News flow

A proper information model matters because it allows through the important trends it distinguishes to provide a stable structure, an set of affordances on which one can add at a fast pace (hopefully in real-time or ideally to prepare even before they are acquired) and thus truly leverage news.

Reclaim the news

News is a process, not a product. One can never passively receive a flow of news but rather will always have to find, select, organize, put in perspective and analyze information.

Proposition

• use "modern" tools to build your own flow of information
• list topics with activity today
  • classify topic by activity, ...
• subscribe to a topic
  1. follow it day after day
  2. see related topics
  3. provide a visualization that displays "impact" news

Repeat periodically.

• consider my own process regarding the Fukushima incident of March 2011
  • locating a viable source of new through Twitter
    • http://mitnse.com
      • considering directly using their source (TEPCO) but with supported with additional information (e.g. via Wikipedia or an equivalent of the domain, more specific than Scholarpedia) since it requires some domain expertise
    • taking into account the interest of the involved parties
      • e.g. AREVA and other economical partners of the nuclear industry, political parties leveraging the event as promotion tool always coherent with their ideology
  • to compare with my recent discussion with Thierry regarding politics and the potential decreasing signal/noise ratio as elections approach
    • cf VotingIsALearningProcess
  • to generalize taking into consideration PriorityByEconomicalSystem and Needs
    • if those needs are so important (prioritization should be applied too) then some resource and thus time should be dedicated to it
    • it could result in a systematized OwnConcepts#Epistemotaxis process
