Journalism and information source credibility

In these days I have moved the target of Ink On Screen from a literary point of view. Instead of considering novels and books, we are going to manage News and Articles. Smaller piece of information with complete different problematics.

One of the most important point involved is the monopoly of the information by the News Agencies and the complete lack of trust given to other sources.

In this field I am much more interested in the latest news from specialized blogger than those provided by some news agencies. In the last days I have read some articles on some books, and they were Wrong. Simply going to anyone of the blogs specialized in that specific book would have prevented those huge mistakes.

The problem is the credibility of those who are not journalists. We are therefore moving our primary target from the trustworthiness of book authors and reviewers to the same credibility management for a generic source of information.

The target? Get rid of the information monopoly by the News Agencies, creating a Social Website capable of creating an organic discriminant for the information credibility.

How does it sound?
