Retin A Mg

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Retin A Mg, on May 21, 2010.]

Should Facebook be regulated?: It's been almost a month since Facebook's expansion of Open Graph and Instant Personalization, and the concerns about the company's invasion of privacy continue to roll in. This week's appalling example of how much Facebook information is public comes courtesy of Openbook, a new site that uses Facebook's API to allow you to search all public Facebook updates. (Of course, you'll find similarly embarrassing revelations via a Twitter search, but the point is that many of these people don't know that what they're posting is public.)

We also got another anti-Facebook diatribe (two, Buy Retin A no prescription, actually) from a web luminary: Danah Boyd, the Microsoft researcher and social media expert. Boyd, who spends a lot of time talking to young people about social media, noted two observations in her first postMany users' mental model of who can see their information doesn't match up with reality, and people have invested so much time and resources into Facebook that they feel trapped by its changes. In the second post, Boyd proposes that if Facebook is going to refer to itself as a "social utility" (and it's becoming a utility like water, Retin A blogs, power or the Internet, she argues), then it needs to be ready to be regulated like other utilities.

The social media blog Mashable has chimed in with a couple of defenses of Facebook (the web is all about sharing informationFacebook has normalized sharing in a way that users want to embrace), but the din has reached Facebook's ears. The Wall Street Journal reported that the issue has prompted deep disagreements and several days of discussions at Facebook headquarters, What is Retin A, and a Facebook spokesman said the company is going to simplify privacy controls soon.

Meanwhile, tech investor and entrepreneur Chris Dixon posited that Facebook is going to use its web-wide Like button to corner the market on online display ads, similar to the way Google did with text ads, Retin A Mg. Facebook also launched 0.facebook.com, a simple mobile-only site that's free on some carriers, leading Poynter's Steve Myers to wonder if it's going to become the default mobile web for feature, or "dumb" phones. But The New York Times argued that when it comes to social data, Facebook still can't hold a candle to the good old-fashioned open web, australia, uk, us, usa.

Are iPad apps worth it?: The iPad's sales haven't slowed down yet — it's been projected to outsell the Mac, and one in five Americans say they might get one — but there are still conflicting opinions over how deeply publishers should get involved with it. Slate Group head Jacob Weisberg was the latest to weigh in, arguing that iPad apps won't help magazines and newspapers like they think it will. Retin A Mg, He makes a couple of arguments we've seen several times over the past month or two: App producers are entering an Apple-controlled marketplace that's been characterized by censorship, and apps are retrograde attempts to replicate the print experience.

"They're claustrophobic walled gardens within Apple's walled garden, Buy Retin A without a prescription,  lacking the basic functionality we now expect with electronic journalism: the opportunity to comment, the integration of social media, the ability to select text and paste it elsewhere, and finally the most basic function of all: links to other sources," Weisberg says. GQ magazine didn't get off to a particularly encouraging start with its iPad offerings, selling just 365 copies of its $2.99 Men of the Year iPad issue, real brand Retin A online.

A few other folks are saying that the iPad is ushering in fundamental changes in the way we consume personal media: At Ars Technica, Forrester analyst Sarah Rotman Epps notes that the iPad is radically different from what people say they want in a PC, but they're still more than willing to buy it because it makes complex computing simple. (The term Forrester is using to describe the tablet era, curated computing, Retin A description, seems like a stretch, though.) Norwegian digital journalist John Einar Sandvand offers a similar take, saying that tablets' distinctive convenience will further weaken print newspapers' position. And the Lab's Josh Benton says the iPad could have an effect on the way we write, too, Retin A Mg.

Slipping through the Times' and WSJ's paywalls: New York Times editor Bill Keller gave an update late last week on the plans for his paper's much-anticipated paywall — he didn't tell us anything new, unless you count the news that the wall will start in January 2011, rather than just "next year." But in reiterating the fact that he wasn't breaking any news, he gave Media Matters' Joe Strupp a bit of a clearer picture about how loose the Times' metered model will be: "Those who mainly come to the website via search engines or links from blogs, Retin A treatment, and those who only come sporadically -- in short, the bulk of our traffic -- may never be asked to pay at all," Keller wrote.

In the meantime, digital media consultant Mark Potts found another leaky paywall at The Wall Street Journal. Fast shipping Retin A, Potts canceled his WSJ.com subscription (after 15 years!) and found that he's still able to access for free almost everything he had previously paid for with only a few URL changes and the most basic of Google skills. And even much of that information, he argues, is readily available from other sources for free, damaging the value of the venerable Journal paywall. "Even the Journal can't enforce the kind of exclusivity that would make it worth paying for—it's too easy to look elsewhere," Potts writes. Retin A Mg, Another Times-related story to note: The paper's managing editor for news, Jill Abramson, will leave her position for six months to become immersed in the digital side of the Times' operation. The New York Observer tries out a few possible explanations for the move, Retin A recreational.

Going all-in on digital publishing: Speaking of immersion, two publishers in the past two weeks have tried a fascinating experiment: Producing an issue entirely through new-media tools. The first was 48 Hours, a new San Francisco-based magazine that puts together each issue from beginning to end in two days. The magazine's editors announced a theme, Retin A pics,  solicited submissions via email and Twitter, received 1,500 submissions, then put together the magazine, all in 48 hours. Several who saw the finished product were fairly impressed, but CBS's lawyers were a little less pleased about the whole '48 Hours' name, Retin A Mg. Gizmodo had a Q&A with the mag's editors (all webzine vets) and PBS MediaShift and the BBC took a closer look at the editorial process.

Second, effects of Retin A, the Journal Register Co. newspaper chain finished the Ben Franklin Project, an experiment in producing a daily and weekly newspaper and website using only free, web-based tools. Two small Ohio newspapers accomplished the feat this week, Retin A dose, and Poynter's Mallary Jean Tenore took a look inside the effort. Retin A Mg, What she uncovered should be an inspiration for people looking to implement change in newsrooms, especially ones that might be resistant to digital media. A quote from the daily paper's managing editor sums it up: "When we started out, we said, 'We're going to do what. How are we going to do this?' Now we're showing ourselves that we can operate in a world that, even six months ago, used to be foreign to us."

Reading roundup: This week, Retin A pharmacy, I've got two developments and a handful of other pieces to think on:

— Yahoo bought the online content producer Associated Content for $100 million this week. News business analyst Ken Doctor examined what this deal means for Yahoo (it's big, he says), and considers the demand-and-advertising-driven model employed by Associated Content and others like Demand Media.

— If you follow NYU professor Jay Rosen on Twitter, Retin A online cod, you've heard a ton about fact-checking over the past couple of months. A couple more interesting tidbits on the subject this week: Fact-checks are consistently the AP's most popular pieces online, and Minnesota Public Radio has unveiled PoliGraph, its own fact-checking effort, Retin A Mg.

— Poynter's Rick Edmonds compares two of the more talked-about local news startups launching this summer, Washington D.C.'s TBD and Hawaii's Honolulu Civil Beat. He's got some great details on both. Poynter also put together a list of 200 moments over the last decade that transformed journalism.

— If you're up for a quick, deep thought, the Lab's Josh Benton muses on the need for news to structure and shrink its users' world. "I think it’s journalists who need to take up that challenge," he says, "to learn how to spin something coherent and absorbing and contained and in-the-moment and satisfying from the chaos of the world around us."

— And once you're done with that, head into the weekend laughing at the Onion's parody of newspapers' coverage of social media startups.

Buy Flagyl No Prescription

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Buy Flagyl No Prescription, on May 28, 2010.]

Facebook simplifies privacy control: After about a month of loud, sustained criticism, Facebook bowed to public pressure and instituted some changes Wednesday to users' privacy settings. The default status of most of the data on Facebook — that is, public —hasn't changed, but the social networking site did make it easier for users to determine and control their various privacy settings. For some social media critics, the tweaks were enough to close the book on this whole privacy brouhaha, Buy generic Flagyl, but others weren't so satisfied with Facebook. Here at the Lab, Megan Garber seized on the theme of "control" in Facebook's announcement, arguing that the company is acknowledging that online sharing is as much individual and self-interested as it is communal and selfless.

Before rolling out those changes, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg penned a Washington Post op-ed that served as a defense of Facebook's privacy policy masquerading as an apology. "If we give people control over what they share, they will want to share more, Buy Flagyl No Prescription. If people share more, online Flagyl without a prescription, the world will become more open and connected," he wrote. The reaction was swift and negative: It was called "long on propaganda and short on news," "disingenuous" and "missing the point" by several media and tech critics.

Their comments were part of continued attacks on Facebook's privacy stance that began to shift from "Facebook is evil" to "So what do we do now?" Facebook's new, more private rivals escalated their efforts to provide an alternative, Flagyl over the counter, while social media researcher Danah Boyd argued that leaving Facebook would be futile and instead urged users to "challenge Facebook to live up to a higher standard." Several legal and web thinkers also discussed whether the government should regulate Facebook's privacy policies, and the Harvard Business Review's Bruce Nussbaum made the case that Facebook has alienated the generational principles of its primary user base of millennials. (Mathew Ingram of GigaOm disagreed.)

But amid all that, Facebook — or at least the sharing of personal information — got another defender: The prominent tech thinker Steven Johnson. In a thoughtful essay for Time, He used the example of media critic Jeff Jarvis' public bout with prostate cancer to argue that living in public has its virtues, too. "We have to learn how to break with that most elemental of parental commandments: Don't talk to strangers," Johnson wrote. Buy Flagyl No Prescription, "It turns out that strangers have a lot to give us that's worthwhile, and we to them." Of course, Johnson argues, being public or private is for the first time a decision, and it requires a new kind of literacy to go with it.

Paywalls and the links between old and new media: The Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism released a study examining the way several big news topics were discussed across several online news platforms, Where can i buy cheapest Flagyl online, and as usual, it's a whole lot of discoveries to sift through. Among the headlines that Pew pointed out in its summary: Twitter users share more technology news than other platforms, the traditional press may be underemphasizing international news, blogs and the press have different news agendas, and Twitter is less tied to traditional media than blogs. (Mashable has another good roundup, online buy Flagyl without a prescription, focusing on the differences between the traditional media and the blogosphere.

The study did take some heat online: TBD's Steve Buttry took issue with the assertion that most original reporting comes from traditional journalists, and the Knight Digital Media Center's Amy Gahran dug into the study's methodology and argued that Pew selected from a list of blogs predisposed to discuss what the traditional media is reporting, and that Pew's definition of news is shaped by circular reasoning.

Gahran was looking at what turned out to be the most attention-grabbing statistic from the study: That 99 percent of the stories blogs link to are produced by the mainstream media, and more than 80 percent come from just four news outlets — the BBC, CNN, The New York Times and the Washington Post, Buy Flagyl No Prescription. DailyFinance media columnist Jeff Bercovici used that statistic to caution that the Times may be giving up a valuable place as one of the top drivers of online news discussion by implementing its paywall next year. Flagyl used for, Reuters' Felix Salmon echoed that warning, adding that if the Times is truly keeping the doors to its site open to bloggers, it should be trumpeting that as loudly as possible. And wouldn't you know it — the next day the Times did just that, reiterating that links to their site from blogs won't count against the limit of free visits.

Meanwhile, Rupert Murdoch's British newspaper the Times and Sunday Times unveiled plans for its soon-to-be-erected paywall, Flagyl price, coupon, including the fact that all of the sites' articles will be blocked from all search engines. Buy Flagyl No Prescription, The Times and New York Times' paywalls were almost tailor-made for being contrasted, and that's exactly what the Lab's Jason Fry did, using them as examples of an open vs. closed paradigm regarding paid content.

A challenger to the AP's model: We found out about a fascinating news innovation this week at the TechCrunch Disrupt Conference, where the online news sharing company Publish2 revealed News Exchange, its new content-sharing service for publishers. Flagyl maximum dosage, Essentially, News Exchange is a way for media outlets, both online-only and traditional, to send and receive stories to each other for publication while retaining control of what they share and with whom.

If that sounds like a free, open version of The Associated Press, it's because that's exactly what Publish2 sees it as, Flagyl duration. At the conference, Publish2's Scott Karp came out against The Associated Press with both guns blazing, calling it "a big enemy of newspapers" and "an obsolete, inefficient monopoly ripe for destruction." Publish2's goal, he said, is to "Craigslist the AP." (In a blog post, Publish2's Ryan Sholin went into some more detail about why and how.)

Publish2's bold idea was met with mixed reactions among both the tech and media crowds: A few of TechCrunch's panelists wondered whether print publications were worth building a business around, but they were impressed enough to advance it to the final round of the conference's startup competition anyhow, Buy Flagyl No Prescription. NYU j-prof Jay Rosen called it "an extension into print of 'do what you do best and link to the rest,'" and CUNY j-prof C.W. Anderson said he was thrilled to watch Publish2 take on an irrational system but concerned that the tangle of CMS's could trip it up. But media consultant Mark Potts noted that much of what the AP transmits is news it reports and produces, something Publish2 isn't going to try to do. Flagyl use, It's rare that we see such a bold, explicit attempt to take down such an established news organization, so this will doubtless be a project to keep a close eye on.

A disappointing iPad app and an open-web debate: A couple of iPad-related developments and debates this week: While publishers cautiously awaited Buy Flagyl No Prescription, the iPad's international release this week, Wired magazine released its iPad app this week — an eagerly awaited app in tech circles. The app is $5 per month, significantly more than the $10 per year that the magazine charges subscribers. Gizmodo Australia's John Herrman called it "unequivocally, the best magazine for the iPad, online Flagyl without a prescription," but still wasn't entirely impressed. It's too expensive, takes up too much space, and doesn't deliver the reinvention of the magazine that we were expecting, he said. Flagyl photos, Lost Remote's Steve Safran was harsher — calling it a magazine dropped into an app. "Simply taking your existing magazine and sticking in some video does not make it a more attractive offering; it makes it a website from 2003," he said.

The New York Times Magazine's Virginia Heffernan ruffled a few feathers this week with a short essay on "The Death of the Open Web," in which she compared the move into the carefully controlled environs of Apple's products like the iPhone and iPad to white flight, Buy Flagyl No Prescription. Web writers Stowe Boyd and Tim Maly refuted Heffernan's argument, pointing primarily to the iPhone and iPad's browser and arguing that it keeps the door open to virtually everything the web has to offer. And blogging pioneer Dave Winer said the phrase "death of the open web" is rendered meaningless by the fact that it can't be verified. In a final quick iPad note, the journalism and programming site Hacks/Hackers hosted a conference in which attendees built an impressive 12 iPad apps in 30 hours, after Flagyl.

Reading roundup: This week, we've got two news items and a handful of other thoughtful or helpful pieces to take a look at. Buy Flagyl No Prescription, — The Bay Citizen, a nonprofit local news site based in San Francisco, launched this week. The San Francisco Bay Guardian took a look at the challenges in front of the Bay Citizen, Poynter used it as a lens to view four trends among news startups, and the Chicago Reader examined the Chicago News Cooperative, Purchase Flagyl online no prescription, another nonprofit news startup that also provides stories to The New York Times. The Lab's Laura McGann also gave some tips for launching a news site the right way.

— Forbes bought the personal publishing site True/Slant, whose founder, Lewis Dvorkin, is a former Forbes staffer. Dvorkinexplained his decision to sell, and Felix Salmon expressed his skepticism about True/Slant's future.

— Longtime journalists Tom Foremski and Caitlin Kelly both wrote thoughtful posts on what happens when pageviews become a high priority within news organizations, Buy Flagyl No Prescription. They're not optimistic.

— Two pieces to bookmark for future reference: Mashable has a thorough but digestible overview of five ways to make money off of news online, and TBD's Steve Buttry gives some fantastic tips for landing a job in digital journalism.

— Finally, NewsCred's Shafqat Islam has a wonderful guide to creating effective topic pages for news. This one should be a must-read for any news org looking seriously at context-driven news online.

Diflucan Over The Counter

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Diflucan Over The Counter, on May 14, 2010.]

Google's attempt to save the news: There weren't a whole lot of newsy events around journalism to report this week, so we'll start off with the most significant think piece: James Fallows' opus in The Atlantic on Google's efforts to come to the news industry's aid.

Fallows, a veteran journalist and media critic, spent the last year talking to Google engineers and execs about their relationship with the news media, and he came out remarkably optimistic. In a 9, Comprar en línea Diflucan, comprar Diflucan baratos, 000-word piece, Fallows examines the news industry's struggles from Google's perspective, outlines their principles for a way forward — distribution, engagement and monetization — and briefly highlights five of their recent news-oriented projects: Living StoriesFast FlipYouTube Direct, online display ads and paid-content logistics, Diflucan cost. He concludes by noting a few of Google's paradoxical stances, which he calls "major and encouraging developments" for the news business:

"The organization that dominates the online-advertising world says that much more online-ad money can be flowing to news organizations. The company whose standard price to consumers is zero says that subscribers can and will pay for news. The name that has symbolized disruption of established media says it sees direct self-interest in helping the struggling journalism business."

Reaction on the piece for future-of-journalism folks ran the gamut, from "absolute must-read" endorsements to groans at the article's years-old concepts. And in a way, both sides are right: To those closely following the journalism-in-tradition scene, there's really no news in this piece, Diflucan Over The Counter. The Google officials' perspectives on why the news is broken and what needs to be done about it are familiar enough to have become conventional wisdom among people thinking about journalism and technology. Diflucan steet value, (Fallows even acknowledges this in a few spots.) But at the same time, Fallows summarizes that relatively new conventional wisdom in a comprehensive, readable way, making the piece a brilliant primer on where the news on the web stands right now. For the insider, this is ho-hum stuff; for everyone else, this is an ideal introduction to the subject.

Journalism prof and digital media expert Jeff Jarvis, who's written his own book on Google, is Diflucan addictive, is in the 'must-read' camp, citing Fallows' impressions as evidence that Google is a friend to the news business. Jason Fry and All Things Digital's Peter Kafka are more skeptical, questioning Google's ability to actually turn the industry around.

Fry notes that publishers are unorganized and tentative, making industry-wide solutions difficult to implement, Where can i cheapest Diflucan online, and Kafka says that even with Google's help, online ads aren't likely to be valuable enough to support substantive newsgathering. The Awl's Choire Sicha makes a similar point, while using Google's statistics to point out the folly of news organizations' editorial cuts over the past few years.

Mediocre reviews for iPad apps Diflucan Over The Counter, : It's been a month and a half now since the iPad was released, and we're starting to get beyond the "first impressions" phase of the reviews of news organizations' iPad apps. News business guru Alan Mutter combed through the reviews and ratings at Apple's app store to evaluate the 10 most popular news apps, and found that apps by European outlets and broadcasters are most well-liked, and pay apps aren't too popular, buy generic Diflucan.

If you want to succeed on the iPad, he said, you have to go beyond the look and feel of your legacy product and offer some more value, especially if you're going to charge: "Consumers are smart enough to tell when a publisher slaps a premium price on recycled print or web content – and they won’t go for it."

Usability expert Jakob Nielsen took a more thorough look at iPad apps, releasing a 93-page report on a few dozen apps from media companies and elsewhere. About Diflucan, His summary is pretty illuminating: He found that designers have tried to outdo themselves with clever interaction techniques, leading to a whole lot of confusion about how to navigate apps. (New York Times designer Alexis Lloyd disagreed with Nielsen's emphasis on simplicity, arguing that experimentation is more important right now.) Nielsen also concluded, like Mutter, that designers are relying too much on a print-based concept revolving around the "next article" idea, which he argued doesn't make sense on mobile media, Diflucan images.

After fiddling around with the iPad for a few weeks, the Lab's Jason Fry discovered that the iPad's killer app may not be its apps at all, but instead its lightning-fast, easy-to-use browser, Diflucan Over The Counter. That might put news orgs in an awkward spot, Fry wrote, after hanging their hats on apps: They still can't compete with their own (free) websites on the iPad.

Dissecting Newsweek's downfall: Commentary continued to roll in on last week's news that The Washington Post Co. will try to sell Newsweek, Buy cheap Diflucan no rx, starting with a column by Newsweek's editor, Jon Meacham. He defended the magazine against its doomsayers, pointed out that it hasn't closed and arguing that if the economic climate were better, it would be profitable. Diflucan Over The Counter, He also made a case for Newsweek's continued existence, saying it "means something to the country" and represents an opportunity to bring a large number of otherwise fragmented Americans together to focus on common topics. The magazine's task now, he wrote, online buying Diflucan, was to find a business model to sustain that role. (Journalism prof Jay Rosen was not impressed.)

Others continued to chime in with their opinions about why Newsweek failed: Blogging pioneer Dave Winer said it was a lack of innovation stemming from a corporate mindset, and Harvard Business Review writer (and former Newsweek staffer) Dan McGinn said the demise of U.S. News & World Report as a rival hurt, too. Buy Diflucan from canada, Forbes' Trevor Butterworth and blogger Greg Satell both hit on a different idea: There was no there there. Butterworth made a striking comparison of the amount of content in an issue of Newsweek and the Economist, and Satell compared Newsweek with Foreign Affairs and the Atlantic, two magazines whose upscale readership Meacham has coveted. "The notion that offering a magazine consisting mainly of one-page opinion pieces would attract a better quality audience than reporting flies in the face of any apparent media reality," Satell wrote, Diflucan Over The Counter.

Meanwhile, the discussion of possible buyers began to build. Yahoo's Michael Calderone shot down media moguls Rupert Murdoch, Philip Anschutz and Carlos Slim Helu as options and raised the possibility of a bid by Michael Bloomberg. A few days later, The New York Observer revealed that Thomson Reuters and Politico owner Allbritton Communications were interested, order Diflucan online c.o.d, and The Wall Street Journal reported that Univision owner and billionaire investor Haim Saban is interested, too.

Facebook privacy fury builds: An update on the ongoing consternation over Facebook's latest privacy breach: IBM developer Matt McKeon and The New York Times' Guilbert Gates provided striking visual depictions of Facebook's advances against privacy and the hoops its users have to jump through to maintain it. Facebook (sort of) answered users' privacy questions at The New York Times and held an internal meeting Diflucan Over The Counter, about privacy Thursday.

But the cries about privacy violations continue unabated. GigaOm's Liz Gannes said Facebook's Times Q&A wasn't sufficiently conciliatory, and All Facebook called for Instant Personalization to become opt-in, Diflucan reviews, rather than opt-out. Others went further, quitting Facebook and calling for an open alternative. Four NYU students were happy to oblige them, becoming almost literally an overnight sensation and raising $100,000 this week for a decentralized Facebook alternative called Diaspora* on the back of a New York Times profile and plenty of tech-blog hype.

Jeff Jarvis offered a smart analysis of why Facebook is rubbing so many people the wrong way: It's confusing the public sphere (the type of public we usually think of when we think of the word "public") with the "publics" we create for ourselves when we build networks of our friends and family on Facebook.

Jarvis explains the difference well: "When I blog something, canada, mexico, india, I am publishing it to the world for anyone and everyone to see: the more the better, is the assumption. But when I put something on Facebook my assumption had been that I was sharing it just with the public I created and control there. That public is private."

Reading roundup: A few quick hits on pieces you should make sure to catch this week:

— The Wall Street Journal is one of the first newspapers to try to do some significant location-based news innovation with Foursquare, and the Lab's Megan Garber has a good overview of what they have going, Diflucan Over The Counter.

— The Huffington Post turned five this week, and The Columbia Journalism Review put together five reflections on its impact to mark the occasion. CJR also published a lengthy examination of the state of nonprofit investigative journalism, Kjøpe Diflucan på nett, köpa Diflucan online, focusing on California Watch and The Center for Public Integrity.

— Columbia professor Michael Schudson, who co-authored a major study of the state of journalism published last fall, talked some more about several aspects of "the new news ecosystem" in a Q&A with The Common Review.

— Finally, a piece I missed last week: Longtime Salon writer Scott Rosenberg gave a speech at a Stanford conference that thoughtfully delineates a 21st-century definition of journalism. Here's the one-sentence version: "You’re doing journalism when you’re delivering an accurate and timely account of some event to some public.".

This Week in Review: Newsweek on the block, Twitter as a journalistic system, and more paywall rumblings

June 17th, 2010

Armour Cost

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Armour Cost, on April 30, 2010.]

Apple and Gizmodo’s shield law test: The biggest tech story of the last couple of weeks has undoubtedly been the gadget blog Gizmodo’s photos of a prototype of Apple’s next iPhone that was allegedly left in a bar by an Apple employee. That story got a lot more interesting for journalism- and media-oriented folks this week, when we found out that police raided a Gizmodo blogger’s apartment based on a search warrant for theft.


What had been a leaked-gadget story turned into a case study on web journalism and the shield law. Mashable and Poynter did a fine job of laying out the facts of the case and the legal principles at stake: Was Gizmodo engaged in acts of journalism when it paid for the lost iPhone and published information about it. Social media consultant Simon Owens has a good roundup of opinions on the issue, including whether the situation would be different if Gizmodo hadn’t bought the iPhone.


The Electronic Frontier Foundation, Where can i find Armour online, a digital rights group, came out most strongly against the raid, arguing to Wired and Laptop magazine and in its own post that California law is clear that the Gizmodo blogger was acting as a reporter. The Citizen Media Law Project’s Sam Bayard agreed, backing the point up with a bit more case history. Not everyone had Gizmodo’s back, comprar en línea Armour, comprar Armour baratos, though: In a piece written before the raid, media critic Jeff Bercovici of Daily Finance said that Gizmodo was guilty of straight-up theft, journalistic motives or no.


J-prof Jay Rosen added a helpful clarification to the “are bloggers journalists” debate (it’s actually about whether Gizmodo was engaged in an act of journalism, he says) and ex-Saloner Scott Rosenberg reached back to a piece he wrote five years ago to explain why that debate frustrates him so much. Meanwhile, the Columbia Journalism Review noted that the Gizmodo incident was just one in a long line of examples of Apple’s anti-press behavior.



Bridging the newsroom-academy gap: Texas j-prof Rosental Alves held his annual International Symposium on Online Journalism last weekend, and thanks to a lot of people’s work in documenting the conference, we have access to much of what was presented and discussed there, Armour Cost. What is Armour, The conference site and Canadian professor Alfred Hermida devoted about 20 posts each to the event’s sessions and guests, so there’s loads of great stuff to peruse if you have time.


The conference included presentations on all kinds of stuff like Wikipedianews site designonline commentsmicropayments, and news innovation, buy Armour online no prescription, but I want to highlight two sessions in particular. The first is the keynote by Demand Media’s Steven Kydd, who defended the company’s content and business model from criticism that it’s a harmful “content farm.” Kydd described Demand Media as “service journalism,” providing content on subjects that people want to know about while giving freelancers another market. Armour results, You can check summaries of his talk at the official siteHermida’s blog, and in a live blog by Matt Thompson. The conference site also has video of the Q&A session and reflections on Kydd’s charisma and a disappointing audience reaction. The other session worth taking a closer look at was a panel on nonprofit journalism, which, judging from Hermida and the conference’s roundups, purchase Armour for sale, seemed especially rich with insight into particular organizations’ approaches.


The conference got Matt Thompson, a veteran of both the newsroom and the academy who’s currently working for NPR, thinking about what researchers can do to bring the two arenas closer together. “I saw a number of studies this weekend that working journalists would find fascinating and helpful,” he wrote. “Yet they’re not available in forms I’d feel comfortable sending around the newsroom.” Armour Cost, He has some practical, doable tips that should be required reading for journalism researchers.



Making sense of social data: Most of the commentary on Facebook’s recent big announcements came out last week, but there’s still been plenty of good stuff since then.

— Long-form journalism has been getting a lot of attention lately. Online buy Armour without a prescription, Slate’s Jack Shafer wrote about longform.org, an effort to collect and link to the best narrative journalism on the web.
