He identifies a key role for journalists in this process: \"Crowds need people who can catalyze the community, organize its work in granular form and put the pieces together when finished.\" And although he accepts that there are some journalists, maybe the majority, who will find it difficult to accept this new gatekeeping role, he is adamant: this is the future, whether they like it or not.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eTimes Higher Education\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a book which demands attention within the media industry and with all those interested in the development of society in a changing social era.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOrange Standard\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"For all our academic debates about what journalism should do to survive in the digital age, David Ryfe has done the invaluable research needed to have this discussion in the first place: he looked at what journalists do to make it work, and why.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMark Deuze, Indiana University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"David Ryfe has written an accessible and thoughtful book about US press journalism as it faces the drawn-out challenge of finding new business models in the face of the digital revolution.
