[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab on Sept. 16, 2011.] Paid and free, side by side: The Boston Globe became the latest news organization to institute an online paywall this week, but it did so in an unprecedented way that should be interesting to watch: The newspaper created a separate paid site, BostonGlobe.com, to run alongside its existing free site, Boston.com. PaidContent has the pertinent details: A single price ($3.99 a week), and Boston.com gets most of the breaking news and sports, while BostonGlobe.com gets most of the newspaper content. The Lab's Justin Ellis, meanwhile, has a look at the lab that designed it all. As the Globe told Poynter's Jeff Sonderman, the two sites were designed with two different types of readers in mind: One who has a deep appreciation for in-depth journalism and likes to read stories start-to-finish, and another who reads news casually and briefly and may be more concerned about entertainment or basic information than journalism per se. The first thing that caught many people's attention was new site's design — simple, clean, and understated. Tech blogger John Gruber gave it a thumbs-up, and news design guru Mario Garcia called it "probably the most significant new website design in a long time." The Lab's Joshua Benton identified the biggest reasons it looks so clean: Far fewer links and ads. Benton (in the most comprehensive post on the new site) also emphasized a less noticeable but equally important aspect of BostonGlobe.com's design: It adjusts to fit just about any browser size, which eliminates the need for mobile apps, making life easier for programmers and, as j-prof Dan Kennedy noted at the Lab, a way around the cut of app fees required by Apple and others. If the Globe's people "have figured out a way not to share their hard-earned revenues with gatekeepers such as Apple and Amazon, then they will have truly performed a service for the news business — and for journalism," Kennedy said. Of course, the Globe could launch the most brilliantly conceived news site on the web, but it won't be a success unless enough people pay for it. Poynter's Sonderman (like Kennedy) was skeptical of their ability to do that, though as the Atlantic's Rebecca Rosen pointed out, the Globe's plan may be aimed as much at retaining print subscribers as making money off the web. The Washington Post's Erik Wemple wondered if readers will find enough at BostonGlobe.com that's not at Boston.com to make the site worth their money. — The TechCrunch conflict and changing ethical standards: Last week's flap between AOL and TechCrunch over the tech site's ethical conflicts came to an official resolution on Monday, when TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington parted ways with AOL, the site's owner. But its full effects are going to be rippling for quite a while: Gawker's Ryan Tate called the fiasco a black eye for everyone involved, but especially AOL, which had approved Arrington's investments in some of the companies he covers just a few months ago. Fellow media mogul Barry Diller also ripped AOL's handling of the situation. At the Guardian, Dan Gillmor said that while he doesn't trust TechCrunch much personally, it's the audience's job to sort out their trust with the help of transparency, rather than traditional journalism's strictures. Others placed more of the blame on TechCrunch: Former Newsweek tech editor Dan Lyons said TechCrunch's people should have expected this type of scenario when they sold to a big corporation, and media analyst Frederic Filloux said TechCrunch is a perfect example of the blogosphere's vulnerability to unchecked conflicts of interest. There was more fuel for those kinds of ethical concerns this week, as the winning company at TechCrunch's annual Disrupt competition was one that Arrington invests in. But Arrington had an ethical accusation of his own to make at the conference, pointing out that the New York Times invests in a tech venture capital fund which has put $3.5 million into GigaOM, a TechCrunch competitor. Poynter's Steve Myers detailed the Times' run-ins between the companies it invests in and the ones it covers (and its spotty disclosure about those connections), concluding that even if the conflict is less direct than in blogging, it's still worth examining more closely. As it plunged further into its battle with TechCrunch late last week, AOL was also reported to be talking with Yahoo, which recently fired its CEO, about a merger between the two Internet giants. All Things Digital's Kara Swisher said there's no way the deal would actually happen, and Wired's Tim Carmody called it a "spectacularly crazy idea" and GigaOM's Mathew Ingram agreed, while Business Insider reminded us that they said a year ago that AOL and Yahoo should merge. Meanwhile, the New York Times' David Carr homed in on the core problem that both companies are facing: The fact that people want information online from niche sites, not giant general-news portals. "As news surges on the Web, giant ocean liners like AOL and Yahoo are being outmaneuvered by the speedboats zipping around them, relatively small sites that have passionate audiences and sharply focused information," he wrote. — Facebook opens to subscribers: It hasn't gotten nearly as much attention as some of its other moves, but Facebook took another step in Twitter's direction this week by introducing the Subscribe Button, which allows users to see other people's (and groups') status updates without friending or becoming a fan of them. As GeekWire's Monica Guzman and many others noted, Facebook's "subscribe" looks a heck of a lot like Twitter's "follow." When asked about similar Google+ features at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference, a Facebook exec said it wasn't a response to Google+. Guzman said Facebook is putting down deeper roots by going beyond the limits of reciprocal friendship, and GigaOM's Mathew Ingrampinpointed the reason why this could end up being a massive change for Facebook: It's beginning to move Facebook from a symmetrical network to an asymmetrical one, which could fundamentally transform its dynamics. Still, Ingram said Twitter is much better oriented toward being an information network than Facebook is, even with a "Subscribe" button. The change could have particularly interesting implications for journalists, as Poynter's Jeff Sonderman explained in his brief outline of the feature. As he noted, it may eliminate the need for separate Facebook profiles and pages for journalists, and while Lost Remote's Cory Bergman said that should be a welcome change for journalists who were trying to manage both, he noted that shows and organizations may want to stick with pages. — News Corp.'s scandal widens: An update on the ongoing scandal enveloping News Corp.: A group of U.S. banks and investment funds that own shares in News Corp. expanded a lawsuit to include allegations of stealing, hacking, and anti-competitive behavior by two of the company's U.S. subsidiaries — an advertiser and a satellite TV hardware manufacturer. As the Washington Post's Erik Wemple noted, these are old cases, but they're getting fresh attention, and that's how scandals gain momentum. James Murdoch, the son of News Corp.'s Rupert Murdoch, was also recalled to testify again before members of Britain's Parliament later this fall, facing new questions about the breadth of News Corp.'s phone hacking scandal. The Wall Street Journal examined the scandal's impact on the elder Murdoch's succession plan for the conglomerate, especially as it involves James. The company's executives also announced this week that they've found tens of thousands of documents that could shed more light on the phone hacking cases. — Reading roundup: Here's what else went on this week: — The biggest news story this week, of course, is actually 10 years old: Here's a look at how newspapers marked the anniversary of 9/11, how news orgs used digital technology to tell the story, and a reflection on how 9/11 changed the media landscape. — Twitter introduced a new web analytics tool to measure Twitter's impact on websites. Here's an analysis from Mathew Ingram of GigaOM. — At an academic conference last weekend, Illinois j-prof Robert McChesney repeated his call for public funding for journalism. Here are a couple of good summaries of his talk from fellow j-profs Axel Bruns and Alfred Hermida. — Finally, here's a relatively short but insightful two-part interview between two digital media luminaries, Henry Jenkins and Dan Gillmor, about media literacy, citizen journalism and Gillmor's latest book. Should make for a quick, thought-provoking weekend read.

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab on Sept. 9, 2011.] TechCrunch, ethics, and new notions of journalism: The prominent tech news site TechCrunch tends to find itself in the middle of some controversy or another fairly regularly. Usually they're relatively inconsequential inside baseball, but this week's blowup is by far its biggest, and it spurred some enlightening discussion outside of the tech-news bubble. Here's the quick summary of what happened (the Guardian has a fuller version): Michael Arrington, TechCrunch's founder and editor, launched a venture capital fund to invest in tech companies — the same companies TechCrunch covers. AOL, which bought the site last year, responded by taking him off of TechCrunch and moving him to the business side in an arrangement that no one completely understood. Arrington fired back with an ultimatum: Give TechCrunch total editorial freedom, or sell it back to him. AOL has reportedly countered by booting Arrington entirely. Whatever happens, TechCrunch's MG Siegler said the site won't likely be the same. There were conflicting views on the impact of Arrington's reported ouster, of course — Reuters' Felix Salmon said AOL is losing its top journalist, while Fortune's Chadwick Matlin said the fall of TechCrunch would be good for the tech industry. But the central issue here was the ethics of Arrington's arrangement — investing in the same companies his site covers, something he's been doing openly for years. The critique was articulated most strongly by the New York Times' David Carr, who documented several instances of TechCrunch writing favorable pieces on companies in which Arrington had invested, calling the arrangement "almost comically over the line." All Things Digital's Kara Swisher delivered an angrier version — "A giant, greedy, Silicon Valley pig pile" — and many others were also critical, including the Atlantic's Alexis Madrigal, Rem Rieder of the American Journalism Review, and VentureBeat's Dylan Tweney. TechCrunch had its defenders, too, including Gawker's Ryan Tate, who argued for the hypocrisy of AOL's Arianna Huffington's sudden concern about ethics. The most thorough defenses, though, came from TechCrunch's writers themselves: First, Paul Carr asserted that the new company would have nothing to do with TechCrunch. Then, both Carr and MG Siegler responded to David Carr's column by arguing that their site doesn't have the editorial workflow that its critics assume, and by criticizing the Times for its own ethical conflicts. "Ultimately there is only one thing that matters: information. People don’t care how they get it, just that they get it. If they don’t think they can trust it from one source, they’ll find another way to get it," Siegler wrote. Some observers, like New York mag's Chris Rovzar, called that defense naive. In a terrific post here at the Lab, j-prof C.W. Anderson looked a bit deeper into the ways TechCrunch's philosophy challenges traditional journalism's norms, particularly the site's commitment to transparency as its primary ethical safeguard and its idea of the supremacy of information. There was also the question of whether Arrington should have to abide by journalistic standards in the first place. Arrington asserted that he's not a journalist, and tech pioneer Dave Winer argued that "journalism itself is becoming obsolete." GigaOM's Mathew Ingram countered that journalism is still alive, just evolving and expanding, and j-prof Jeff Jarvis said journalism defies definition, and that's just fine. — A bigger challenge for Digital First: John Paton has grabbed a lot of attention with his rejuvenation of the formerly bankrupt newspaper chain the Journal Register Co., and this week, his project expanded to include a much larger (also formerly bankrupt) company, MediaNews Group, which owns papers such as the Denver Post, St. Paul Pioneer Press, and Detroit News. Though the two companies will remain formally separate, Paton will manage both companies under the auspices of the newly created Digital First Media. Paton briefly reiterated his digitally centered philosophy in a blog post on the move, and GigaOM's Mathew Ingram called him the "patron saint" of the digitally focused, open approach to newspapers, as opposed to the more print-protectionist, paywall-oriented one. Reuters' Felix Salmon said Paton's model of leveraging local sales staff and trusted editorial content for digital revenue makes much more sense than the hyperlocal-en-masse Patch model. There's another important aspect to this deal, though: the Journal Register Co. was bought this summer by Alden Global Capital, a hedge fund that also owns a significant stake in MediaNews and several other newspaper companies. The Lab's Joshua Benton provided some background on that situation, and Ken Doctor predicted that the move "may mark just the beginning of a local newspaper roll-up, resulting in the United States’ first truly national local news(paper) company," noting that Paton's Digital First initiative is also accompanied by major cost-cutting. At the Knight Digital Media Center, Amy Gahran expressed concern that Paton's plans could run aground on an entrenched traditional culture at MediaNews and the impatience of hedge-fund investors. MediaNews also has newly installed paywalls at 23 papers, and Paton told paidContent he isn't sure yet what will happen to them. But one change has already been made: MediaNews' contract with copyright litigant Righthaven has been ended. — WikiLeaks under fire: We talked last week about the inadvertent release of the rest of WikiLeaks' archive of 251,000 diplomatic cables and the fallout that ensued. As it happened, WikiLeaks decided late last week to go ahead and publish all of the unredacted cables themselves, given that they had already been leaked online. The decision led to more criticism — not just from the traditional media, but from others on the web: the Personal Democracy Forum's Micah Sifry, author of a book on WikiLeaks, chastised the organization for the dump, saying it's thrown away the moral high ground. Consultant Tom Watson said WikiLeaks' move has damaged their efforts at transparency and an empowered society, and James Ball, a former WikiLeaks volunteer, made the same point more powerfully by painting a picture of an internal culture at odds with the group's stated ideals of accountability and openness. "WikiLeaks has done the cause of internet freedom – and of whistleblowers – more harm than US government crackdowns ever could," he said. Tech blogger Dave Winer, however, was more troubled by the traditional media's eagerness to blame and ostracize Assange for the incident. It's not about one person, he said, it's about the technology that makes WikiLeaks possible: "They have a method that they have religious feelings about, ones that some of us don't share, and that method is broken by the Wikileaks model." Mediaite's Frances Martel, meanwhile, wondered why no one seemed to care about the documents themselves. — Yahoo fires its CEO: After a tumultuous two-and-a-half-year tenure, Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz was fired this week. The next step for the troubled Internet giant could be to engineer a sale, as CNNMoney's Paul La Monica urged it to do. Plenty of names were tossed around as potential buyers, most recently Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang. The Wall Street Journal detailed what's gone wrong at Yahoo, and Om Malik of GigaOM was one of many who pinned many of the company's failings on its board. Malik called for Yahoo to rid itself of everything that connects it to the Internet's past, and Business Insider's Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry advised Yahoo to "own the fact that it's a media and content company," encouraging a strategy that looks quite similar to AOL's. PaidContent's David Kaplan noted that Yahoo has a lot of ground to make up in display advertising, and Mark Walsh of MediaPost wondered if we'll see more of an emphasis on mobile media from Yahoo now. — Reading roundup: Just a couple more items for this week: — One piece of news to note: Google has killed FastFlip, the magazine-like news presentation tool it launched in 2009. — As we continue to move closer to bona fide campaign season, the Columbia Journalism Review's Greg Marx offered a smart response to Jay Rosen's critique of political journalism last week, defending the usefulness of certain kinds of the much-maligned "horse-race journalism." — On the practical side, Florida j-prof Mindy McAdams put together a handy list of 10 tips to compelling visual storytelling. It's a great resource for professionals, j-profs, and students.

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab on July 18, 2011.] News Corp.'s scandal keeps growing: Rupert Murdoch might have hoped News Corp.'s phone hacking scandal would die down when he closed the British tabloid News of the World last week, but it only served to fuel the issue's explosion. This past week, the scandal's collateral damage spread to News Corp.'s proposed takeover of the British broadcaster BSkyB: Faced with increasing pressure from the British government and the revelation that News Corp. journalists tried to get private records of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, News Corp. dropped the BSkyB bid, which had been a huge part of the company's U.K. strategy. Plenty of other problems are cropping up for News Corp., too. The top lawyer for its U.K. newspaper branch, News International, quit. The company's stock lost $7 billion in four business days at one point. A pre-existing U.S. shareholders' suit expanded to cover the hacking scandal. The Murdochs have to testify before British Parliament this week about the scandal, and the FBI started investigating U.S.-related aspects of the issue. That's all in addition to the ongoing problems News Corp. faces, as detailed by Poynter's Rick Edmonds. The scandal has led quite a few writers to criticize the culture that Murdoch has created at News Corp. Capital New York's Tom McGeveran and Reuters' John Lloyd railed on Murdoch and News Corp.'s character, Carl Bernstein called this Murdoch's Watergate, and the Observer's editorial board called for systemic reforms in Britain so Murdoch's influence can never be so strong. Members of the Bancroft family said they wouldn't have sold the Wall Street Journal to Murdoch in 2007 if they'd have known the hacking was going on. On the other hand, the New York Times pointed out that sleazy British tabloid tactics are hardly limited to Murdoch, and media critic Howard Kurtz noted that they're very much alive in the U.S. mainstream press, too. New York Times columnist Roger Cohen defended Murdoch, saying he's been good for journalism on the whole, and Gawker's John Cook defended those tabloid reporting tactics. Meanwhile, j-prof Jeff Jarvis and the Telegraph's Toby Harnden urged the British government not to respond by enacting more regulation. News Corp.'s retreat might not stop with News of the World and BSkyB. Murdoch biographer Michael Wolff and others have reported that the company's execs are debating whether to get out of Britain's newspaper business entirely, and several observers chimed in to say that might actually make a good deal of business sense. Media analyst Ken Doctor said News International is losing steam, and the Financial Times' John Gapper said newspapers are becoming far more trouble than they're worth to Murdoch. Not only that, but the New Yorker's John Cassidy said dropping his U.K. newspapers could let Murdoch revive his BSkyB bid, and Jeff Jarvis speculated that when Murdoch chooses between the power that the papers give him and the money saved by getting rid of them, he'll choose the money. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Murdoch called the rumors of a newspaper sell-off "rubbish." But just because News of the World and News International may be dead and dying, that doesn't mean newspapers as a whole are, argued David Carr of the New York Times. As he noted, it was the Guardian's dogged reporting that finally broke this story open. Murdoch "prefers his crusades to be built on chronic ridicule and bombast. But as The Guardian has shown, the steady accretion of fact — an exercise Mr. Murdoch has historically regarded as bland and elitist — can have a profound effect," Carr wrote. The Atlantic also had praise for the Guardian, and Poynter's Mallary Jean Tenore interviewed one of its editors about the lonely journey of covering the phone hacking story. — HuffPo aggregation under the microscope: A lively discussion about the rights and wrongs of aggregation developed last week out of a column by Ad Age media critic Simon Dumenco, who complained that the Huffington Post had extensively summarized one of his posts, buried the link to the original, and — contrary to Arianna Huffington's argument that her site benefits those they aggregate by sending them readers — gave him just 57 page views. The Huffington Post responded by apologizing and suspending the article's writer. HuffPo business editor Peter Goodman told Adweek the piece was a fully formed article when it should have been a simple introduction and a link, but Dumenco responded to the apology by arguing that the writer did nothing out of the ordinary — this is just how HuffPo tells its writers to do it. Dumenco's point was echoed by several others: The Awl's Choire Sicha said the suspended writer was doing what she was taught, Gawker's Ryan Tate, drawing on a revealing quote from a former HuffPo writer, made the same point: "This is pretty ridiculous, given HuffPo's systematic, officially-sanctioned approach to rewriting too much of people's news articles." British journalist Kevin Anderson called HuffPo's summary-heavy aggregation "a pretty cynical strategy," and paidContent's Staci Kramer said HuffPo needs to respect its sources, rather than treating a link as a favor. Gabe Rivera, whose news site, Techmeme, was compared to HuffPo favorably by Dumenco, looked for terms to distinguish what his site does from what HuffPo does. Poynter's Julie Moos said some measure of originality will always make for better journalism and a better business model than heavy aggregation, and ZDNet's Tom Foremski pined for the old blogging mentality whose goal was to add value. In a short podcast, author Steven Rosenbaum said this is a logical time to step back and evaluate exactly what constitutes ethical aggregation. There were a few dissenters, though: GigaOM's Mathew Ingram and Slate's Jack Shafer both argued that the type of aggregation that HuffPo does has been around for ages in traditional media (especially in Britain, according to Forbes' Tim Worstall). In fact, Shafer said, news orgs could learn a something valuable from the Huffington Post: "That a huge, previously ignored readership out there wants its news hot, quick, and tight." — Comparing Google+, Facebook, and Twitter: It's been just about three weeks since Google+ launched, and Google's new social network is growing like a weed, with estimates of as many as 10 million users so far. (Its number of active users may soon be approaching Twitter's figures.) Google+ news has dominated Twitter, and Google's also working on integrating it with Gmail. With Plus' incredible growth, tech observers have been going back and forth about what social network Google+ is disrupting most. PCWorld's Megan Geuss wondered whether Google+ and Facebook can coexist, and PC Magazine's John Dvorak posited that all the excitement about Google+ is more or less just pent-up frustration with Facebook. The New York Times' David Pogue and Technology Review's Paul Boutin both compared Google+ favorably to Facebook, largely because of its superior privacy controls (though GigaOM's Mathew Ingram pointed out that it may not be a privacy improvement for some people). Meanwhile, Search Engine Land's Danny Sullivan said Google+ is more comparable to Twitter, then went ahead and made a thorough, smart comparison between the two. The Atlantic's Alexis Madrigal said Google+ might end up being more conversational than Twitter, which he called more of a call-and-response: Google+ "won't be as good at connecting people to information or each other quickly, but it might be better at longer form discussions and whatever we call the process by which people pull reasoned thoughts from their networks into public discourse." Hutch Carpenter said Google+ resembles both Facebook and Twitter, and Computer World's Mike Elgan wrote that it'll disrupt just about everything. Still, Google+ has its limits: ReadWriteWeb's Marshall Kirkpatrick explained why he'd never move his personal blog there as some are doing, and Instapaper's Marco Arment and the Guardian's Dan Gillmor both urged readers to keep a space for their own online identity outside of spaces like Google+ or Facebook. For journalists feeling out Google+, Meranda Watling of 10,000 Words put together a preliminary guide. — Reading roundup: Here's what else people were talking about this past week: — The newspaper chain MediaNews made a distinctive play for the tablet news market last week, announcing the launch of TapIn, a location-based news app made specifically for tablets. It'll start in the Bay Area in partnership with the San Jose Mercury News. Ken Doctor, Jeff Sonderman, and Mathew Ingram all wrote about what makes it worth watching. — The Economist continued running pieces all week in its series on the future of the news industry. You can check out several writers'reasons for optimism or read the opening statements in an ongoing debate between NYU's Jay Rosen and author Nicholas Carr about whether the Internet has been good for journalism. — Boston Globe developer Andy Boyle made his pitch for young journalists to go into web development, or as he put it, "learn to make the internets." — Poynter's Jeff Sonderman put together two great social media how-to's for journalists: One on verifying information on social media, and the other on strategies for engagement on Facebook. — Finally, NYU's Clay Shirky gave us another thoughtful essay on the unbundling of news and why the news ecosystem needs to be chaotic right now. In the end, though, here's what he believes news should be: "News has to be subsidized because society’s truth-tellers can’t be supported by what their work would fetch on the open market"; "news has to be cheap because cheap is where the opportunity is right now"; and "news has to be free, because it has to spread."

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab on April 1, 2011.] Putting the Times' pay plan in place: If you read last week's review, the first half of this week's should feel like déjà vu — lots of back-and-forth about the wisdom of The New York Times' new online pay plan, and some more hand-wringing about getting around that plan. If you want to skip that and get to the best stuff, I recommend Staci Kramer, David Cohn, and Megan Garber. The Times launched its pay system Monday with a letter to its readers (snarkier version courtesy of Danny Sullivan), along with a 99-cent trial offer for the first four weeks and free access for people who subscribe to the Times on Kindle. Times digital chief Martin Nisenholtz gave a launch-day talk to newspaper execs, highlighted by his assertion that the link economy is not a win-win for content producers and aggregators. Meanwhile, the discussion about the paywall's worth rolled on. You can find a good cross-section of opinions in this On Point conversation with Ken Doctor, the Journal Register's John Paton, The Times' David Carr, and NYTClean creator David Hayes. The plan continues to draw support from some corners, including The Onion (in its typically ironic style, of course) and PC Magazine's Lance Ulanoff. Former Financial Times reporter Tom Foremski and Advertising Age columnist Simon Dumenco both made similar arguments about the value of the plan, with Foremski urging us to support the Times as a moral duty to quality journalism and Dumenco ripping the blogosphere's paywall-bashers for not doing original reporting like the Times. And though the opposition was expressed much more strongly the past two weeks, there was a smattering of dissent about the plan this week, too — some from the Times' mobile users. One theme among the criticism was the cost of developing the plan: Philip Greenspun wondered how the heck the Times spent $40 million on planning and implementation, and former Guardian digital head Emily Bell wrote about the opportunity cost of that kind of investment. BNET's Erik Sherman proposed that the Times should have invested the money in innovation instead. A few other interesting thoughts about the Times' pay plan before we get to the wall-jumping debate: Media consultant Judy Sims said the plan might actually make the Times more social by providing an incentive for subscribers to share articles on social networks to their non-subscribing friends. Spot.Us' David Cohn argued that the plan is much closer to a donation model than a paywall and argued for the Times to offer membership incentives. And Reuters' Felix Salmon talked about how the proposal is changing blogging at the Times. PaidContent's Staci Kramer said the Times is fighting an uphill battle in the realm of public perception, but that struggle is the Times' own fault, created by its way-too-complicated pay system. — The ethics of paywall jumping: With the Times' "pay fence" going into effect, all the talk about ways to get around that fence turned into a practical reality. Business Insider compiled seven of the methods that have been suggested: A browser extension, Twitter feeds, using different computers, NYTClean and a User Script's coding magic, Google (for five articles a day), and browser-switching or cookie-deleting. Mashable came up with an even simpler one: delete "?gwh=numbers" from the Times page's URL. Despite such easy workarounds, the Times is still cracking down in other areas: As Search Engine Land's Danny Sullivan noted, it blocks links from all Google sites after the five-articles-per-day limit is reached. The Times also quickly (and successfully) requested a shutdown of one of the more brazen free-riding schemes yet concocted — NYT for a Nickel, which charged to access Times articles without paywall restrictions. (It did, however, let up on unauthorized Twitter aggregators of Times content.) So we all obviously can crawl through the Times' loopholes, but should we? A few folks made efforts to hack through the ethical thicket of the Times' intentional and unintentional loopholes: Times media critic James Poniewozik didn't come down anywhere solid, but said the Times' leaky strategy "makes the paywall something like a glorified tip jar, on a massive scale—something you choose to contribute to without compulsion because it is the right thing" — except unlike those enterprises, it's for-profit. In a more philosophical take, the Lab's Megan Garber said the ethical conundrum shows the difficulty of trying to graft the physical world's ethical assumptions onto the digital world. — A possible +1 for publishers: Google made a big step in the direction of socially driven search this week with the introduction of +1, a new feature that allows users to vote up certain search results in actions that are visible to their social network. Here are two good explainers of the feature from TechCrunch and Search Engine Land, both of whom note that +1's gold mine is in allowing Google to personalize ads more closely, and that it's starting on search results and eventually moving to sites across the web. The feature was immediately compared to Facebook's "Like" and Twitter's retweets, though it functions a bit differently from either. As GigaOM's Mathew Ingram noted, because it's Google, it's intrinsically tied to search, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. As Ingram said, it's smart to add more of a social component to search, but Google's search-centricity makes the "social network" aspect of +1 awkward, just as Buzz and Wave were. To paraphrase the argument of Frederic Lardinois of NewsGrange: if your +1's go into your Google Profile and no one sees them, do they really make a sound? All this seems to be good news for media sites. Lost Remote's Cory Bergman said that if they essentially become "improve the SEO of this site" buttons, media companies will be pretty motivated to add them to their sites. Likewise, Poynter's Damon Kiesow reasoned that +1 could be a great way for media sites to more deeply involve visitors who arrive via Google, who have typically been less engaged than visitors from Facebook and Twitter. — Shrinking innovation to spur it: This month's Carnival of Journalism focuses on how to drive innovation, specifically through the Knight News Challenge and Reynolds Journalism Institute. Most of the posts rolled in yesterday, and they contain a litany of quick, smart ideas of new directions for news innovation and how to encourage it. A quick sampling: City University London and Birmingham City University j-prof Paul Bradshaw proposed a much broader, smaller-scale News Challenge fund, with a second fund aimed at making those initiatives scale. J-Lab Jan Schaffer said we need to quit looking at innovation so much solely in terms of tools and more in terms of processes and relationships. British journalist Mary Hamilton and Drury j-prof Jonathan Groves both focused on innovation in training, with Groves proposing "innovation change agents" funded by groups like Knight and the RJI to train and transform newsrooms. Also, University of British Columbia j-prof Alfred Hermida opined on the role of theory in innovation, Lisa Williams of Placeblogger advocated a small-scale approach to innovation, and the University of Colorado's Steve Outing had some suggestions for the RJI fellowship program. — The mechanics of Twitter's information flow: Four researchers from Yahoo and Cornell released a study this week analyzing, as they called it, "who says what to whom on Twitter." One of their major findings was that half the information consumed on Twitter comes from a group of 20,000 "elite" users — media companies, celebrities, organizations and bloggers. As Mathew Ingram of GigaOM observed, that indicates that the power law that governs the blogosphere is also in effect on Twitter, and big brands are still important even on a user-directed platform. The Lab's Megan Garber noted a few other interesting implications of the study, delving into Twitter's two-step flow from media to a layer of influential sources to the masses, as well as the social media longevity of multimedia and list-oriented articles. A couple of other research-oriented items about Twitter: A Lab post on Dan Zarrella's data regarding timing and Twitter posts, and Maryland prof Zeynep Tufekci wrote a more theoretical post on NPR's Andy Carvin and the process of news production on Twitter. — Reading roundup: Plenty of other bits and pieces around the future-of-news world this week: — New York Times editor Bill Keller wrote a second column, and like his anti-aggregation piece a couple of weeks ago, this piece — about the value of the Times' impartiality and fact-based reporting — didn't go over well. Reuters' Felix Salmon called him intellectually dishonest, Scott Rosenberg called him defensive, and the Huffington Post's Peter Goodman (a former Times reporter) said Keller misrepresented him. — A few notes on The Daily: Forbes' Jeff Bercovici said it was downloaded 500,000 times during its trial period and has 70,000 regular users, and a study was conducted finding that it's more popular with less tech-savvy, less content-concerned users. — Journal Register Co. CEO John Paton talked about transforming newspapers at the Newspaper Association of America convention; he summarized what he had to say in 10 tweets, and Alan Mutter wrote a post about the panel. The moderator, Ken Doctor, wrote a Lab post looking at how long newspapers have left. — I'll send you off with Jonathan Stray's thoughtful post on rethinking journalism as a system for informing people, rather than just a series of stories. It's a lot to chew on, but a key piece to add to the future-of-news puzzle.

[This review was first posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Buy Meclizine Without Prescription, on Jan. 29, Meclizine buy, Order Meclizine no prescription, 2010.]

The iPad’s big reveal: Apple unveiled its new tablet — the unfortunately named iPad— on Wednesday, a week before the Super Bowl, order Meclizine from United States pharmacy, Online buy Meclizine without a prescription, and the buzz was as least as big: The Internet practically broke under the weight of the hype for Apple’s latest product. Rather than bury you in opinions about the specs and perks of the iPad, buy Meclizine online no prescription, Ordering Meclizine online, I’ll focus on what people are saying about the gadget’s potential impact on print and online media, especially journalism, over the counter Meclizine. Order Meclizine online c.o.d, Here goes:

Let’s start with the runup. Print media folks had high hopes that the iPad would revolutionize their industries — even, Meclizine in india, Meclizine overseas, as The New York Times put it, giving old media “a chance to undo mistakes of the past, buy Meclizine without prescription. In three smart posts, the tech sites TechCrunch, Gizmodo and Wired said the iPad could be a tool to change publishing, but, as Jason Kincaid in TechCrunch wrote, “someone will need to deliver the content.” Then there were the pre-emptive debunkers, who argued that the iPad would be “just another distribution platform,” merely a circulation tool for journalism, and a “massive distraction” for newsrooms.

After the announcement, the overwhelming reaction from the tech world was one of disappointment, Buy Meclizine Without Prescription. Meclizine prices, The Guardian has a roundup, and you can itemized lists of iPad beefs by the web giants Mashable, buying Meclizine online over the counter, Meclizine over the counter, Gizmodo and Gawker, as well as new-media-watcher Steve Yelvington, fast shipping Meclizine. Meclizine from canadian pharmacy, But there were a lot of people wowed and encouraged by the iPad announcement: A lot of them were old media people — publishers, as this MediaWeek roundup especially shows, buy Meclizine from canada. Meclizine for sale, As MediaCritic’s Scott Rosenberg observed, the iPad demo played largely to the delight of those who want to mimic the paper experience, Meclizine paypal, Sale Meclizine, but those who see the web as bringing in a new relationship with news seemed to expect more.

Wired and The Big Money gave us a medium-by-medium look at the iPad’s potential impact, and neither was blown away by its possibility for newspapers and magazines, next day Meclizine. Meclizine in us, Between the roundups of Poynter and Alan Mutter and the thoughts of Nieman Journalism Lab director Joshua Benton, we have a pretty good spectrum of sensible takes from media-watchers from a variety of backgrounds.

A few points in the discussion worth highlighting: A number of tech writers — Twitter engineer Alex Payne, Meclizine in australia, Online buying Meclizine hcl, Rafe Colburn and j-prof C.W. Anderson — have noted that Buy Meclizine Without Prescription, the iPad is fundamentally a closed platform, designed more to secure market share for Apple than to perpetuate the web’s openness. (They’ve got a point.) Second, Meclizine to buy online, Rx free Meclizine, quite a few others have pointed out that the iPad is a content consumption device, not a content creation one, real brand Meclizine online. Purchase Meclizine online, This has several implications: It appeals to a different audience than most new tech products (the casual, “lean-back” user, buy Meclizine without a prescription, Meclizine in mexico, says Jason Fry; the content-inhaling youth of the world, says David Carr), Meclizine medication. Where can i find Meclizine online, It makes content creation critical (see TechCrunch and Wired), and, Meclizine in uk, Meclizine trusted pharmacy reviews, as NYU professor Jay Rosen put it, it turns the nature of the Internet from the “read write web” back into the “read only” web.

Ultimately, Meclizine to buy, Buy Meclizine online without prescription, the iPad’s utility for journalism is going to come down to the quality of content that news organizations create for it. Is that content going to be regressive, trying to recreate a print experience and neutering the power of a new tool, buy Meclizine online cod. Buy cheap Meclizine, Or is it going to be rich, web-native and innovative, Meclizine craiglist, Meclizine prescriptions, giving users an experience and value they haven’t had until now. (Will Bunch, Judy Sims and Alan Jacobson make similar points quite succinctly and eloquently.)

How leaky will the Times’ paywall be?: The biggest topic in journalism B.T, Buy Meclizine Without Prescription. (Before Tablet) was The New York Times’ proposed paywall, Meclizine from international pharmacy, Meclizine gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, and specifically, parsing the impact of Times execs’ statement that anyone coming to a Times article through “another Web site” will get free access to that article, buy Meclizine online with no prescription, Where to buy Meclizine, without it counting toward their metered tally of page views. NYU professor Jay Rosen was the first to draw attention to the implications of that provision, Meclizine tablets, Buy Meclizine online without a prescription, concluding, “That looks a lot less like a pay wall to me, Meclizine in canada. Buy Meclizine no prescription, It isn’t a metered system if I can access the Times via the link economy without limit.”

In that case, Reuters’ Felix Salmon argued, cod online Meclizine, Meclizine trusted pharmacy reviews, online subscribers would be paying not for the Times’ content, but for how they got to it, where to buy Meclizine. Meclizine from canadian pharmacy, Or, as Josh Young put it, order Meclizine from United States pharmacy, Meclizine in uk, the Times is “charging for being ignorant of all doors but the front.” (Some more great back-and-forth on why the Times would want such a flimsy paywall can be found in the Notes and comments of Rosen’s piece.)

Silicon Valley Watcher Tom Foremski and Times contributor Robert Wright acknowledged the paywall’s leakiness, too: Foremski proposed getting linkers to run the Times’ ads, Meclizine buy, Online buying Meclizine hcl, and Wright wanted to add micropayments to the paywall. Steve Yelvington pointed out another big hole in the Times’ metered model: cookies.

Felix Salmon and Gawker’s Gabriel Snyder did the math and found it doesn’t look good for the Times; The Big Money’s Frederic Filloux was more optimistic about the numbers, provided the Times only charges the heaviest users, buy Meclizine online cod. (Salmon is also disappointed Buy Meclizine Without Prescription, that the Times has given up on the dream of being so essential that it can make big bucks from a free site.) If you want to do some number-crunching of your own, the Nieman Journalism Lab’s Jonathan Stray has a nifty little tool for you.

Newsday’s 35 online subscribers: Based on sources from an internal meeting, The New York Observer reported the number of subscribers of Newsday’s website since the Long Island newspaper — the nation’s 11th-largest newspaper by print circulation — put up a paywall three months ago, and the tally shocked a lot media observers: 35. MediaDailyNews detailed Newsday’s overall decline in numbers since the wall went up in late October. Meclizine overseas,

Several people — not least Newsday’s own execs — quickly noted the paper’s unique case: It’s owned by Cablevision, and subscribers of the print edition or Cablevision’s cable or broadband access get free access to the site, sale Meclizine. Meclizine in usa, (The paper estimates that amounts to 75 percent of Long Islanders.) As Steve Yelvington noted and Newsday hinted to paidContent, the paywall is much more about giving a free perk to cable and Internet subscribers than actually netting paid website customers. So it doesn’t make much sense to apply this scenario to other similar-sized papers, ordering Meclizine online. Meclizine over the counter, That being said, 35 is an astonishingly low number, Meclizine craiglist, to say the least.

Foursquare’s possibilities for news orgs: Foursquare — a fast-growing, mobile-based social network based on sharing your location — announced its partnership with the free daily paper Canada Metro, the company’s first partnership with a news organization. Metro will add location-specific coverage to Foursquare users, who could receive alerts when they’re near those spots.

On the social media blog Mashable, Jennifer Van Grove described Metro’s Foursquare content as a travel guide book that “unlocks the best a neighborhood has to offer, Buy Meclizine Without Prescription. She calls the relationship symbiotic (mobile utility for Metro, print exposure for Foursquare and local businesses). With mobile news access exploding, this could be part of a future-of-journalism recipe: The tech blog ReadWriteWeb has an intriguing vision of the type of location-aware news and tips that might be possible through services like Foursquare.

Last week, Lehigh j-prof Jeremy Littau said that Foursquare can allow journalists to map out pertinent facts about their communities and help residents explore their neighborhoods. And Sean Blanda advised The New York Times (and other news organizations) to learn from Foursquare’s system of rewarding users.

Taking action in Haiti: Last week’s discussion about whether reporters in Haiti should become involved in the story they’re covering (in this case, particularly reporters serving as doctors) continued into the weekend. The Society of Professional Journalists reiterated its stance that journalists should “avoid making themselves part of the stories they are reporting.” This prompted a barrage of angry Twitter posts by Jeff Jarvis. Tyler Dukes listed them and fired back at Jarvis, while Gazette Communications’ Steve Buttry joined Jarvis’ attack on SPJ. Buy Meclizine Without Prescription, NPR’s “On the Media” brought in a few more takes, and St. Petersburg Times media critic Eric Deggans proposed a middle way: It’s OK to help, but turn the cameras off when you do it.

Reading roundup: If your head isn’t already spinning from the loads of iPad commentary I’ve thrown at you, there are a few pieces from the past week that are well worth a read: First, Alan Rusbridger, editor-in-chief of the British newspaper The Guardian, deftly outlined the state of journalism and argued against paywalls for news orgs in a lecture on Monday. Here’s the summary, the full text (it’s long) and a smart response by Jason Fry questioning Rusbridger’s anti-paywall argument.

Second, The New York Times’ Nick Bilton points out how ingrained sharing, filtering and aggregating have become in the way we live on the web. It’s one of those short, simple pieces that neatly captures a concept that many of us had noticed but hadn’t sharply articulated yet.

Finally, the Knight Digital Media Center’s Michele McLellan — also a fellow at the University of Missouri’s Reynolds Journalism Institute — has a mind-blowingly thorough taxonomy of local news organizations across the country. This is definitely a post you’ll want to save for future reference.

Buy Methotrexate Without Prescription, As The New York Times' media critic, David Carr, noted on Friday, this last week has been a rather momentous one in future-of-journalism happenings. That means I've got a ton to cover, Methotrexate craiglist, Methotrexate in mexico, so I'll try to keep it digestible for you. (Explanation of what I'm doing, purchase Methotrexate, Buy Methotrexate online no prescription, as always, is here.)

— First off, Methotrexate over the counter, Delivered overnight Methotrexate, this was the week real-time search officially took off. On Wednesday morning, Methotrexate gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, Fast shipping Methotrexate, The Wall Street Journal's All Things Digital broke the news that Microsoft had reached an agreement to give its Bing search engine the ability to include Twitter and Facebook status updates. Four hours later, online buying Methotrexate hcl, Methotrexate for sale, we found out that Google, too, Methotrexate prices, Order Methotrexate no prescription, had reached a similar agreement with Twitter (no Google-Facebook marriage, though — that would have been a surprise), Methotrexate from international pharmacy.

So now we have Twitter status updates available on Google and Bing, and Facebook updates on Bing as well, Buy Methotrexate Without Prescription. Buy Methotrexate online with no prescription, The tech blog ReadWriteWeb's Marshall Kirkpatrick has a handy-dandy chart to help us keep all the companies' search strengths and weaknesses straight. He and Adam Ostrow from the social media blog Mashable both note that Microsoft's plan for Facebook search is dependent on Facebook's ability to persuade its users to make their status updates at least semi-public — and Facebook users have a history of fiercely guarding their privacy, sale Methotrexate. Order Methotrexate from United States pharmacy, There's a few different ways to examine the impact of these deals: The New York Times has focused on money, noting that this is likely a huge part of Twitter's answer to the ubiquitous "But how are you going to make money off of this?" question, Methotrexate in us, Buy Methotrexate online without prescription, and then, in turn, online buy Methotrexate without a prescription, Buy Methotrexate online without a prescription, wondering, "How are Microsoft and Google going to make money off of this?"

Several others have been talking about the value of this data, where can i buy Methotrexate online. Purchase Methotrexate online, Catharine Taylor at Social Media Insider thinks most of it is "simply unimportant," which is, Methotrexate pills, Next day Methotrexate, well, nuts, buy cheap Methotrexate no rx. (You seriously can't see how finding out what people are saying right now about a given topic might be slightly valuable?) TechCrunch's Erick Schonfeld posits Buy Methotrexate Without Prescription, (rightly, I think) that the greatest value of this data will be at the aggregate, "firehose" level in the ability to refine search results to reflect real-time results — sort of like an integration of a far more sophisticated version of Google Trends. Methotrexate in uk, Then, of course, rx free Methotrexate, Methotrexate trusted pharmacy reviews, there's the journalism angle. The Columbia Journalism Review's Ryan Chittum asks the same question that I can just about bet Rupert Murdoch and Tom Curley were asking when they heard about the deals: "If tweets are worth money to a search engine, Methotrexate in canada, Methotrexate medication, why isn’t the news?" Meanwhile, tech pioneer Dave Winer, Methotrexate prescriptions, Ordering Methotrexate online, in the most insightful post I've seen on these deals, argues that we should be beyond thinking about what this means for traditional news organizations: Google, order Methotrexate from mexican pharmacy, Buy Methotrexate without a prescription, Microsoft and Twitter are now in the news business themselves.

This is the dawn of a system, buy Methotrexate from mexico, Methotrexate san diego, Winer says, where all of our news "flows through the same pipes, buying Methotrexate online over the counter, Over the counter Methotrexate, and curators pick off the good stuff and route it to people who are interested." And instead of jumping in on this while it's beginning, the moguls of traditional media are sitting on the sidelines, Methotrexate in usa, Buy Methotrexate without prescription, hoping someone will just stop by and decide to pay them — not because they've provided any serious value in this new media ecosystem, but only because they're complaining loud enough, Methotrexate in japan. Saturday delivery Methotrexate, Couldn't have said it better myself. Just read Dave's post, Buy Methotrexate Without Prescription.

— The other big development this week was a report released by former Washington Post executive editor Leonard Downie and UC-San Diego/Columbia University journalism prof Michael Schudson, real brand Methotrexate online, Purchase Methotrexate online no prescription, which was followed by an avalanche of reactions from journalism pundits and scholars. The Nieman Journalism Lab has a fine summary of the report and the Cedar Rapids Gazette's Steve Buttry has a comprehensive roundup of the reaction, order Methotrexate online c.o.d, Order Methotrexate online overnight delivery no prescription, so I won't duplicate their work here.

The aspect of the report that got the most attention was Downie and Schudson's recommendation of several avenues for increased government funding for journalism, Methotrexate in india, Buy Methotrexate no prescription, summed up nicely by Michele McLellan here. And that may be the most valuable thing to come out of this report — it's the first proposal of expanding public funding for journalism to be engaged with seriously by many of The People Who Think About Journalism, Methotrexate paypal, Where can i find Methotrexate online, probably because it's the first proposal that deserves to be taken seriously.

I have my own deep skepticism about publicly funding journalism — though I'm slightly more amenable to starting up new initiatives under the public-media banner Buy Methotrexate Without Prescription, than to using subsidies or tax breaks to prop up flagging newspapers — but it seems that Downie and Schudson's report has finally gotten us past the knee-jerk "Over my dead body!" response to publicly funded journalism, even if the right answer is "No way — but here's why, and I'm still open to hearing some ideas from the other side."

— This week included a watershed moment for the sports blogosphere, too. Deadspin, Methotrexate from canadian pharmacy, Buy Methotrexate online cod, a Gawker Media blog that towers over the sports blogging world, launched a daylong offensive against ESPN after, cod online Methotrexate, Methotrexate discount, according to Deadspin editor A.J. Daulerio, where to buy Methotrexate, Methotrexate overseas, a PR rep for the network brushed aside his questions last month about a rumored affair and suspension by ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips. When the story turned out to be true and was broken by the New York Post last week, Methotrexate to buy, Methotrexate buy, Daulerio retaliated by publishing reports of sexual misdeeds by a mid-level ESPN Radio host and an unknown-to-the-public marketing VP.

The reaction from the sports blogosphere was almost universally negative (though there were exceptions), Methotrexate to buy online, Buy no prescription Methotrexate online, which is notable because so many of those blogs generally operate with a very similar M.O. If you had to boil the sports blogosphere down to just a few of its defining characteristics, one of them would be its fixation on sexual scandals that only tangentially involve sports, Buy Methotrexate Without Prescription. Yet this week we found out that even regarding that, Methotrexate discount, Buy cheap Methotrexate, those blogs have a line. And when even the most powerful sports blog on the Web crossed that line, buy no prescription Methotrexate online, Buy generic Methotrexate, they heard it from their fellow bloggers. If you're interested in diving deeper into this, Methotrexate from canadian pharmacy, the National Sports Journalism Center has a roundup of reactions, Midwest Sports Fans has an audio interview with Daulerio about the flap, and lawyer and former Deadspin associate editor Clay Travis uses the episode to give us a lesson on libel law.

— In the wake of the past few weeks' adventures in news orgs' social media guidelines, veteran journalist Gina Chen has an extremely helpful personal guide to the ethics of social media for journalists, complete with case studies. Buy Methotrexate Without Prescription, Over at MediaShift, meanwhile, Stephen Ward has some tips for news orgs crafting social media policies.

— The nation's 12th-largest newspaper, Newsday on Long Island, has put a paywall around its online content. Newsday execs explain the move at Editor & Publisher, and news business expert Alan Mutter cautions that Newsday's being owned by a cable company makes this move a tough one to replicate.

— Finally, two professors argue at SEED magazine that social media and the explosion of online publishing mean that soon, our society will be characterized not only by nearly universal literacy, but by nearly universal authorship as well. And if you're a journalism student (or a working journalist, for that matter), Publish2's Ryan Sholin has some helpful advice: Be great at one analog craft and one digital craft. Sounds about right.

Buy Glucophage Without Prescription, This week, we've got a few new developments, a load of nifty resources and several more go-rounds in the always-festering paid content debate. Let's get to it, where can i order Glucophage without prescription. Purchase Glucophage, (Explanation here.)

— The biggest news in new media this week was probably the launch last Monday of Google Fast Flip, which allows you to flip through articles across the web while viewing them on their own pages, real brand Glucophage online, Glucophage in mexico, sort of like a scrollable set of screenshots. According to Google, buy Glucophage from canada, Glucophage trusted pharmacy reviews, there are two major (related) goals behind this: To speed up web browsing by eliminating slow load times, and to restore some of the magazine-style experience of flipping through pages online, buy Glucophage no prescription. Glucophage overseas, A quick review of the reviews: The New York Times' David Carr, who saw an in-progress version last summer, buy Glucophage without a prescription, Cod online Glucophage, loves it, calling it "a back-to-the-future moment where readers can once again experience the thrill and serendipity of flipping their way through pages to amusing or enlightening ends." Between this and Google's micropayment idea, buy cheap Glucophage, Ordering Glucophage online, he says it's time to take Google's efforts to help news organizations seriously. Paul Bradshaw at the Online Journalism Blog couldn't agree less, calling Fast Flip an opportunistic joke on a panicking news industry, Buy Glucophage Without Prescription. Alan Warms of Silicon Valley Insider says he also gets a back-to-the-future vibe — in a bad way, fast shipping Glucophage. Rx free Glucophage, Simply put, he says, Glucophage discount, Where can i buy Glucophage online, there's not enough links, and it's driven by publishers instead of consumers, Glucophage tablets. Glucophage from canadian pharmacy, Carr has some company in his rave review, though: Steve Outing — like many others, buy Glucophage online without prescription, Order Glucophage from mexican pharmacy, I'm sure — loves that Google is sharing revenues with publishers. And Publish2 co-founder Scott Karp likes that Google is attempting to create a new user interface for news, where can i find Glucophage online, Glucophage over the counter, rather than just trying to figure out how to charge for it. Buy Glucophage Without Prescription, My take: I'm not sure where to stand on whether to take Google's efforts to help publishers seriously. We don't know the split of ad revenue, Glucophage pills, Where to buy Glucophage, and until we do, we have no idea whether this a bona fide collaborative attempt to solve a problem or just a way to wring a few more dollars from a desperate news industry, Glucophage in usa. Glucophage in australia, As for the product itself, color me unimpressed, where can i order Glucophage without prescription. Where to buy Glucophage, The content simply seems far too haphazardly thrown together. Right now, buy cheap Glucophage no rx, Order Glucophage no prescription, the "recommended" stories in FastFlip are a Washington Post Date Lab, a New York Times article on Amazon, buy Glucophage online no prescription, Glucophage medication, news from the BBC on dementia, a Slate piece on Stephen Baldwin, order Glucophage online c.o.d, Buy cheap Glucophage, a demo conference on Fast Company, and the worst dressed Emmys of all time on Us, Glucophage tablets. Huh, Buy Glucophage Without Prescription. Ordering Glucophage online, Isn't Google's job as the king of search to bring some order to the chaos that is the web. The "Recommended" tab might as well be titled "Browse random articles from three dozen publishers, Glucophage from canadian pharmacy. Glucophage in canada, Hope you like one of them." One person's serendipity is another's jumbled mess.

— In ideas, buy Glucophage no prescription, Buy no prescription Glucophage online, this week has to start with Nieman Reports' massive fall issue on journalism and social media. Buy Glucophage Without Prescription, There's tons of great stuff here and I've barely started to dig into it all, but I already love Matt Thompson's manifesto on the value of Wikipedia or "Giant Pool of Money"-style explainers in news. (Elsewhere, buying Glucophage online over the counter, Order Glucophage from mexican pharmacy, the report gives a great picture of how it works in practice for one paper.) The Nieman Journalism Lab has been highlighting various articles from the report all week, and I plan to have some more thoughts on at least one of them up for you later this week, Glucophage from international pharmacy. Where can i buy Glucophage online, — The political media world has been abuzz about James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles' expose of ACORN, and as C.W, Glucophage to buy online. Buy Glucophage from mexico, Anderson and others have noted, it seems to be the sequel to Mark Bowden's Atlantic article I wrote about last week, Glucophage buy. Where to buy Glucophage, The Columbia Journalism Review picks up where Bowden left off, lamenting the separation of the public into "different fact universes" and notes that the mainstream media should continue the "standard strategy" of giving "balanced" context to stories, Glucophage to buy, Glucophage over the counter, trying to in some sense referee the conflict. Meanwhile, The Daily Beast's Conor Friedersdorf (hardly a conservative himself) uses the episode to argue for the government to allow anyone to record any elected official or anyone else who is paid with any public money, Buy Glucophage Without Prescription.

— On the paid content front, Glucophage paypal, Online buy Glucophage without a prescription, the must-read piece this week is PBS MediaShift's fantastic two-part debate on micropayments between David Carr and Techdirt's Mike Masnick. It functions as a great primer for the arguments on both sides, real brand Glucophage online, Glucophage in mexico, which are articulated by two sharp, eloquent spokesmen, Glucophage in usa. Glucophage price, coupon, I have to say Masnick got the better of this one, and his description of micropayments as "putting up a tollbooth on a 50-lane highway where the other 49 lanes have no tollbooth, Glucophage prices, Glucophage in us, and there's no specific benefit for paying the toll" is the most fitting analogy I've seen yet of the issue. (He also takes down the idea of an antitrust exemption for newspapers along the way.)

Meanwhile, free Glucophage samples, Order Glucophage online overnight delivery no prescription, Steve Outing ponders the tangibility issue of paying for news I noted in the comments section last week, and says the right paradigm might be found in mobile phone apps, where can i find Glucophage online. Editor & Publisher's indefatigable Joe Strupp Buy Glucophage Without Prescription, brings us up to date on newspapers' plans to charge for content online, Ken Doctor sees some real changes signified in several under-the-radar news business moves, and Alan Mutter has good news about a lower ideal pay wall fee and bad news about inflated web traffic stats. Purchase Glucophage online no prescription, — Mashable's Vadim Lavrusik offers seven ways to make news sites more social, and Steve Yelvington gives seven more steps to nurturing that online community, buy Glucophage without a prescription. Fast shipping Glucophage, (Thanks to the wonderful Stephanie Romanski, I'm happy to say my paper has most of Mashable's list covered.)

— This week in depressing journalism industry graphs: BusinessWeek has some awful-looking graphs of jobs in traditional media industries, buy Glucophage without prescription, but Jeff Jarvis wonders if it's as bad as it looks, given that journalism is becoming so decentralized.

— Joshua Michele-Ross of Radar has a short but profound read on why news organizations have been so slow to adapt to change: Because they're institutions. I would guess that any journalist working for a traditional media organization could readily vouch for him here; I know I would.

— Finally, the Cedar Rapids Gazette's Steve Buttry offers two indispensable resources for journalists and j-school students — one incredibly comprehensive list of resources on journalism ethics, and another slightly intimidating yet inspirational list of ways to make yourself a better journalist. These things are golden.
