Leigh Montgomery is Librarian at The Christian Science Monitor. If you know me, you know I respect librarians and believe they have some practical and visionary ideas about information. These ideas are vital to the future of news. Here is just a snippet of what Leigh wrote in a JTM (journalism that matters) post, “…factchecked, objective, high quality information is very valuable. As the workforce becomes leaner and has to be more productive, they will be accessing the information to do their jobs in commercial databases – or in online communities with other trusted users. The aforementioned have been used for years – and they require licensing, training, and subscriptions. As more of the news is covered in blogs and other new media formats – these need to be structured, keyworded, and aggregated. And resold.”
