Dan Gillmor has launched the meme he’s been gestating:

Journalism is evolving away from its lecture mode — here’s the news, and you buy it or you don’t — to include a conversation. ..

it boils down to something simple: our readers collectively know more than we do, and they don’t have to settle for half-baked coverage when they can come into the kitchen themselves. This is not a threat. It is an opportunity. And the evolution of We Media will oblige us all to adapt.

Of course, Dan being Dan and the Web being the Web, he’s been gestating it in public. Nevertheless, the appearance of “We Media” in the prestigious Columbia Journalism Review is a marker worth celebrating.
