Dave Winer heads to NYU – Year Zero for Journalism

There is certainly an enormous amount of energy being applied to “reinventing Journalism” – both the trade and the business – for the digital age.

Case in point, Dave Winer announced on January 14 2010 that he just accepted a Visting Scholar position at NYU, working under Jay Rosen.

Quoting Winer in his blog post from January 14th:

I have the same feeling about journalism today that I had about computer science in the 1970s. … Today, 2010, is Year Zero for journalism the way 1970 was the dawn of modern computer science.

He may be right.

Here’s the same announcement from Jay Rosen.

Of course, this isn’t the first time Rosen and Winer have collaborated. Check out their weekly podcast Rebooting the News.
