Is Liquid Newsroom's Radical Openness the Future of Collaborative Journalism?

As a journalist, it isn’t enough to just write good articles anymore – you have to be active on Twitter, verify sources on Facebook, and be open to collaboration with your competitors. The social web is changing the practice of journalism. Liquid Newsroom, a startup initiated by German web applications director Steffen Konrath, embraces the increasingly social and open elements of new journalism by emphasizing content curation rather than creation, openness rather than guardedness, and news organizations that are fluid across physical and virtual borders.
