The podcast rethinks the role of the journalist and the best way to cover the news. Winer and Rosen took questions and statements about the current state of the industry.<\/p>\n<p>An audience member asked how to reboot the coverage of midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>Rosen elaborated on a model he calls the citizen\u2019s agenda for election coverage. Instead of focusing on the showmanship of elections and reporting only results and events to do with the races, Rosen suggested that journalists find what citizens want the candidates to be discussing and use that as a template for coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Someone in the room asked how to build trust with a source or audience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s easier to trust a news producer saying here\u2019s where I\u2019m coming from then out of nowhere,\u201d Rosen said.<\/p>\n<p>In journalism today, Rosen said there is no complete objectivity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can you stop a newscast to say, \u2018By the way, I voted democrat,\u201d Winer said.<\/p>\n<p>The Web allows for a space for the reporter to give his or her background. Rosen suggested journalists link their bylines to another site that includes background and personal views on the nuances of a subject.<\/p>\n<p>Winer warned journalists to avoid getting carried away with new technology, which he said is not the future of the industry. Winer\u2019s opinion is that news is stepping aside for technology, which Rosen said \u201cJournalism covers \u2026 like the messiah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwitter is the dress rehearsal for the new system of the future,\u201d Winer said. \u201cThere are already great real-time systems without the \u2018Fail Whale.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rosen said the way to reboot current practices is by offering context and background on a story before adding continuous updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The auditorium wasn\u2019t as packed as the previous session featuring Amy Webb\u2019s top tech trends, but from 12:45 to 1:45 p.m., audience members had the unique experience of participating in a live podcast.
