In 1979, Gilda Radner threw a summer-long party at Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre. Share the fun as Gilda's Saturday Night Live alter-egos take on new comedy material not even the Not Ready for Prime Time Players were quite ready for. Among the many highlights: Emily Litella substituting for a Bedford-Stuyvesant teacher who's been the unfortunate victim of a "stubbing". Lisa Hoopner whining through "The Way We Were". Roseanne Roseannadanna grossing out grads at the Columbia School of Journalism. And joining in for even more hip happiness are several of Gilda's SNL cohorts. Paul Schaffer (Late Night with David Letterman) plays straight man and plays up a musical storm. Father Guido Sarducci (Don Novello), rock critic and gossip columnist for the Vatican's L'Osservatore Romano, reveals the astonishing "Kennedy/Lincoln Coincidenza" and poses a new model for higher education: the five-minute university.

More info: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/263896 Citizen media has impacted every corner of the world, as user-generated news has flourished in North America, Europe, and the Middle East. In this special Digital Journal TV episode, we look at how citizen journalism is shaping the future of news media. This year saw a lot of change in the media landscape: newspaper ad revenue is plummeting, some companies are declaring bankruptcy and more online projects are grabbing a piece of the digital-ad revenue pie. Throughout 2008, a burgeoning trend has inspired a legion of individuals committed to under-reported stories. Citizen media allows everyday people to write about their communities, about issues that matter to them. It's been a good year for citizen media. For instance, citizen journalists gave the world a look into the Mumbai attacks, while also probing into the politicians behind the Obama-McCain presidential race. Readers were also treated to new online initiatives, such as the U.S. site Spot.us (allowing people to sponsor stories pitched by citizen journalists) to Al Jazeera's Arab-language citizen media site. On DigitalJournal.com, where citizen journalists are paid to report news, growth has been amazing; the site now boasts a stable of more than 10,000 people reporting from 140 different countries around the world. DigitalJournal.com's reporters and members also represent a unique demographic, ranging from 15-year-olds to men and women in their 80s. When it comes to content, DigitalJournal.com has been a busy news network, with more than 72,000 news reports published; almost 300,000 comments from readers and members; and more than 30,000 images and photos have been uploaded. DigitalJournal.com also includes a "Vote It Up" button on the bottom of every article, blog and image that gives readers the power to decide what is newsworthy. The site automatically counts all the votes and the whole front page of DigitalJournal.com shows readers what other people want to see rather than what news editors want to show. We've seen more than half a million votes on DigitalJournal.com content, helping shape how the world consumes news. Many mainstream media outlets are also joining the fray. Practically every major outlet has a citizen media channel in some form (or their interested in getting into the action) whether it's CNN or Canada's CTV or CityNews. Print publications also see potential in allowing their readers to contribute directly to the paper's editorial. Does this mean citizen journalism will continue to complement the major players in the press? If you have ever wanted to learn more about citizen media's influence and its direction in the future, then this episode of Digital Journal TV is a must-see. Check it out and let us know how citizen journalism has changed your life.

A debate with Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales and author Andrew Keen. In today's self-broadcasting culture, where amateurism is celebrated and anyone with an opinion can post a video on YouTube, change an entry on Wikipedia or publish reviews on Yelp, we increasingly turn to the collective intelligence of large numbers of people. Should we rely on the "wisdom of the crowds," trusting that they are smarter than the expert few? Or is Web 2.0 weakening traditional media to the point where we only have opinion and chaos? - The Commonwealth Club of California Jimmy Donal "Jimbo" Wales (born August 7, 1966 in Huntsville, Alabama) is the founder, board member and Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit corporation that operates the Wikipedia project, and several other wiki projects, including Wiktionary and Wikinews.
