem than the problem itself.

"I thought it was surprising that he didn't get around to his solution, which was publicly funded television and the Internet, until the Q-and-A portion," he said. "It (the lecture) was fairly negative and pessimistic, as opposed to finding a solution."

NCMC student Nicole Oliver said she was inspired by the lecture and hopes others were as well.

"If the entire society as a whole decides not to stand for corporatized media, then it will be a peoples' media revolution, but if we sit still and silent, it's going to continue," she said.

Oliver said because of the large turnout at the lecture, she is hopeful that things will change.

"During the last lecture we had around 20 to 25 people, and this time we had standing room only," she said. "I'm really excited a lot of people took an interest, and I'm optimistic about change happening."

เกมนี้อ่านกันขาด ตั้งแต่ จำลองคิดจะออกมาให้โดนจับ

ในขณะที่มุกฝ่ายเผด็จการในทำเนียบฯ ที่จะใช้เป็นข้ออ้างในการประท้วง กำลังจะฝ่อลง
จำลองประกาศชัดเจนที่จะออกไปนอกทำเนียบ เพื่อให้ถูกจับและไม่ยอมประกันตัว เหตุอันเนื่องมาจากนาย ไชยวัฒน์ สินสุวงศ์ แกนนำม็อบคนหนึ่ง ถูกจับไปก่อนหน้านี้

เย็นวันที่ 6ตุลาคม 2551 นั้นเอง นักรบสวมกระโปงบวกกับนักรบใบกระท่อม ก็เคลื่อนพลมาปิดสภาผู้แทนราษฎรทันที โดยการนำของนายพลท่านหนึ่งของกองทัพไทย ด้วยวางกลศึกด้วยชีวิตของมนุษย์เป็นเดิมพัน ข่าวออกทุกชั่วโมง เป็นทีตระหนกของเราฝ่ายประชาธิปไตย

นักรบไซเบอร์ ยิ่งทวีความรุนแรงในการเสนอข่าว ทุกเว็บไซด์เนืองแน่นไปด้วยผู้คนทั้งในและต่างประเทศ ออกมาแสดงความคิดเห็นในเชิง ด่าทอผู้ที่อยู่เบื้องหลังการกระทำในครั้งนี้

ส่วนของผู้ปฏิบัติงานและรัฐบาลไม่ทราบว่าตัดสินใจอย่างไร แผนที่ฝ่ายม็อบวางไว้ก็ได้บัลลุผลที่พวกเขาสมประสงค์ทุกประการ คือมีคนเจ็บ คนเสียชีวิต และพิการ เกลื่อนถนนไปหมด ทั้งสองฝั่ง
เมื่อ มีการประทะกันและต่อสู้กันขึ้นหลายละลอก ระหว่างเจ้าหน้าที่กับนักรบของม็อบพันธมิตร ในวันรุ่งขึ้นตั้งแต่ เช้าจรดเย็น

เหมือนชัยชนะกำลังคืบคลานมาสู่ม็อบและผู้นำม็อบ
เมื่อ ฝ่ายค้านในสภาฯ สว.ลากตั้ง ออกมาเล่นบทประณามรัฐบาลในทันที สื่อทุกสื่อประโคมข่าวอย่างเมามัน ถึงการกระทำอันป่าเถื่อน ครั้งนี้ องค์กรต่างๆ นักวิชาการ ที่ดูเหมือนว่าได้เตรียมร่างแถลงการณ์ไว้ล่วงหน้าแล้ว รีบลุกลี้ลุกลนออกมาแถลงการณ์ในทันที “รัฐบาลต้องรับผิดชอบด้วยการยุบสภาฯ”
ผู้นำม็อบเอง เมื่อเห็นว่ามีคนตาย ดั่งใจหวัง อดใจไม่อยู่ ขึ้นสารภาพกับผู้ร่วมชุมนุม ในทันที “ไม่เกิน6โมงเย็นวันนี้ เราได้รับชัยชนะอย่างแน่นอน รัฐบาลต้องยุบสภา”

แต่..เหตุการณ์เหล่านั้นก็ถูกนักรบไซเบอร์ หักล้างโดยสิ้นเชิง
เมื่อมีการนำภาพในเหตุการณ์ที่เกิดขึ้นจริง เข้ามาโพสท์แสดงกันไปทั่วทุกเว็บไซด์ พร้องส่งลิงค์กันไปให้เห็นทุกช่องทาง บางคนก็มีข้อมูลมาบรรยาย บางคนอัดวีดีโอจากทีวีมาจับผิดกัน และนำภาพที่จับผิดกันได้ ออกมาเผยแพร่อย่างต่อเนื่อง

ภาพจึงปรากฏออกสู่ธารณะอย่างรวดเร็ว จนถึงขนาดบนเวทีพันธมิตรเองยังต้องเอาข้อมูลในเว็บไซด์เหล่านี้ออกมาแก้ตัว ว่าไม่เป็นความจริงหรือเอามาอธิบายภาพกันเลย นาทีต่อนาที ชั่วโมงต่อชั่วโมง

การรบจึงยังไม่ยุติ กลายเป็นสงครามปากและน้ำลาย เข้ามาแทนที่ ใครทำ ใครผิด นี่คือข้อกังขาใหม่

“การเมืองใหม่” ที่ได้เตรียมสถาปนาโดยแกนนำพันธมิตรฯและแนวร่วมบางส่วนในกองทัพ จึงยังไม่เกิดขึ้น โมเดลที่ผู้ใหญ่ที่อยู่เบื้องหลัง ยืนยันว่าได้จัดเตรียมคณะผู้บริหารบ้านเมืองไว้แล้วจึงมิอาจปรากฏให้เป็นจริงได้ เพราะปัจจัยที่ชนะจริงๆอย่างเด็ดขาดของม็อบพันธมิตรก็คือ ทหาร

-และพลันที่ฝุ่นจางลง ก็ปรากฏร่าง พล.อ.อนุพงษ์ เผ่าจินดา ยืนเคียงข้างท่านนายกสมชาย
-และสิ่งที่ถูกแอบอ้างว่าเบื้องสูงอยู่ฝ่ายตนของม็อบ ก็ได้ถูกออกมาปฏิเสธฯอย่างตรงไปตรงมาเป็นครั้งแรก โดยที่ไม่ต้องแปล

สองเหตุผลนี้ คือความพ่ายแพ้อีกครั้งของม็อบ ที่ไม่รู้ว่าครั้งที่เท่าไรแล้ว

ผมไม่ทราบว่า ทำไม มีเหตุผลอะไรที่ทำให้ ทหารไม่กล้าออกมาช่วยม็อบพันธมิตรอย่างออกหน้าออกตาในวันนั้นถ้าได้ดูเอเอสทีวี จะเห็นการโห่ร้องต้อนรับทหาร การสรรเสริญเยินยอ ท่านผู้บัญชาการทหารบก อย่างออกหน้าออกตาในวันนั้น ทั้งที่บนเวทีม็อบก็ประกาศอย่างชัดเจน “ทหารอยู่ข้างเราครับพ่อแม่พี่น้อง”

ลึกๆผมแอบคิดไม่ได้ว่า ชัยชนะของฝ่ายประชาธิปไตยในครั้งนี้ส่วนหนึ่งก็มาจากพวกเราอีกเช่นเคย ที่ไม่มีสื่อที่ไหนเผยแพร่ออกไปได้
สื่อที่ออกไป ทำให้ใครบางคนได้เห็น ให้ทหารให้เห็น และให้คนที่มีอำนาจตัดสินใจจริงๆได้เห็น และตัดสินใจระงับการ ช่วยเหลือม็อบในครั้งนี้ในที่สุด

ขอบคุณและขอบคุณทุกท่าน ครับ เป็นอีกครั้งที่นักรบไซเบอร์ ได้ช่วยให้ “เผด็จการฝ่อ เผด็จศึกไม่สำเร็จ”

ผมปรบมือให้คุณและเพื่อนๆ เราปรบมือให้เรา เพราะเราก็มีกันอยู่แค่นี้ครับ ให้กำลังใจกันเท่าที่ทำได้
