Armour For Sale

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Armour For Sale, on Jan. 28, 2011.]

Playing WikiLeaks Whack-a-Mole: Ever since WikiLeaks broke through into the public's consciousness last summer, observers have been predicting that its functions would be replicated by other organizations, both within and outside traditional journalism. We've seen signs of that for a couple of months, but the movement toward leakiness got a few big boosts this week with the launch of a leak submission system by Al Jazeera and the news that The New York Times is considering one of its own, Armour gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release.

Al Jazeera started off with the release of the Palestine Papers, and the Palestinian Authority responded by blocking the new site. The Times' executive editor, Bill Keller, said his paper's looking at something along the lines of Al Jazeera's system, Cheap Armour, and a group from the CUNY Graduate School is also launching Localeaks, which allows leakers to submit leaks to any one of more than 1,400 local newspapers in the U.S. Meanwhile, WikiLeaks' Julian Assange told the Associated Press that he's up to 20 media partners and is hoping to triple that number in the next few months, Armour For Sale.

A couple of writers weighed in with thoughtful takes on these developments: Mathew Ingram of GigaOM suggested that leakers might still prefer WikiLeaks because it allows them freedom from relying on only one organization's view of the documents, since WikiLeaks works with numerous competing news outlets. In a particularly insightful piece, Raffa Khatchadourian of The New Yorker expounded on the strengths and weaknesses of the traditional media alternative to WikiLeaks, buy cheap Armour no rx, focusing on the two organizations' ties to societal conventions: "accountability limits the Times, but it also offers it protections—protections that WikiLeaks at the moment does not enjoy because, among other things, there is not enough public consensus on what it is and stands for."

That chasm between the culture of the Times and WikiLeaks was vividly manifested this week with the Times' publication of an essay by Keller about his paper's dealings with WikiLeaks, painting a less-than-flattering picture of Assange. Order Armour online overnight delivery no prescription, (The Daily Beast and Yahoo News have good summaries of the piece.) WikiLeaks denounced the article, and Gawker's John Cook found Keller's insults off-putting, especially given the service Assange has done his paper. Cook also pointed out the degree to which the Times worked with the U.S. Armour For Sale, State Department in releasing the cables, a practice that's probably quite at odds with Assange's theory of radical transparency.

Ongo's paid aggregation plan: Few topics are hotter in the future-of-news world than aggregation, except perhaps for the ongoing quest to find a way to make money off of news online. So when a startup combines both, Armour class, like Ongo is doing, people are going to pay attention. The service, launched this week by eBay/Skype/PayPal alum Alex Kazim, offers aggregated news from several major news outlets for fees starting at $6.99 a month. Armour from canada, Kazim told paidContent that he's targeting users who graze among numerous news sites and value a sharp user experience more highly than the content itself.

The instant reviews weren't exactly enthusiastic, Armour For Sale. Mashable's Lauren Indvik said that Ongo's slim selection of news outlets will likely leave users getting only a fraction of their daily news via Ongo — something they may not be willing to pay for. (Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson of the Financial Times made a similar argument.) Zee Kane of The Next Web said Flipboard, Feedly and Google Reader all provide similar services, and they're all cheaper and better. Lost Remote's Cory Bergman compared Ongo with Hulu's model, but noted that Hulu's product (entertainment TV) is scarcer and more highly demanded than Ongo's product (online news), Armour mg.

GigaOM's Mathew Ingram had the harshest criticism, arguing that no one who knows how to use RSS will have any reason to use Ongo."Ongo seems like yet another Hail Mary pass aimed at trying to rewind the clock and impose scarcity on media content, and one that will likely fail just as quickly as others have," he wrote. Armour For Sale, But there is one group of people who have quite a bit of faith in Ongo — newspaper executives, particularly those from The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Gannett, all of whom have invested in the company. The Times, Armour pics, of course, is planning an online paid-content plan of its own, which The Wall Street Journal reported it will begin rolling out next month. According to the Journal, the Times' current plan has an iPad/web bundle costing more than twice as much as a website subscription alone, leading Reuters' Felix Salmon to wonder why the Times seems to be planning on pushing readers away from its iPad app.

Wall Street's warm welcome for Demand Media: Demand Media, cheap Armour no rx, the most prominent of the "content farms" that have drawn so much criticism over the past year or so, had an extraordinarily successful initial public offering on Wall Street this week, with first-day trading pushing its valuation to $1.5 billion Wednesday — higher than The New York Times Co. itself. That had to sting quite a bit for the Times, especially considering that, as Rafat Ali reported and The Wall Street Journal confirmed, the Times had almost bought Demand a few years back, Armour For Sale.

Demand's trading was driven by a lot of enthusiasm — exemplified by Keith Richman at Advertising Age — about the efficiency and profitability of its business model, Kjøpe Armour på nett, köpa Armour online, but its detractors are still loud, too. Forbes' Jeff Bercovici mocked some ridiculous Demand articles, and The Columbia Journalism Review's Lauren Kirchner told journalists why they should care: Demand is "a company that works every day to lower the standards of online content, that devalues the skills of reporting and writing, and that removes any incentive for original thought in exchange for quantity and speed."

Someone else who signaled its displeasure with companies like Demand this week: Google, on whom much of Demand's business model rests, Armour class. In a blog post, Google's Matt Cutts explained the shift in the company's antispam efforts toward a content-farm crackdown. Lauren Kirchner called spammers "tapeworms" for Google, but at Business Insider, Ben Elowitz argued that Google and Demand have a mutual (and mutually destructive) advertising-based relationship. Armour For Sale, Demand's Richard Rosenblatt, meanwhile, insisted that Cutts' post wasn't about Demand, and that the two companies have a healthy, "synergistic" relationship. Where can i buy cheapest Armour online, Search Engine Land's Danny Sullivan imagined what a Demand Media edition of The New York Times' website might look like, then urged news companies to both news coverage and "answers coverage" like the content farms — only a bit smarter.

Olbermann's exit: When MSNBC pundit Keith Olbermann ended his eight-year run hosting Countdown on Friday, it wasn't entirely unexpected — MSNBC suspended Olbermann in November for his contributions to Democratic candidates, touching off a simmering debate about objectivity and journalism. As The New York Times reported, Olbermann's exit was weeks in the making, Armour over the counter. Though its exact cause wasn't clear, Yahoo's Michael Calderone threw out a few possible reasons why Olbermann might have left.

In the wake of his departure, there was a bit of talk about Olbermann's place within the past decade of journalism: Lehigh j-prof Jeremy Littau said Olbermann's angry voice didn't fit the times anymore, though the Philadelphia Daily News' Will Bunch made a similar point in a more positive vein, suggesting Olbermann left because he had accomplished his mission giving voice to the appalled journalist and citizen, Armour For Sale. And Dave Winer urged Olbermann to now go directly to his audience, using the web to circumvent the traditional he just left.

Apple's subscription struggle: Apple's clampdown on publishers' hopes for subscriptions for the iPhone and iPad continues to ripple through the media world. Buy cheap Armour no rx, French analyst Frederic Filloux has a fantastic breakdown of the situation, explaining why publishers (especially smaller ones) are so upset and why they could take their app development elsewhere. ReadWriteWeb's Richard MacManus said the subscription plans would be good for consumers and publishers, but cautioned that it would put much of the business under Apple's control.

A few individual publishers' iPad developments: PaidContent gave us details of The Guardian's evolving plans Armour For Sale, for an iPad app, new publisher Nomad Editions launched four tablet-only magazines, and oh yeah, apparently Rupert Murdoch's coming out with some daily tablet-based news publication next week.

Reading roundup: A lot of big stories this week, so I'll go light on the ephemera:

— Last week's conversation (summarized nicely by David Cohn) about journalism education spilled over into this week. Tech pioneer Dave Winer provided this week's big idea with a great post on educating the "journo-programmer" (published in condensed form at the Lab), buy Armour online cod. Among his ideas: Teach aggregation, get away from the hackathon model, and just start doing it. PBS MediaShift profiled a innovative journalism program with which Winer is affiliated — Jay Rosen's Studio 20 at NYU.

— Your deep thought on the web for the week: Tech luminary John Battelle on the need for a new, revealed identity online.

— On the media literacy front, Paul Bradshaw, a j-prof at City University London and Birmingham City University, wrote a fantastic guide to verifying information online, focusing on content, context, and code.

— And in case you were wondering just what the heck is going on with the web right now, uh, The Oatmeal has you more than covered.

Retin A For Sale

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Retin A For Sale, on Jan. 21, 2011.]

Huge merger, big reservations: One of the biggest media deals of the past decade got its official go-ahead when the Federal Communications Commission approved the proposed merger between Comcast and NBC Universal. As Ars Technica noted, the deal's scope is massive: In addition to being the nation's largest cable provider, the new company will control numerous cable channels, plus the NBC television network, buy Retin A no prescription, Universal Studios, Universal theme parks, and two professional sports teams.

The new company will also retain a stake in the online TV site Hulu (which NBC co-founded with News Corp.), though it agreed to give up its management role as one of the conditions the FCC placed on its approval. Lost Remote's Steve Safran called the requirement a forward-thinking move by the FCC, Retin A use, given how far Comcast's content outpaces Hulu's right now. Another of the conditions also protects Bloomberg TV from being disadvantaged by Comcast in favor of its new property, CNBC, Retin A For Sale.

The decision had plenty of detractors, starting with the FCC's own Michael Copps, who wrote in his dissenting statement that the deal could lead to the "cable-ization of the Internet." "The potential for walled gardens, toll booths, content prioritization, access fees to reach end users, and a stake in the heart of independent content production is now very real, canada, mexico, india," he said. In the current issue of The Columbia Journalism Review, John Dunbar wrote a more thorough critique of the deal, arguing that it's old media's last-gasp attempt to stave off the web's disruption of television. Josh Silver and Josh Stearns of the media reform group both penned protests, too.

A few other angles: GigaOM's Liz Shannon Miller looked at the FCC's emphasis on online video, Retin A from canada, and All Things Digital's Peter Kafka explained why the deal might make it more difficult to give up cable. Finally, Steve Myers of Poynter examined NBC's agreement as part of the merger to create new partnerships between some of its local stations and nonprofit news organizations.

Rethinking j-school Retin A For Sale, : The Carnival of Journalism, an old collaborative blogging project, was revived this month by Spot.Us founder (and fellow at Missouri's Reynolds Journalism Institute) David Cohn, who directed participants to blog about the Knight Foundation's call for j-schools to increase their role as "hubs of journalistic activity" and integrate further integrate media literacy into all levels of education.

The posts came rolling in this week, and they contained a variety of ideas about both the journalistic hubs component and the media literacy component. The latter point was expounded on most emphatically by Craig Silverman, who laid out a vision for the required course "Bullshit Detection 101," teaching students how to consume media (especially online) with a keen, Retin A cost, skeptical eye. "The Internet is the single greatest disseminator of bullshit ever created. The Internet is also the single greatest destroyer of bullshit," he wrote.

CUNY j-prof C.W. Anderson pointed to a 2009 lecture in which he argued for education about the production of media (especially new media) to be spread beyond the j-school throughout universities, and Memphis j-prof Carrie Brown-Smith noted that for students to learn new media literacy, the professors have to be willing to learn it, Retin A dose, too. Politico reporter Juana Summers made the case for K-12 media literacy education, and POLIS director Charlie Beckett talked about going beyond simplistic concepts of media literacy, Retin A For Sale.

There were plenty of proposals about j-schools as journalistic hubs, as well. City University, London j-prof Paul Bradshaw wrote about the need for j-students to learn not just how to produce journalism, but how to facilitate its production by the community. Megan Taylor tossed out a few ideas, too, where can i order Retin A without prescription, including opening student newspapers up to the community, and J-Lab editorial directorAndrew Pergam and CUNY's Daniel Bachhuber looked at the newsroom cafe concept and NYU's The Local: East Village, respectively, as examples for j-schools. Cohn chimed in with suggestions on how to expand the work of journalism beyond the j-school and beyond the university, and Central Lancashire j-prof Andy Dickinson argued that j-schools should serve to fill the gaps left by traditional media.

A few more odds and ends from the Carnival of Journalism: Minnesota j-prof Seth Lewis urged j-schools Retin A For Sale, to create more opportunities for students to fail, Cornell grad student Josh Braun pondered how the rise of online education might play into all this, and Rowan j-prof Mark Berkey-Gerard listed some of the challenges of student-run journalism. Retin A overnight,

A pro-paywall data point: One of the biggest proponents of paid news online lately has been Steven Brill, whose Journalism Online works with news organizations to charge for content online. This week, Brill publicized findings from his first few dozen efforts that found that with a metered model (one that allows a certain number of articles for free, then charges for access beyond that), traffic didn't decline dramatically, as they were expected to. The New York Times — a paper that's planning a metered paid-content model — wrote about the results, Retin A images, and a few folks found it encouraging.

Others were skeptical — like The Columbia Journalism Review's Ryan Chittum, who wondered why the story didn't include information about how many people paid up online and how much revenue the paywalls generated. Rick Edmonds of Poynter pointed out the same thing, and tied the story to a recently announced paywall at the Dallas Morning News and tweaks at Honolulu Civil Beat's paywall, Retin A For Sale.

Elsewhere in the world of paid news content, Michele McLellan of the Knight Digital Media Center talked to the editor of the Waco (Texas) Tribune-Herald about his newspaper's paywall experiment.

Cracking the iPad's subscription code: Publishers' initial crush on the iPad seems to be fading into ambivalence: The New York Times reported this week that magazines publishers are frustrated with Apple's harsh terms in allowing them to offer iPad subscriptions and are beginning to look to other forthcoming tablets instead. Herbal Retin A, Apple is cracking down overseas, too, reportedly telling European newspapers that they can't offer a free iPad edition to print subscribers.

One publication is about to become one of the first to seriously test Apple's subscription model — Rupert Murdoch's much-anticipated The Daily. Advertising Age reported Retin A For Sale, on the expectations and implications surrounding The Daily, and the Lab's Ken Doctor took a look at The Daily's possible financial figures. Mashable's Lauren Indvik, meanwhile, wondered how The Daily will handle the social media portion of the operation.

In other iPad news, Retin A no rx, a survey reported on by Advertising Age found that while iPad users don't like ads there, they might welcome them as an alternative to paid apps. The survey also suggested, interestingly enough, that the device is being used a lot like home computers, with search and email dominating the uses and usage of media apps like books and TV lagging well behind that. Retin A wiki, Business Insider also reported that AOL is working on a Flipboard-esque iPad app that tailors news around users' preferences.

Reading roundup: Tons of other stuff going on this week, Retin A For Sale. Here's a sampling:

— Two titans of the tech industry, Apple's Steve Jobs and Google's Eric Schmidt — announced this week they would be stepping down (Jobs is taking a temporary medical leave; Schmidt stepping down as CEO but staying on as an adviser). Both were massive tech stories, and Techmeme has more links for you on both than I could ever intelligently direct you to.

— Another huge shakeup, this in the media world: Dean Singleton, co-founder of the bankrupt newspaper chain MediaNews, Retin A long termwill step down as its CEO. Both Ken Doctor and the Lab's Martin Langeveld saw Alden Global Capital's fingerprints all over this and other newspaper bankruptcy shakeups, with Langeveld speculating about a possible massive consolidation in the works. Retin A For Sale, — As I noted last week, Wikipedia celebrated its 10th anniversary last Saturday, prompting several reflections late last week. A few I that missed last week's review: Clay Shirky on Wikipedia's "ordinary miracle," The New York Times on Wikipedia's history, and Jay Rosen's comparison of Wikipedia and The Times. Retin A description, — Pew published a survey on the social web, and GigaOM's Mathew Ingram and The Atlantic's Jared Keller both offered smart summaries of the Internet's remarkable social capacity, with Keller tying it to Robert Putnam's well-known thoughts on social capital.

— A few addenda to last week's commentary about the Tucson shooting: How NPR's errant reporting hurt the families involved, j-prof Jeremy Littau on deleting incorrect tweets, Mathew Ingram on Twitter's accuracy in breaking news, and the Project for Excellence in Journalism's study of the shooting's coverage.

— Finally, Retin A street price, a wonderful manifesto for journalists by former Guardian editor Tim Radford. This is one you'll want to read, re-read, and then probably re-read again down the road.

Armour Price

Les Moonves Armour Price, , president of CBS Corp., was in Austin on Monday to receive an award from the University of Texas and give a lecture called "The Networks Strike Back: How Old Media Has Adapted to the New World." It was exactly what you'd guess from the title: A full-throated defense of the broadcast networks' vitality in a media landscape where new media companies like Google, Apple, Amazon and Netflix are making most of the headlines and shaping most of the media consumption.

Moonves' talk could have been subtitled: "It's still the content, stupid." His argument was simple: All these devices and platforms may be changing the way we consume media, but they're not changing the content we consume on that media. Well-produced, buy no prescription Armour online, high-quality content will win out on any platform, and the deep-pocketed networks (CBS in particular, of course) are still the ones producing that "professional content" without which the new-media innovations wouldn't have any real value. Armour over the counter, Moonves was unshakably optimistic — he didn't give the curmudgeon's dismissal of the Internet; he simply described it as just another medium for the existing media powers like his own company to colonize and extend their brands.

Before his talk, Moonves took some questions from 15 or so UT grad students (I was one) and gave a few more candid applications of his philosophy — you might call it a sort of new media Manifest Destiny — to various areas. Here are a few of the choice quotes, Armour Price.

"No matter how they share it, they have to come to us for our content, Armour natural. And we're going to get paid properly for it, or else we're not going to do it."

This was in response to a question about what CBS was doing to put their content on mobile devices. This is the issue of the day at CBS, Buy cheap Armour no rx, Moonves said, though the company is comfortable in taking it at their own pace.

Moonves spoke about the Googles, Apples and Amazons of the world with what I saw a sort of veiled condescension — he repeatedly referred to their executives as "geniuses" who were changing the way the world consumes media, but without quality content, fast shipping Armour, he said, their technologies are just blank screens. Armour Price, And because Moonves sees CBS' content as holding so much value, he's fine with withholding that content from a platform until he feels it gets the money it's worth.

The second part of that quote is a common sentiment among media executives these days, Armour from canada, but you usually see it followed with something to the effect of, "...and that's why we're going to begin charging for all of our online content, starting in 2011..." But when it was brought up later, Moonves was pretty cool to the idea of a paywall for news (he was never directly asked about it, but said he doesn't believe anybody would pay for CBS News' content online because they can get it for free elsewhere), order Armour no prescription.

So Moonves is pretty picky about getting paid for CBS' content, but he's also picky about what content he'll charge for and where. CBS is the only network that doesn't put its videos on Hulu, After Armour, because Moonves wants to be free to use them elsewhere, too. As for Apple's world of products ...

"Let's see how your experiment goes, and my guess is if we want to join in January, you'll take our content."

This was Moonves' characterization of his conversation with Apple's Steve Jobs' (or, more precisely, Jobs' people — he said he's only talked to Steve about paid content once) about Apple's new 99-cent TV show rental plan through iTunes, Armour Price.

Moonves seems to have no problem taking a wait-and-see approach with new content forms and pricing plans: Watch others experiment, and if it looks successful, where can i buy Armour online, jump on it. He made it clear that CBS does want to be involved in this stuff — it's just going to do it on its own terms, because as Moonves sees it, Canada, mexico, india, CBS holds all the cards as a provider of valuable content. As he said in his lecture, "The guys who produce the best content, the best programming, are in the driver's seat."

"It has to change, kjøpe Armour på nett, köpa Armour online. Otherwise, it will go down."

Moonves on the half-hour evening newscast. Armour Price, CBS will always produce a nightly evening newscast, Moonves said, as it's "part of our agreement with the American people that we will do that." But he sees the form of that newscast changing radically — and probably soon.

He tossed out the idea of turning the evening news into more of a Nightline-style in-depth examination of one or two issues, Armour photos, or an extended discussion a la Face the Nation.

Some of the reason for those changes is the fact that by the time people get home in the evening, they already know the day's news, Moonves said. But another key factor is cost, what is Armour. Moonves said repeatedly that the model of maintaining costly foreign bureaus and a sizable reporting staff primarily to feed only a half-hour daily news show isn't a good one, and CBS hasn't been doing it as well since its extensive cuts over the past several years. A nightly show based on fewer issues or commentary would be much cheaper — though an often-discussed merger with CNN (which Moonves referenced without going into specifics) would change those economics quite a bit, too, Armour Price.

"The Katie Couric deal will be the last big deal of that kind ever done. Armour gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, ... Those days are over, because the news no longer generates the kind of revenue or success that's worth doing [those contracts]."

Another way to cut costs: Don't sign marquee anchors to eight-figure annual salaries. Not only was Moonves he won't do that again, but he was asserting that no one will do that again, Armour use. Armour Price, Why.

"We thought it would make a difference. It didn't."

Oh. I guess there's that.

"We have to be down the middle as best we can. We have licenses. We are a public trust."

This was Moonves' response to a question about whether CBS would begin moving into advocacy journalism with the cable-news success of MSNBC and Fox News. As a network, we have a responsibility to play everything down the middle, Moonves said. It's certainly not a surprising response, though it is yet another affirmation of the dominance of Jay Rosen's "view from nowhere" in the mainstream American political press.

Lipitor Over The Counter

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Lipitor Over The Counter, on Sept. 24, 2010.]

Is Apple giving publishers a raw deal?: The San Jose Mercury News' report that Apple is moving toward a newspaper and magazine subscription plan via its App Store didn't immediately generate much talk when it was published last week, but the story picked up quite a bit of steam this week. Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal both confirmed the story over the weekend, reporting that Apple may introduce the service early next year along with a new iPad. The service, they said, will be similar to Apple's iBook store, Lipitor class, and Bloomberg reported that it will be separate from the App Store.

Those reports were met with near-universal skepticism — not of their accuracy, but of Apple's motivations and trustworthiness within such a venture. Former journalist Steve Yelvington sounded the alarm most clearly: "Journalists and publishers, Apple is not your friend." It's a corporation, Yelvington said, Lipitor canada, mexico, india, and like all corporations, it will do anything — including ripping you apart — to pursue its own self-interest.

Several other observers fleshed out some of the details of Yelvington's concern: EMarketer's Paul Verna compared the situation to Apple's treatment of the music industry with iTunes, and GigaOM's Mathew Ingram and TechCrunch's MG Siegler wondered whether publishers would balk at giving up data about their subscribers to Apple or at Apple's reported plans to take a 30% share of subscription revenue, Lipitor Over The Counter. Ingram predicted that publishers would play ball with Apple, but warned that they might wind up "sitting in a corner counting their digital pennies, while Apple builds the business that they should have built themselves." Dovetailing with their worries was another story of Apple's control over news content on its platform, as Network World reported that Apple was threatening to remove Newsday's iPad app over a (quite innocuous) commercial by the newspaper that Apple allegedly found offensive.

Media analyst Ken Doctor broke down publishers' potential reactions to Apple's initiative, looking at the plan's appeal to them ("It offers a do-over, Lipitor samples, the chance to redraw the pay/free lines of the open web") and their possible responses (accept, negotiate with Apple, or look into "anti-competitive inquiries"). In a post at the Lab, Doctor also took a quick look at Apple's potential subscription revenue through this arrangement, an amount he said could be "mind-bending."

All Things Digital's Peter Kafka noted one indicator that publishers are in serious need of a subscription service on the iPad, Online Lipitor without a prescription, pointing out that Time Inc.'s Sports Illustrated can't pay for the designers to make its iPad app viewable in two directions because, according to its digital head, it doesn't have the money without an iPad subscription program. Gizmodo's Matt Buchanan used the same situation to explain why iPad subscriptions would be so critical for publishers and readers.

A coup for journalism with a point of view Lipitor Over The Counter, : It hasn't been unusual over the past year to read about big-name journalists jumping from legacy-media organizations to web-journalism outfits, but two of those moves this week seemed to mark a tipping point for a lot of the observers of the future-of-journalism world. Both were made by The Huffington Post, as it nabbed longtime Newsweek correspondent Howard Fineman and top New York Times business writer Peter Goodman.

The Wrap's Dylan Stableford looked at what Fineman's departure means for Newsweek (he's one of at least 10 Newsweek editorial staffers to leave since the magazine's sale was announced last month), but what got most people talking was Goodman's explanation of why he was leaving: "It's a chance to write with a point of view, Lipitor duration," he said. "With the dysfunctional political system, old conventional notions of fairness make it hard to tell readers directly what's going on. This is a chance for me to explore solutions in my economic reporting."

That kind of reporting (as opposed to, as Goodman called it, "laundering my own views" by getting someone from a thinktank to express them in an article) is exactly what many new-media folks have been advocating, Rx free Lipitor, and hearing someone from The New York Times express it so clearly felt to them like a turning point. The tone of centrist detachment of mainstream journalism "has become a liability in keeping newsroom talent," declared NYU professor Jay Rosen on Twitter, Lipitor Over The Counter. Others echoed that thought: Gawker's Hamilton Nolan extolled the virtues of being "able to call bullshit bullshit," and former Salon editor Scott Rosenberg said legacy news orgs like The Times need to find a way to allow its reporters more freedom to voice their perspective while maintaining their standards. Salon's Dan Gillmor agreed with Rosenberg on the centrality of human voice within journalism and noted that this exodus to new media is also a sign of those sites' financial strength.

Former McClatchy exec Howard Weaver countered that while transparency and clear voice is preferable to traditional "objectivity," freeing traditional journalists isn't as simple as just spilling their biases. Advocacy journalism is not just giving an opinion, he said, it's a "disciplined, order Lipitor from mexican pharmacy, ethical posture that tries to build truth out of evidence, regardless of the outcome."

Getting journalism startups off the ground: If you're interested in the journalism startup scene — for-profit or nonprofit — you got a gold mine of observations and insights this week. Over at PBS' Idea Lab, Brad Flora, founder of the Chicago blog network Windy Citizenexamined five mistakes that kill local news blogs. Here's how he summed his advice up: " Lipitor Over The Counter, You are not starting a blog, you are launching a small business. Purchase Lipitor for sale, You are no different from the guy opening a bar up the road. ... You need to know something about blogging and social media, yes, but what you really need to bone up on is what it takes to run a small business." The post has some fantastic comments, including a great set of advice from The Batavian's Howard Owens. On his own blog, Owens also gave some pretty thorough tips on developing advertising revenue at a local news startup.

On the nonprofit side, Lipitor from canadian pharmacy, the Knight Citizen News Network went even deeper into startup how-to, providing a comprehensive 12-step guide to launching a nonprofit news organization. It may be the single best resource on the web for the practical work of starting a nonprofit news site, Lipitor Over The Counter. Voice of San Diego is one of the most successful examples of those sites, and its CEO, Scott Lewis told the story of his organization and the flame-out of the for-profit San Diego News Network as an example of the importance of what he calls "revenue promiscuity."

David Cohn, founder of another nonprofit news startup, Purchase Lipitor online, Spot.Us, also looked at six new journalism startups, leading off with Kommons, a question-answering site built around Twitter and co-founded by NYU Local founder Cody Brown. Rachel Sklar of Mediaite gave it a glowing review, describing it as "a community that seeks smart, conversation-furthering answers prompted by smart, probing questions — publicly." She also said it sneakily lures users into giving it free content, Lipitor dosage, though Brown responded that anyone who's ever asked you to interview has been trying to do the same thing — only without giving you any control over how your words get used. (Kommons isn't being sneaky, he said. You know you're not getting paid going in.)

Three more future-oriented j-school programs: After last week's discussion about the role of journalism schools in innovation, news of new j-school projects continued to roll in this week. City University of New York announced it's expanding its graduate course in entrepreneurial journalism into the United States' first master's degree Lipitor Over The Counter, in that area. New-media guru Jeff Jarvis, Order Lipitor online overnight delivery no prescription, who will direct the program, wrote that he wants CUNY to lead a movement to combine journalism and entrepreneurship skills at schools across the country.

Two nationwide news organizations are also developing new programs in partnership with j-schools: Journalism.co.uk reported that CNN is working on a mentoring initiative with journalism students called iReport University and has signed up City University London, and AOL announced that its large-scale hyperlocal project, Patch, is teaming up with 13 U.S. j-schools for a program called PatchU that will give students college credit for working on a local Patch site under the supervision of a Patch editor. Of course, buy Lipitor without prescription, using college students is a nice way to get content for cheap, something Ken Doctor noted as he also wondered what the extent of Patch's mentoring would be.

Reading roundup: As always, there's plenty of good stuff to get to, Lipitor Over The Counter. Here's a quick glance:

— Former Washington Post executive editor Len Downie gave a lecture in the U.K. Wednesday night that was, for the most part, a pretty standard rundown of what the U.S. Lipitor price, journalism ecosystem looks like from a traditional-media perspective. What got the headlines, though, was Downie's dismissal of online aggregators as "parasites living off journalism produced by others." Gawker's Hamilton Nolan gave it an eye-roll, and Terry Heaton pushed back at Downie, too. Lipitor Over The Counter, Earlier in the week, media analyst Frederic Filloux broke down the differences between the good guys and bad guys in online aggregation.

— The New York Times published an interesting story on the social news site Digg and its redesign to move some power out of the hands of its cadre of "power" users. The Next Web noted that Digg's traffic has been dropping pretty significantly, Lipitor schedule, and Drury University j-prof Jonathan Groves wondered whether Digg is still relevant.

— A couple of hyperlocal tidbits: A new Missouri j-school survey found that community news site users are more satisfied with those sites than their local mainstream media counterparts, and Poynter's Rick Edmonds posited that speed is less important than news orgs might think with hyperlocal news.

— Finally, a couple of follow-ups to Dean Starkman's critique of the journalism "hamster wheel" last week: Here at the Lab, Nikki Usher looked at five ways newsrooms can encourage creativity despite increasing demands, and in a very smart response to Starkman, Reuters' Felix Salmon argued that one of the biggest keys to finding meaning in an information-saturated online journalism landscape is teaching journalists to do more critical reading and curating.

Tramadol For Sale

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Tramadol For Sale, on Sept. 10, 2010.]

An uneasy move into the world of web metrics: As CUNY j-prof C.W. Anderson declared on Twitter, this was "obviously the week of news metrics," so it's probably best to start there. Australia, uk, us, usa, The discussion was kicked off Monday by a New York Times feature on traditional news organizations beginning to pay more attention to their online traffic numbers — something most other websites have been doing religiously for years, but a relative novelty for traditionally one-way institutions such as the Times and The Washington Post. The Times' Jeremy Peters painted a picture of the Post's newsroom that didn't look all that different from Gawker Media in this respect: Traffic data gets displayed on a screen in the newsroom, emailed daily to staff members, and has played a role in staff-cutting decisions.

Still, editors at America's most prominent newspapers (the Times, the Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The Los Angeles Times were the four examined) were careful to note (somewhat dubiously) that they don't let that traffic dictate what they write about, Tramadol For Sale. The Post's media critic, Howard Kurtz, herbal Tramadolweighed in on the phenomenon with some concern, pondering the balance between pushing for traffic and protecting a storied brand like the Post's or the Times'. "They can't simply abandon serious news in favor of the latest wardrobe malfunction without alienating some of their longtime readers," he said of the two papers. "What they gain in short-term hits would cost them in long-term reputation."

Naturally, Ordering Tramadol online, Gawker tweaked Kurtz for his paternal unease about the issue, mocking the idea that knowing and adjusting for what readers care about represents a threat to journalism. Econsultancy's Patricio Robles remarked that the Times didn't find any evidence of major news organizations being corrupted by the use of their traffic numbers and wondered why newspapers don't go further, like testing multiple versions of the same story. Tramadol For Sale, Meanwhile, Columbia researchers released a study that found that news organizations use metrics that vary widely in their measurements of online traffic, leading to confused editors and hesitant advertisers. The Columbia Journalism Review adapted the study into an article by Lucas Graves on the web's too-much-information problem and its effect on news organizations: "The Web has been hailed as the most measurable medium ever, and it lives up to the hype. The mistake was to assume that everyone measuring everything would produce clarity." On the other hand, online buy Tramadol without a prescription, Graves said, news decisions have been made easier in other media (like, say, TV) where metrics were not necessarily more accurate, but more unanimous.

Google Instant's impact on search: This week, Google unveiled another tool that might eventually have a significant effect on that web traffic: Google Instant, a change to its web search function (though it's coming to browsers soon) that allows users to see results for predicted searches as they type. Essentially, it takes Google's autocomplete feature and shows the results of those possible searches as well as the search terms themselves. Here, let Search Engine Land explain it to you — they're good at this, and they have pictures, Tramadol For Sale.

Google is selling this feature on the idea that it makes searching faster, though like Scott Rosenberg, Tramadol overnight, I'm not too interested in that aspect. (As TechCrunch's Erick Schonfeld pointed out, the bigger change is in the volume of search results you'll be processing, not the speed with which you'll get them.) The more significant issue is what this might do to industry of search-engine optimization. Google noted that websites and keyword ads will see some fluctuations in the number of impressions they get, Tramadol without prescription, and The Guardian has asuperb explanation of how SEO works and what Google Instant might do to it.

PR expert Steve Rubel was the first to speculate that Google Instant could kill SEO, arguing that it will serve as feedback that allows people to change their searches in real-time, rejecting inadequate search results and personalizing the web for themselves. "Google Instant means no one will see the same web anymore, making optimizing it virtually impossible," he said. (The Guardian Tramadol For Sale, also noted that if users are signed into their Google account, their results will also be personalized based on their web history.)

Quite a few people leaped to refute Rubel's point, with ReadWriteWeb quoting a marketer who speculated that top search results and "long-tail search" would gain even more value. Other arguments for the continued existence of SEO: as long as people are using search engines to find information, Tramadol used for, that information will need to be optimized (Search Engine Land); Google's search is still only as good as the content it finds (Econsultancy); SEO experts have already been planning around personalized search and Google Suggest (Vanessa Fox); and they'll continue to adapt to this increased personalization (Google's Matt Cutts).

couple of people made the interesting case that Google Instant will actually reduce the individuality in web search: Searchers will stop once they see results for a popular search that's close enough to what they were looking for, the argument goes. Web entrepreneur Bob Warfield put the point well: "Instant Search will substitute popular searches for those individually created. More people will be driven off the back roads search trails and onto the superhighways that lead to whomever controls the first few search results connected to the Instant Searches Google is recommending at the time." It's a possibility that could have damaging implications for serendipity in finding alternative news voices online, too. Tramadol pics,

NPR's targeted local push: We've been hearing for a while about NPR's new local-news web initiative, and this week NPR formally launched it as The Argo Network, a set of a dozen websites run by public-radio stations on specific local issues. PaidContent's Staci Kramer took a close look at what the network's sites look like and the thinking behind them, with NPR execs noting that the network's reporter-bloggers will take a web-first approach and that the underlying philosophy isn't much different from AOL's Patch hyperlocal-news project, Tramadol For Sale. The funding is, however; the project has $3 million to last it through next year, compared with Patch's gobs o' cash.

SF Weekly's Lois Beckett talked to NPR's Matt Thompson about the reporting ethos of the project: A focus on a passionate niche audience, Tramadol interactions, curation and community-building, and an emphasis on the news stream and news developments' context within larger stories. Here at the Lab, Ken Doctor was impressed by the indications that the project will be able to create and multiply audiences for itself and its member stations. "Like Silicon Valley startups, the effort is about building a product that seems to meet a clear audience need, About Tramadol, building that audience — and then finding a sustainable business model," he wrote. "That’s what has built companies for decades in the valley, and it’s in contrast to how much of the journalism business has long gotten funded."

Apple's app police and news: Apple issued revised guidelines for its App Store this week, summarized nicely at Daring Fireball and a little more comically at TechCrunch. You can find plenty of commentary Tramadol For Sale, on this from the developers' perspective, but there's a significant journalistic angle to this as well, as Apple's app store policies have generatedlittle bit of consternation in the past year.

Apple is using the "we'll know it when we see it" approach to determining what's inappropriate content, which Scott Rosenberg saw as pretty problematic for a platform that Apple's billing as the New Newsstand, Tramadol price, coupon. After running down excerpts from the guidelines in which Apple threatens imposing new rules on the spot and retaliating against developers who give them bad press, Rosenberg wrote, "Now read these questions from the perspective of a writer or journalist or publisher, not a software developer, and tell me they don’t give you the willies."

The Lab's Joshua Benton also examined Apple's rules from a news perspective, Tramadol reviews, expressing frustration at its limitation of its new political satire exception to professionals. "Defining who is a 'professional' when it comes to opinion-sharing is sketchy enough, but when it includes political speech and the defining is being done by overworked employees of a technology company, it’s odious," Benton said.

Reading roundup: Lots of interesting smaller discussions to poke around in this week. Here's a sampling:

— Two must-read pieces of advice for new journalists and journalism students: Jay Rosen's adaptation of his lecture last week (also linked to here last week) on the new users of journalism and how to serve them best, and Mark Briggs' case for studying journalism right now, Tramadol australia, uk, us, usa.

— We got the second quarter's ad numbers for newspapers, which were either a relief (according to the Newspaper Association of America) or another in a seemingly neverending series of low points (according to industry analyst Alan Mutter), Tramadol For Sale. In other depressing statistics, a report found that mainstream journalism jobs in the U.K. have decreased by nearly a third in the last decade.

— At TechCrunch, online video executive Ashkan Karbasfrooshan made his case against content farms from a marketing perspective ("should content producers really be conveying the fact that we’re cheap dates?"), Tramadol online cod, while web veteran John Battelle wrote a long, thoughtful post on whether one of those content farms, Demand Media, can adapt to an increasingly social web.

— New York Times Publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. urged media companies to be risk-takers in charging for content and finding sustainable business models online. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, meanwhile, said he sees much more of a future in paid mobile apps than in online news paywalls.

— Finally, two longer pieces to spend some time with this weekend: The Lab published a version of Kimberley Isbell's fabulously helpful primer on aggregation and copyright law, and TechCrunch's Paul Carr wrote an ode to Adam Penenberg's hybrid breaking-news/long-form journalism on Twitter. Great stuff, both.
