This blog post explores the idea of "Cognitive Surplus" as developed by Clay Shirky. Shirky's general theory is that the Internet could allow journalism "to be at its best, if it can find a way to support itself." He also refers to today as "the golden age of journalism, except for the money." This article provides an interesting take on journalism today: being optimistic about the industry itself while acknowledging the economic drawbacks.
