Journalists are collecting and processing data and information. But what is the difference between data, information and knowledge? The simplest explanation involves an analogy. Consider the data as raw materials for journalists. The data are like apples from a tree. There are tons and is easy to count. The data are transformed into information when people use their hands and brain to process the apples into something useful: An apple pie, caramel apple ... But as information is processed, it becomes more abundant. In fact, the media continue convincing people that the product information is plentiful because they seem happy to give it away. [...] For centuries, writers have built a community blanket of understanding that explain the world to their audiences. In a world of scarce information, the journalist performs a vital service to the community to acquire and transmit data in recent [...]. But with the rise of information, the role of the journalist hunter-gatherer is outdated. Society needs professionals that make the information manageable. In a world that has more information than it can process, journalists doing important work [...]. They help us filter information without manipulated in either direction [...]. He believes the challenge for journalists implies a willingness to share information, manage it seriously and turn it into knowledge. QUINN, Stephen. Preparing for change in newsrooms of tomorrow.

    If we identify the data blocks, the information would prove such knowledge apple and prepare it or cook it.

    Well, the funny thing is that this text was used knowledge management referring to the journalists, if we changed documentary journalist could see the likeness between the two models. Journalists manage information, the documentary also.

    This mini-post was more a curiosity than anything else.

    On the credibility they may have or not journalists, well, I beat pulse.

    I like and agree on needs and opportunities. but marked differences in function and cover both professions pigeonholed synergies now essential.
    is not to replace but to multiply and understood between documentary and journalists, and many others.
    joint force is essential in the new scenario that you treat the blog regularly.
    with all respect and appreciation for the clear position defended
