The fourth Power is born like journalists' society

The Fourth Power has just been born. A new way founded by professionals of expert journey, a the majority of them friends and ex-partners. One of the new alternatives that many journalists appear opposite to the crisis of the traditional means and of the professional journalism.
The fourth Power is born basically like a network of blogs where Francisco Frechoso, Juan Carlos Escudier, Pedro Alzaga, Luis Díez, Mónica Prieto, Raimundo Castro and others will be shelling the actuality with the intention of doing a journalism participativo, ethically and independently, as tells Paco Frechoso in the presentation post.
His models are places like Huffington Post or Politician, new means that in the last years have grown like few ones thanks to a new way of doing, of distributing and of promoting the information.
Nevertheless, the distances between The Huffington Post, a network of blogs, agregador of foreign contents and with participation of many famous persons of star system North American, and Politician, a specializing media of political information with a forceful bet for the contents for politicians, lobbies, and other news junkies, supported in a profitable edition role, with the Fourth Power are enormous.
For the time being the fourth power appears more like a new way resulted from a professional society of editors that tries to exploit new business models with minor need for income, a small writing and largely without exclusivity constructed on platforms and cheap technology (Wordpress) and without the flagstone of having to return big benefits to his shareholders.
The fourth Power is another example of new means that every time we will see. Result of a moment in that the big means are more and more difficult of supporting for his needs for structure and the descent of the profitability of the professional journalism.
The luck of the Fourth Power will depend largely on the quality and attraction of his authors. As all the personal means, his information is based more on the journalist like mark and his information that in structure of production and information processing how of which the professional writings are capable.
For the time being they are much removed also from new structures like the means like social network, but many of them have sources and sufficient aptitude to be able to advance in this strategy.
Luck.
