Journalism Redefined
journalist - Web developer - blogger
technology evangelist - community builder
Through the Pat Thornton Files you can find out about me, view my portfolio, contact me and read my blog about the state of journalism.
The Pat Thornton Files is home to the popular new media journalism / Web development blog, The Journalism Iconoclast. It provides news, commentary and advice on the industry. It also seeks to be a conversation.
New media, online journalism or whatever we choose to call it is where journalism is headed. People increasingly consume news online, especially my age group. It is our duty as journalists to deliver content to users in the forms they want.
Journalism has a bright future for all those who believe. There will always be stories to tell. We just have to find the right ways to tell those stories.
I am a big proponent of Web standards that are platform agnostic. This allows the biggest audience possible to join in. For Windows users, I recommend downloading one the most standards compliant browsers available, FireFox 2.
