Jarvis's Press Sphere

I believe Jeff Jarvis's ideal of a press sphere is the news press talks about and everyone who contributes to it. In today's society that includes a large number of people and other things as many people are actively participating in critiquing and commenting on the news stories. He mentions many things such as witnesses, links, archives, and many other things that he includes in the press sphere. I think the main idea is that the news world is expanding and so is the role of everything outside the press. The press is not the sole proprietor of news anymore. Everyone can chip in and contribute their own opinions and ideals. Especially with the internet is news readily molded and changed. I like the point where he says a news story never ends anymore. Technically I do not think he is right, but I get what he is trying to say. There are always new angles, ideals, and stories that develop along the way. Like when we were discussing how the Iraq War started today, we commented on how why we were there changed many times as new info was obtained and intentions were revealed. Many news stories do not just have one article related to them anymore.

Even though I believe Jarvis has some good points in his blog post, I think he could of elaborated more. Some of the topics were not completely covered in full detail, and he could of organized everything a little bit better. He had too many charts and not enough explanation to a lot of things. You also have to think that it is a blog post, so he might not have meant to fully express every detail concisely. I think the topic needs to be explored more fully maybe by this press sphere.
