"Hunter-gatherer journalism is no longer sufficient"

Romanesko discovers a truth about journalism that is already being played out on the Web:

"Now that information is so plentiful, we don't need new information so much as help in processing what's already available," writes Philip Meyer, author of "The Vanishing Newspaper."

Web edtiors have known this for a long time. The jobs we are hiring for in Web journalism are centered on organizing, editing and curating content -- not so much on gathering it.
