A-list blogger, Jeff Jarvis of Buzzmachine fame, has been named director of the new-media program and associate professor of journalism at City University of New York, according to The New York Times.
Mr. Jarvis said that the media could achieve greater transparency by using blogs, podcasts and online video. “I want students to explore the relationship of the media with the public,” he said.
New media, he said, breaks down the economic model of the business he has worked in all these years. “This is really the first time since William Randolph Hearst that a young journalist can think like an entrepreneur,” Mr. Jarvis said.
