Rethinking political fact-checking: PolitiFact, the fact-checking organization launched in 2007 by the St. Petersburg Times,named its lie of the year this week, Flagyl interactions, and the choice wasn't a popular one: The Democratic claim that Republicans voted to end Medicare was widely denounced among liberal observers (and some conservative ones) as not actually being a lie. As the Washington Monthly's Steve Benen noted, the Medicare claim only finished third in PolitiFact's reader voting behind two Republican lies, leading to the widespread belief, as Benen and the New York Times' Paul Krugman expressed, that PolitiFact chose a Democratic claim this year to create an appearance of balance and placate its conservative critics who believe it's biased against them.

This sort of liberal/conservative bias sniping goes on all the time in political media, canada, mexico, india, but this issue got a bit more interesting from a future-of-news perspective when it became an entree into a discussion of the purpose of the burgeoning genre of "fact-checking" news itself. At Mother Jones, Adam Serwer argued that the reason fact-checking sites exist in the first place is as a correction to the modern sense of news objectivity as a false sense of balance, as opposed to determining the truth — something he said even the fact-checking sites are now succumbing to, Purchase Flagyl.

Several others decried fact-checking operations as being, as Salon's Glenn Greenwald put it, a "scam of neutral expertise." Forbes' John McQuaid said PolitiFact "is trying to referee a fight that, frankly, Flagyl from canadian pharmacy, doesn't really need a referee." Gawker's Jim Newell was more sweeping: "why does anyone care what this gimmicky website has to say, ever?" He argued that fact-checking sites' designations like "pants on fire" and "Pinocchios" are easily digestible gimmicks that lend them a false air of authority, obscuring their flaws in judgment. And the Washington Post's Ezra Klein called the fact-checking model "unsustainable," because it relies on maintaining legitimacy in the eyes of both sides of a hopelessly fractured public.

At The New Republic, Alec MacGillis made the point that fact-checking "invests far too much weight and significance in a handful of arbiters who, Flagyl photos, every once in a while, will really blow a big call." Instead, he said, fact-checking should be the job of every reporter, not just a specialized few. Ordering Flagyl online, Glenn Kessler, the Washington Post's "Fact Checker," responded by saying operations like his aren't intended to be referees or replace reporting, but to complement it. PolitiFact's Bill Adair stood by the organization's choice and said fact-checking "is growing and thriving because people who live outside the partisan bubbles want help sorting out the truth."

An abrupt change at the Times Purchase Flagyl, : New York Times Co. CEO Janet Robinson surprised Times staffers late last week with the sudden announcement of her retirement, and some details have trickled out since then: Reuters reported that she'll get a $15 million exit package and that she and company chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr. clashed at times, buying Flagyl online over the counter, and the Wall Street Journal reported (paywall) that much of the dissatisfaction with Robinson was over her digital strategy. The Atlantic's Adam Clark Estes summed up the reporting and speculation on Robinson's forced departure by saying that she didn't get along with her bosses, and the Times felt it needed a technologist.

With no successor in sight, GigaOM's Mathew Ingram gave the blueprint of what he would do with the paper: Scale back the paywall, Order Flagyl from mexican pharmacy, and go deeper into apps, events, and e-books. CUNY j-prof Jeff Jarvis proposed a "reverse meter" for the Times — pay up front, then get credit for reading and interacting that delays your next bill. He acknowledged that it wouldn't work in practice, but said it illustrates the idea that paywalls should reward loyal customers, not punish them, Purchase Flagyl. Ingram picked up on the idea and threw out a few more possibilities.

In reality, the Times is in the process of making quite a different set of moves: It's talking about selling off its 16 regional newspapers, not including the Boston Globe, order Flagyl online c.o.d. Media analyst Ken Doctor broke down the development, explaining that the Times Co. is slimming down its peripheral ventures to focus on the Times itself, particularly its digital operation. Poynter's Rick Edmonds said the possible deal marks a thaw Purchase Flagyl, in the newspaper transaction market.

They found that this year, just like 2010, was dominated by coverage of the economy, though the Occupy movement emerged as a strong subtheme, and foreign news was a major area of coverage, thanks in large part to the Arab Spring movements, order Flagyl from United States pharmacy.

— Big institutions make a stand. Flagyl use, It may be in a continued state of decline, as Martin Langeveld predicted, but Dan Kennedy saw the beginnings of a semi-revival for the newspaper business, accompanied by more paywalls and an feistier defense of their value. On a more ominous front, Dan Gillmor warned of tightening content controls by an oligopoly of copyright holders, government forces, Flagyl pictures, search engines, and others.

— Collaboration and curation. Emily Bell saw an increasing realization by news organizations of the importance of networks as part of the reporting process, Burt Herman described the continued emergence of a real-time, collaborative news network, Buy Flagyl from canada, and Paul Bradshaw and Carrie Brown Smith also saw collaboration as central next year. Vadim Lavrusik saw an increasingly sophisticated curation as part of that news environment.

— Congress' hearings on the Internet censorship bill SOPA adjourned last Friday, with the vote delayed until next year. Cable news finally began acknowledging the story, and the document company Scribd staging an online protest.

— The Wall Street Journal reported on the continued high prices of e-books, a trend that drew criticism from GigaOM's Mathew Ingram and paidContent's Laura Hazard Owen, Flagyl dangers.

Managing reporting errors in the river of news: Though Saturday's tragic shooting of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was primarily a political story, it created several ripples that quickly spread into the media world. (One of those was the debate over our rather toxic climate of political rhetoric, though I'll leave that to other outlets to focus on.) Another issue, Generic Flagyl, more directly related to the future-of-news discussion, regarded how the news spread in the shooting's immediate aftermath.

As Lost Remote's Steve Safran described, several major news organizations, including Reuters, NPR, BBC News, and CNN, is Flagyl addictive, wrongly reported soon after the shooting that Giffords had died — reports that were corrected within a half-hour. NPR in particular devoted quite a bit of space to explaining its error, with social media editor Andy Carvin, ombudsman Alicia Shepard, and executive editor Dick Meyer all weighing in, Order Flagyl.

There was plenty of scrutiny from outside, too: Poynter's Mallary Jean Tenore called the mishap "understandable, but not excusable," and The Next Web's Chad Catacchio suggested that Twitter use editorial judgment to ensure that inaccurate information isn't highlighted in its Top Tweets. Salon's Dan Gillmor cited the situation as a reminder of Clay Shirky's line that "fact checking is down, Flagyl online cod, but after-the-fact checking is way up." Gillmor also posted an appropriate excerpt from his book, Mediactive, urging all of us to take a "slow news" approach to breaking news stories. Seattle TV journalist Paul Balcerak took the opportunity to remind both journalists and their audiences to ask "How do you know that?"

The erroneous tweets launched a parallel discussion on just what exactly to do with them: Leave them there. Delete them. Order Flagyl, Correct them. The debate began in the comments of Safran's Lost Remote post, with NPR's Carvin explaining why he left his faulty tweet as is. WBUR's Andrew Phelps explained why he made the same decision, Flagyl treatment, and ex-Saloner Scott Rosenberg defended both of them in two posts, suggesting a corrected retweet might offer a good compromise.

A couple of other new-media angles to the shooting's coverage: The Lab's Justin Ellis and Lost Remote's Cory Bergman looked at the awkward art of publicly making interview requests on Twitter, and Nieman Storyboard highlighted innovative storytelling approaches amid the shooting's chaotic aftermath.

Twitter's stand against secrecy: The ongoing WikiLeaks saga publicly roped in Twitter this week, as news broke of the U.S. Department of Justice issuing an order requesting the Twitter activity of several people involved with the organization, Order Flagyl. Flagyl steet value, Salon's Glenn Greenwald, who posted many of the order's details and a copy of the order itself, also wondered, "did other Internet and social network companies (Google, Facebook, etc.) receive similar Orders and then quietly comply?"

Remarkably, Twitter didn't just quietly comply. The order originally had a gag order preventing Twitter from telling the targets themselves that it was handing over their data, Flagyl brand name, but Twitter challenged it in court and got a new, unsealed order issued, then told the targets about it. Fast Company looked at the likely role of Twitter's attorney, Alexander Macgillivray, in challenging the order, Flagyl without a prescription, and Wired's Ryan Singel praised Twitter for standing up for its users against government, something that hasn't really been a norm among online companies.

Mashable's Vadim Lavrusik examined the potential implications of the order for journalists doing reporting on Twitter and other social media platforms, and Mathew Ingram of GigaOM noted that the episode illustrates how much we rely on single corporate networks within social media. Order Flagyl, The traditional news media, meanwhile, remains lukewarm at best toward WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange, as McClatchy pointed out. At The Columbia Journalism Review, Craig Silverman broke down one manifestation of that cold shoulder — the way mainstream news organizations continue to incorrectly report that WikiLeaks has released hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables, when it has actually released just 2,000, order Flagyl from mexican pharmacy.

Also on the WikiLeaks front, Assange claimed in an interview to have "insurance" files on Rupert Murdoch and his News Corp., and WikiLeaks attacked those who have called for Assange to be hunted down or killed. American WikiLeaks volunteer Jacob Applebaum tweeted about his being detained by the U.S. while re-entering the country, and was profiled by Rolling Stone. And Evgeny Morozov of Foreign Policy argued that WikiLeaks' cause would be best served if it would shift from leaking information to building a decentralized, open Internet infrastructure, Order Flagyl.

Quora hits the scene: The sudden growth of the question-and-answer site Quora is a story that's been building for several weeks, but I thought now would be as good a time as any to get you up to speed on it. The buzz started just after Christmas, when tech guru Robert Scoble wondered whether it could be the next evolution of blogging. MG Siegler of the influential tech blog TechCrunch followed up by saying much the same thing, and talked about using Quora as inspiration for many of his TechCrunch posts. That week, it also received praise from Google's head of user interaction, order Flagyl from United States pharmacy, Irene Au. Order Flagyl, That was the nudge Quora needed to begin some seriously explosive growth, doubling its number of signups twice in about two weeks. Quora, which was founded in 2009 by two Facebook veterans, is a fairly simple site — just questions and answers, not unlike Yahoo Answers and Facebook Questions. But it's managed to keep the quality of questions and answers up, Flagyl dangers, and it's attracted a smart user base heavy on the "cool kids" of the tech world.

The next question, though, was how this rapid growth would shape Quora. The Telegraph's Milo Yiannopoulos predicted that it would get bigger than Twitter, though Vadim Lavrusik of Mashable saw it as more suited to niche communities: "Quora feels heavy, which is of course where it excels, providing in-depth commentary to questions, online Flagyl without a prescription. But that heaviness is unlikely to attract a large audience."

Mathew Ingram of GigaOM questioned whether Quora will be able to maintain its standard of quality as it grows, and Mary Hamilton wrote about Quora's struggles between what its admins want and what its user want, Order Flagyl. Meanwhile, Poynter's Mallary Jean Tenore explored several of the best ways for journalists to use Quora, including looking for ideas for local content and monitoring the buzz around an issue.

Reading roundup: I haven't given you any iPad updates yet, so you know this review can't quite be finished. Very well then:

— We're still talking about the decline of magazine app sales on the iPad, Flagyl australia, uk, us, usa, with The Guardian's Jemima Kiss looking at that disappointment and some publishers' efforts to overcome it. Advertising Age's Simon Dumenco called those sales declines meaningless, but designer Khoi Vinh urged those publishers to stop pouring their resources into print-like tablet products. Order Flagyl, The particular project that everyone's most interested in is Rupert Murdoch's The Daily, which will reportedly be launched next Wednesday with Murdoch and Steve Jobs on stage together. Rex Sorgatz heard that its companion website will have no homepage and be hidden from search engines, and Poynter's Damon Kiesow took a peek at the site's source code for clues.

ReadWriteWeb's Marshall Kirkpatrick said it's a step toward Facebook being able to do what RSS feeds couldn't, Order Flagyl.

— One great piece I missed last week: Paul Ford conceptualized the web as a customer service medium, organized around the central question, "Why wasn't I consulted?" Ryan Sholin applied the concept to online reporting. Flagyl without prescription, — If you're interested in real-time editing and curation, this might be an experiment to watch: Quickish, launched this week by former ESPN-er Dan Shanoff, who is starting by applying that concept to sports commentary and hoping to expand to other areas.

— Finally, three bigger pieces to ponder over the weekend: Dan Gillmor's book excerpt at Salon on surviving the tsunami of information; Forbes' Lewis DVorkin's vision for the news site built on personally branded journalists; and the Lab's Ken Doctor on the metrics that will define news in 2011.
