[This week's review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab on May 20, 2011.] Twitter on the brain: Last week, New York Times executive editor Bill Keller got a rise out of a lot of folks online with one of the shortest of his 21 career tweets: "#TwitterMakesYouStupid. Discuss." Keller revealed the purpose of his social experiment this week in a column arguing, in so many words, that Twitter may be dulling your humanity, and probably making you stupid, too. Here's the money quote: "my inner worrywart wonders whether the new technologies overtaking us may be eroding characteristics that are essentially human: our ability to reflect, our pursuit of meaning, genuine empathy, a sense of community connected by something deeper than snark or political affinity." This, as you might imagine, did not go over particularly well online. There were a couple strains of reaction: Business Insider's Henry Blodget and All Twitter's Lauren Dugan argued that Twitter may indeed be changing us, but for the good, by helping make previously impossible connections. Alexia Tsotsis of TechCrunch and Mike Masnick of Techdirt countered Keller by saying that while Twitter isn't built for deep conversations, it is quite good at providing an entry point for such discussion: "What you see publicly posted on Twitter and Facebook is just the tip of the conversation iceberg," Tsotsis said. GigaOM's Mathew Ingram, meanwhile, defended Twitter's true social nature, and sociologist Zeynep Tufekci gave a fantastic breakdown of what Twitter does and doesn't do culturally and socially. Two of the most eloquent responses were provided by Nick Bilton, one of Keller's own employees, and by Gizmodo's Mat Honan. Bilton pointed out that our brains have shown a remarkable ability to adapt quickly to new technologies without sacrificing old capacities. (Be sure to check out Keller's response afterward.) Honan made a similar argument: Keller, he said, is confusing the medium with the message, and Twitter, like any technology, is what you make it. "If you choose to do superficial things there, you will have superficial experiences. If you use it to communicate with others on a deeper level, you can have more meaningful experiences that make you smarter, build lasting relationships, and generally enhance your life," Honan wrote. — Google gets more local with news: Google News unveiled a few interesting changes in the past week, starting with the launch of "News near you." Google has sorted news by location for a while now, but this feature will allow smartphone users to automatically get local news wherever they are. ReadWriteWeb's Dan Rowinski explained why newspapers should be worried about Google moving further onto their local-news turf, and GigaOM's Mathew Ingram criticized newspapers for not coming up with like this themselves. Poynter's Jeff Sonderman, on the other hand, said Google's feature is still in need of some human curation to go with its algorithmic aggregation. That's an area in which local newspapers can still dominate, he said, but it'll require some technological catchup, as well as a willingness to get over fears about linking to competitors. Another change, not publicized by Google News but spotted by the folks at Search Engine Land, was the addition of an option to allow users to filter out blogs and press releases from their results. This raised the question, what exactly does Google consider a blog? Google told Search Engine Land it relies on a variety of factors to make that decision, especially self-identification. Mathew Ingram ripped this classification, and urged Google to put everything that contains news together in Google News and let readers sort it out. — Fitting linking into news' workflow: A discussion about linking has been simmering on Twitter on and off over the past few weeks, and it began to come together into something useful this week. This round of the conversation started with a post by web thinker and scholar Doc Searls, who wondered why news organizations don't link out more often. In the comments, the Chicago Tribune's Brian Boyer suggested that one reason is that many newspapers' CMS's and workflows are print-centric, making linking logistically difficult. CUNY j-prof C.W. Anderson responded that the workflow issue isn't much of an excuse, saying, as he put it on Twitter: "At this point 'linking' has been around for twenty years. The fact that this is STILL a workflow issue is almost worse than not caring." This kicked off a sprawling debate on Twitter, aptly chronicled via Storify by Mathew Ingram and Alex Byers. Ingram also wrote a post responding to a few of the themes of resistance of links, particularly the notion that information on the web is inferior to information gained by old-fashioned reporting. British journalist Kevin Anderson took on the workflow issue in particular, noting how outdated many newspaper CMS's are and challenging them to catch up technologically: "It’s an industrial workflow operating in a digital age. It’s really only down to ‘that’s the way we’ve always done it’ thinking that allows such a patently inefficient process to persist." — AOL's continued makeover: Another week, another slew of personnel moves at AOL. PaidContent's David Kaplan reported that AOL is hiring "a bunch" of new (paid) editors and shuffling some current employees around after its layoff of hundreds this spring. Overall, Kaplan wrote, this is part of the continued effort to put the Huffington Post's stamp on AOL's editorial products. One of the AOL entities most affected by the shifts is Seed, which had been a freelance network, but will now fall under AOL's advertising area as a business-to-business product. Saul Hansell, who was hired in 2009 to run Seed, is moving to HuffPo to edit its new "Big News" features. In a blog post, Hansell talked about what this means for HuffPo and for Seed. Meanwhile, the company is also rolling out AOL Industry, a set of B2B sites covering energy, defense, and government. But wait, that's not all: AOL's Patch is launching 33 new sites in states targeting the 2012 election. The hyperlocal news site Street Fight also reported that Patch is urging its editors to post more often, and a group of independent local news sites is banding together to tell the world that they are not Patch, nor anything like it. — Reading roundup: As always, plenty of other stuff get to this week. — We mentioned a Pew report's reference to the Drudge Report's influence in last week's review, and this week the New York Times' David Carr marveled at Drudge's continued success without many new-media bells and whistles. Poynter's Julie Moos looked at Drudge's traffic over the years, while the Washington Post disputed Pew's numbers. ZDNet's David Gewirtz had five lessons Drudge can teach the rest of the media world. — A few paid-content items: A Nielsen survey on what people are willing to pay for various mobile services, Poynter's Rick Edmonds on the New York Times' events marketing for its pay plan, and the Lab's Justin Ellis on paid-content lessons from small newspapers. — A couple of tablet-related items: Next Issue Media, a joint effort of five publishers to sell magazines on tablets, released its first set of magazines on Google Android-powered Samsung Galaxy. And here at the Lab, Ken Doctor expounded on the iPad as the "missing link" in news' digital evolution. — Columbia University announced it will launch a local news site this summer focusing on accountability journalism, and the Lab's Megan Garber gave some more details about what Columbia's doing with it. — The Columbia Journalism Review's Lauren Kirchner had an interesting conversation with Slate's David Plotz about Slate's aggregation efforts, and in response, Reuters' Felix Salmon made the case for valuing aggregation skills in journalists. — This weekend's think piece is a musing by Maria Bustillos at The Awl on Wikipedia, Marshall McLuhan, communal knowledge-making, and the fate of the expert. Enjoy.

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Buy Norfloxacin Without Prescription, on June 11, 2010.]

The Times has the Pulse (briefly) pulled: Last week, I noted one of the more interesting iPad news apps: The Pulse Reader, designed by two Stanford grad students, is a stylish news aggregator. But on Monday, Norfloxacin pills, Buy Norfloxacin online without prescription, the app was pulled from the iTunes store based on a claim that it infringes on The New York Times' copyright after some Times folks saw the paper's own blog post about the reader. The app was reinstated the next day, buy Norfloxacin from mexico, Sale Norfloxacin, but the debate over copyright, aggregation and mobile apps had already taken off, buy Norfloxacin online no prescription. Buy Norfloxacin from canada, The central point of the Times' argument was that the $3.99 app was an illegal attempt to make money off of the Times' (and the Boston Globe's) free, publicly available RSS feeds, Norfloxacin over the counter. Norfloxacin in canada, (The paper also objected to app's placement of the Times' content within a frame on the iPad.) The Citizen Media Law Project's Kimberley Isbell helpfully broke down the Times' claims and the Pulse Reader's possible fair-use defenses, noting the Times articles' free accessibility and the relatively small article portions displayed on the reader, Norfloxacin gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release.

Reaction on the web weighed overwhelmingly against the Times: Wired contended that every piece of paid software used to access the Times' site would be outlawed by the paper's logic, while Techdirt's Mike Masnick argued that Pulse was selling its software, not the Times' feeds, Buy Norfloxacin Without Prescription. Ordering Norfloxacin online, GigaOm's Mathew Ingram wondered whether the Times was declaring war on news aggregators, and the Sydney Morning Herald reasoned that if the Times is offering its RSS for free, buy generic Norfloxacin, Where to buy Norfloxacin, it can't complain when someone designs a reader to view it. Blogging and RSS vet Dave Winer had the harshest response in a post arguing that the Times is in the business of news production, purchase Norfloxacin online, Buy Norfloxacin online cod, not distribution: "Look, if the Times is depending on stopping those two kids for its future, delivered overnight Norfloxacin, Buy no prescription Norfloxacin online, then the Times has no future."

The reader's creators were just as baffled as anybody about why the app was reinstated, a Times' spokesman apparently tried to pass off the complaint as a mistake, where can i buy cheapest Norfloxacin online, Order Norfloxacin online overnight delivery no prescription, though that response doesn't exactly square with the Times' Martin Nisenholtz's reiteration of the paper's case to paidContent's Staci Kramer. As for whether this claim would apply beyond the Pulse Reader, buy Norfloxacin without a prescription, Norfloxacin medication, Nisenholtz said it would be handled "on a case by case basis."

We had plenty of other iPad news this week, too — Jobs made a number of mostly iPhone-related announcements at a conference on Monday, buy Norfloxacin online without a prescription, Norfloxacin trusted pharmacy reviews, and the Lab's Josh Benton explained what they mean for mobile news. A few highlights: Apple's not too concerned about app-banning controversies, buy Norfloxacin without prescription, Real brand Norfloxacin online, but it is moving decisively on ebooks and its iAd mobile advertising platform. The AP reported that publishers are seeing encouraging early signs Buy Norfloxacin Without Prescription, about wringing advertising dollars out of the iPad, but Ken Doctor went on a wonderful little rant against publishers that are slow to take advantage of the iPad's capabilities. Meanwhile, Norfloxacin in india, Delivered overnight Norfloxacin, the Wall Street Journal's Robert Thomson slammed news orgs' repurposed "crapps" and talked, with the Journal's Les Hinton, buy Norfloxacin online no prescription, Buy generic Norfloxacin, about his paper's own iPad strategy. And the iPad faced its first major security issue, free Norfloxacin samples, Buying Norfloxacin online over the counter, as the email addresses of its 114,000 owners were exposed by hackers, online buying Norfloxacin hcl. Norfloxacin in us, —

The purpose of the link: A Nicholas Carr post last week ignited a spirited discussion about the relative values of the link, and that conversation continued this week with twin Wall Street Journal columns by Carr and web scholar Clay Shirky debating whether the Internet makes us smarter. Carr said no, Norfloxacin prices, Next day Norfloxacin, using a similar argument to the one he laid out in his earlier post (it's also the central point of his new book): The Internet encourages multitasking and bite-size information, making us all "scattered and superficial thinkers."Shirky said yes, over the counter Norfloxacin, Where can i buy Norfloxacin online, arguing that the Internet enables never-before-experienced publishing and connective capabilities that allow us to put our cognitive surplus to work for a better society. (That's also the central point of his new book.) Quite a few people, Norfloxacin in india, Norfloxacin pills, led by GigaOm's Mathew Ingram, posited that both writers were right - Carr in the short term, Norfloxacin medication, Buy Norfloxacin from mexico, Shirky in the long term.

Here at the Lab, Jason Fry weighed in on the delinkification debate, giving a useful classification of the link's primary purposes — credibility, readability and connectivity, Buy Norfloxacin Without Prescription. Credibility has become a vital function in today's web, order Norfloxacin online c.o.d, Where to buy Norfloxacin, Fry said, though he conceded Carr's point that the link adds to the cognitive load when it comes to readability, Norfloxacin in mexico. Norfloxacin for sale, Based on Carr's original post, the web design firm Arc90 added an option to its browser extension to convert hyperlinks to footnotes, ordering Norfloxacin online. Norfloxacin tablets, The Lab also ran a fantastic three-part series on links by Jonathan Stray exploring four journalistic purposes of the hyperlink (it's essential, he says), where can i buy cheapest Norfloxacin online, Norfloxacin to buy online, examining the way news organizations talk about links (they're a bit muddled) and studying how much those news organizations actually link (not a whole lot, especially the wire services), Norfloxacin in canada. Norfloxacin overseas, It's a tremendously helpful resource for anyone interested in looking at how linking and journalism intersect.

Debate over Newsweek's bidders: We found out about three bidders for Newsweek Buy Norfloxacin Without Prescription, last Thursday, so last Friday was the time for profiles and commentary, much of it centered on the conservative news site and magazine Newsmax. Newsmax's CEO, fast shipping Norfloxacin, Norfloxacin san diego, Christopher Ruddy, told the Washington Post that it has a number of non-conservative media projects, purchase Norfloxacin online, Where can i find Norfloxacin online, so Newsweek wouldn't have to adopt a conservative viewpoint to be part of Newsmax's plans. "Newsmax's success is in its business model, buy cheap Norfloxacin, Saturday delivery Norfloxacin, not just its editorial approach," Ruddy said, Norfloxacin gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release. Buy Norfloxacin without a prescription, Newsweek employees were worried about the prospect of a Newsmax-owned Newsweek, but the New York Times' Ross Douthat, Norfloxacin over the counter, Norfloxacin discount, himself a conservative, said Newsmax's influence could be just the nudge Newsweek needs to hit its sweet spot in America's heartland, Norfloxacin from international pharmacy. Norfloxacin in uk, Chicago magazine profiled another bidder, venture capitalist Thane Ritchie, purchase Norfloxacin, Norfloxacin buy, while the Washington Post reported that audio equipment exec Sidney Harman is considering a bid, too, real brand Norfloxacin online.

Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz devoted a column to the publicly acknowledged bidders, exploring the question of why no major players have emerged as bidders and concluding that the lack of interest "amounts to a no-confidence vote not just on the category of newsweeklies, which have long been squeezed between daily papers and in-depth monthlies, but on print journalism itself." Newsweek, via its Tumblr, ripped apart the work of its Washington Post Co, Buy Norfloxacin Without Prescription. colleague, taking to task for a lack of evidence and disputing his claim that the re-envisioned Newsweek is a flop. (That Tumblr is written by Newsweek social-media guru David Coatney, who got a New York Daily Intel Q&A a couple of days later.) Meanwhile, New York Times columnist David Carr proposed eight ways to revive Newsweek.

A sports blog network goes local: ESPN has been making a well-documented and initially successful local sports media play over the past year, but this week, a very different sports media company is making a push into what used to be local newspapers' territory. SB Nation, a network of more than 250 fan-run sports blogs founded in 2003 by Tyler Bleszinski and Daily Kos' Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, began rolling out 20 city-specific sports media hubs. Buy Norfloxacin Without Prescription, Until now, the company has focused on team-specific (or sport-specific, in the case of some less prominent sports) blogs, but the new sites will aggregate real-time sports news mixed with fan-generated conversation and commentary.

In a New York Times feature, SB Nation's Jim Bankoff said that while his company is trying to provide a ground-up alternative to traditional sports coverage, he'd be happy to collaborate with local newspapers. Former ESPN.com columnist Dan Shanoff echoed that perspective, saying that SB Nation's brand of sharp fan analysis is ripe for media partnerships because "it is something that local newspapers and local cable-sports networks can't or won't do well." Shanoff proposed that SB Nation become a piece of a larger media company's local media strategy, suggesting Comcast as an ideal fit.

Here at the Lab, Bankoff gave Laura McGann a handful of lessons media organizations could learn from the SB Nation model, including tightly focused subject matter and maximizing repeat visitors. SB Nation's team-specific focus seems to be a major component in its success, and could have some ready implications for news organizations, as Bankoff noted: “We’re not fans of sports — we’re fans of teams. We’re not fans of television, Buy Norfloxacin Without Prescription. We’re fans of shows.”

Reading roundup: This week, I've got two news items, a few interesting pieces of commentary and one set of tips.

— Advertising Age reported that AOL is planning to hire hundreds of journalists for a major expansion into news production. At the local media blog Lost Remote, Cory Bergman, who owns a local news network himself, noted that AOL's hyperlocal outfit Patch is making 300 of those hires and wondered what it will mean for local news.

— Los Angeles Times media writer James Rainey wrote a piece on the Las Vegas Review-Journal, a newspaper that has poured legal resources into stopping people who use its content without permission. The Times' Mark Milian also provided a quick guide Buy Norfloxacin Without Prescription, to what's OK and what's not when reposting.

— Publish2's Scott Karp wrote an intriguing essay on the concept of a Content Graph, in which media organizations collaborate through distribution to enhance their brand's value.

— News business guru Alan Mutter sensed a theme among news startups — too much focus on news, not enough on business — and wrote a stiff wakeup call.

— Two journalism/tech folks, Jeff Sonderman and Michelle Minkoff, wrote a bit about what journalism school is — and isn't — good for. Both are worthwhile reads.

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Buy Altace Without Prescription, on June 4, 2010.]

The FTC's ideas for journalism: The U.S. Buy cheap Altace no rx, Federal Trade Commission has spent much of the last year listening to suggestions about how they might change antitrust, copyright and tax laws in order to create the best possible climate for good journalism, buy Altace online without prescription, Cod online Altace, and this weekend it posted its "discussion draft" of policy proposals to "support the reinvention of journalism." It's a 47-page document, so here's a quick summary of their ideas:

— Expand copyright law to protect news content against online aggregators, buy Altace no prescription, Purchase Altace online no prescription, including "hot news" legislation, further limits to fair use and mandatory content licenses, Altace from canadian pharmacy. Order Altace from United States pharmacy, — Allow antitrust exemptions for news organizations to put up paywalls together and develop a unified system to limit online aggregators.

— Tax code changes to make it easier for news organizations to gain tax-exempt status, Buy Altace Without Prescription. Buy Altace online without a prescription, — Pass various FOIA-related laws to make government data easier to access and search.

It's worth noting that the FTC isn't explicitly endorsing these proposals; the draft reads more as a list of possible proposals that might be worth exploring further, Altace craiglist. Order Altace from mexican pharmacy, Still, j-prof and new media pundit Jeff Jarvis saw a perspective of old-media protectionism running through the draft, Altace to buy, Altace in australia, as he tore it apart point by point. The FTC is defining journalism through established news organizations and looking to prop them up instead of supporting visionary startups, order Altace no prescription, Buy Altace online with no prescription, he wrote. "If the FTC truly wanted to reinvent journalism, the agency would instead align itself with journalism’s disruptors, where can i order Altace without prescription. But there's none of that here." Buy Altace Without Prescription, Jarvis' charges were seconded by two newspapermen, the Washington Examiner's Mark Tapscott and the Los Angeles Times' Andrew Malcolm, who likened the proposals to the government trying to save the auto industry by reviving the gas guzzlers of the 1960s. Altace in usa, Steve Buttry of the new Washington news site TBD chimed in, too, buy Altace from canada, Altace paypal, homing in on the assertion that newspapers provide the overwhelming majority of our original news.

Free Press' Josh Stearns responded by cautioning against "throwing the baby out with the bath water, buy Altace without prescription, Altace from international pharmacy, " noting a few of things that he liked about the FTC's proposals. And at the Huffington Post, Altace to buy online, Where can i buy cheapest Altace online, Alex Howard praised the FTC's open-government proposals.

Steve Jobs' pitch for paid news: The folks from the Wall Street Journal's All Things Digital interviewed Apple chief Steve Jobs on stage this week as part of their D8 conference, where can i order Altace without prescription, Altace over the counter, and Jobs had a few words for the news industry: Yes, he wants to help save journalism, real brand Altace online, Altace in canada, because, as he put it, buy Altace from mexico, Altace san diego, "“I don’t want to see us descend into a nation of bloggers myself." But if they're going to survive, news organizations should be more aggressive about getting people to pay for content, Altace prescriptions, Where can i buy Altace online, Jobs said, like Apple did in helping raise e-book prices earlier this year, buy Altace online no prescription.

As it turned out, there was something for everybody to pick apart in that exchange: Ex-Saloner and blogging historian Scott Rosenberg took issue with Jobs' "nation of bloggers" jab, and Steve Safran of the local-news blog Lost Remote said that what Jobs really wants to save is paid, professional journalism, Buy Altace Without Prescription. Buy Altace from canada, GigaOm's Mathew Ingram argued that an "iTunes for news" model that Jobs proposed might benefit Jobs, but probably won't work for news outlets, fast shipping Altace. Altace for sale, And here at the Lab, Laura McGann pointed out a statement Jobs made elsewhere in the interview that rejected Apple app applicants (sorry, Altace trusted pharmacy reviews, Altace in usa, couldn't resist) should simply resubmit their apps, unchanged, over the counter Altace.

To link or not to link?: Author Nicholas Carr, buy cheap Altace, Buy Altace without prescription, who's about to release a book about how the Internet is hurting our ability to think, highlighting one of the points from that book in a blog post this weekend: The link, Altace in uk, Altace in japan, Carr argues, hurts our ability to concentrate and follow an argument, Altace to buy, Buying Altace online over the counter, and in some cases we may be better off without them. Buy Altace Without Prescription, He calls links a high-tech version of the footnote, like little distracting textual gnats buzzing around our heads. "Even if you don't click on a link, your eyes notice it, and your frontal cortex has to fire up a bunch of neurons to decide whether to click or not. You may not notice the little extra cognitive load placed on your brain, buy generic Altace, Order Altace from mexican pharmacy, but it's there and it matters." Carr approvingly noted a couple of experiments in leaving links to the bottom of articles.

ReadWriteWeb's Marshall Kirkpatrick responded with a thoughtful look at the purpose of links, buy Altace online with no prescription, Buy Altace without a prescription, wondering if they really might be better off at the end of articles, and the Columbia Journalism Review's Ryan Chittum was sympathetic to Carr's point as well: "It’s not a trivial question to ask what the Internet is doing to our attention spans, Altace overseas, Altace price, coupon, " he wrote. "I know mine, for one, is shot to hell."

Carr, who's had his runins with the Internet cognoscenti in the past, predictably caught some flak for his post too, including from Mathew Ingram, who argued that links are at least as much an intellectual discipline for the writer as the reader. The Scholarly Kitchen's Kent Anderson noted that links are part of a long academic tradition that includes footnotes and inline citations: "Do they distract. Of course they do, Buy Altace Without Prescription. ... But it’s distraction through addition, if done well." And author Scott Berkun brings up a few variables that others missed, including the skill of the author, web design, and the "open in new tab" function.

'The Twitter of news': The link-sharing site Digg gave a preview of its new version, which will implement some Twitter-like features and emphasize the news links that the people you follow have shared, rather than just the top overall links. The net effect is an attempt to become, as GigaOm's Liz Gannes put it, "the Twitter of news." That, of course, raises the question, "Isn't Twitter already the Twitter of news?" But Digg's advantage, founder Kevin Rose says, is that it does away with the status updates and Justin Bieber memes and gives you purely socially powered links and news.

Tech pioneer Dave Winer was intrigued by the concept, and The Next Web's Zee Kane lauded Digg for integrating more deeply with Twitter. Buy Altace Without Prescription, Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit, a competitor of Digg's, bashed Rose for "just re-implementing features from other websites," and TechCrunch's Michael Arrington knocked both Rose and Ohanian down a peg in response.

Bidders for Newsweek: Wednesday was The Washington Post Co.'s deadline for formal expressions of interest in buying Newsweek, and it received three offers: OpenGate Capital, a private equity firm that bought TV Guide for $1 in 2008; hedge fund manager and failed Chicago Sun-Times bidder Thane Ritchie; and conservative magazine and website Newsmax. On Twitter, Jeff Jarvis called the bidders "tacky" and wondered whether Newsweek would be better off dead.

Earlier in the week, The New York Times' David Carr offered an explanation for why Newsweek and other magazines seem to be worth so little to potential buyers: "In the current digital news ecosystem, having 'week' in your title is anachronistic in the extreme, what an investor would call negative equity." At its Tumblr blog, Newsweek responded by arguing that while everyone seems to have the perfect idea of what Newsweek should have done, no one can change the simple business reality that Newsweek is no longer alone in its niche for readers and advertisers.

Reading roundup: A couple of updates on stories from last week, plus a bunch of interesting articles and resources.

— There wasn't much new said in the continuing argument over Facebook and privacy, but Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg gave a couple more interviews defending its privacy policy and last week's changes to NPR, All Things Digital and Wired, the latter of which included the revelation that Zuckerberg donated to Diaspora, Facebook's open-source startup competitor, Buy Altace Without Prescription. Wired's Fred Vogelstein also defended Facebook's privacy stance, and Jay Rosen took him to task for it.

— An addendum to last week's Publish2 News Exchange launch: Publish2's Ryan Sholin told the Lab's Megan Garber that it only intends to disrupt the AP, not kill it. The exchange is aimed at the content distribution side of the AP, not the production end, he said. Poynter's Rick Edmonds gave some more explanation of Publish2's plans.

— The New York Times announced it will host Nate Silver's political polling blog FiveThirtyEight, one of the web's top operations at the intersection of data and journalism. Yahoo News' Michael Calderone examined the fact that Silver's been open about his liberal political views and asks how that will work out at the Times.

— Several smart, thought-provoking analyses here: journalism researcher Michele McLellan surveyed online local news publishers, news business expert Alan Mutter looked at Yahoo's hints at a challenge to local newspapers, search guru Danny Sullivan examined a case of traditional media stealing his blog's story; and media analyst Frederic Filloux explained why online advertising is so lousy.

— Finally, a 'why' and a 'how' for a couple of aspects of digital journalism: MediaShift's Roland LeGrand gives journalists the reasons they should learn computer programming, and Poynter's Jeremy Caplan has a great list of tips for crowdsourcing in journalism.

Buy Mazindol Without Prescription

Mark — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:36:06 +0000

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Buy Mazindol Without Prescription, on March 12, 2010.]

The Times, plagiarism and the link: A few weeks ago, the resignations of two journalists from The Daily Beast and The New York Times accused of plagiarism had us talking about how the culture of the web affects that age-old journalistic sin. That discussion was revived this week by the Times' public editor, Mazindol in canada, Fast shipping Mazindol, Clark Hoyt, whose postmortem on the Zachery Kouwe scandal appeared Sunday, where can i find Mazindol online. Rx free Mazindol, Hoyt concluded that the Times "owes readers a full accounting" of how Kouwe's plagiarism occurred, and he also called out DealBook, order Mazindol online overnight delivery no prescription, Buying Mazindol online over the counter, the Times' business blog for which Kouwe wrote, questioning its hyper-competitive nature and saying it needs more oversight, where can i buy cheapest Mazindol online. Mazindol buy, (In an accompanying blog post, Hoyt also said the Times needs to look closer at implementing plagiarism prevention software.)

Reuters' Felix Salmon challenged Hoyt's assertion, buy Mazindol without prescription, Buy cheap Mazindol, saying that the Times' problem was not that its ethics were too steeped in the ethos of the blogosphere, but that they aren't bloggy enough, buy Mazindol no prescription. Buy Mazindol online no prescription, Channeling CUNY prof Jeff Jarvis' catchphrase "Do what you do best and link to the rest," Salmon chastised Kouwe and other Times bloggers for rewriting stories that other online news organizations beat them to, Mazindol gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, Buy Mazindol online with no prescription, rather than simply linking to them. "The problem, here, is that the bloggers at places like the NYT and the WSJ are print reporters, and aren’t really bloggers at heart," Salmon wrote, Buy Mazindol Without Prescription.

Michael Roston made a similar argument at True/Slant the first time this came up, Mazindol medication, Sale Mazindol, and ex-newspaperman Mathew Ingram strode to Salmon's defense this time with an eloquent defense of the link. It's not just a practice for geeky insiders, Mazindol craiglist, Mazindol in usa, he argues; it's "a fundamental aspect of writing for the web." (Also at True/Slant, Paul Smalera made a similar Jarvis-esque argument.) In a lengthy Twitter exchange with Salmon, next day Mazindol, Mazindol in uk, Times editor Patrick LaForge countered that the Times does link more than most newspapers, and Kouwe was an exception, where can i find Mazindol online. Mazindol to buy, Jason Fry, a former blogger for the Wall Street Journal, Mazindol craiglist, Free Mazindol samples, agreed with Ingram and Smalera, but theorizes that the Times' linking problem is not so much a refusal to play by the web's rules as "an unthinking perpetuation of print values that are past their sell-by date." Those values, buy Mazindol no prescription, Purchase Mazindol online, he says, are scoops, Mazindol to buy online, Buy no prescription Mazindol online, which, as he argued further in a more sports-centric column, buy Mazindol without a prescription, Order Mazindol no prescription, readers on the web just don't care about as much as they used to.

Tech execs' advice for newspapers: Traditional news organizations got a couple of pieces of advice this week from two relatively big-time folks in the tech world. First, Mazindol in us, Fast shipping Mazindol, Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen gave an interview with TechCrunch's Erick Schonfeld in which he told newspaper execs to "burn the boats" and commit wholeheartedly to the web, rather than finding way to prop up modified print models, Mazindol from international pharmacy. Buy Mazindol online with no prescription, He used the iPad as a litmus test for this philosophy, noting that "All the new [web] companies are not spending a nanosecond on the iPad or thinking of ways to charge for content, Mazindol tablets. Mazindol pills, The older companies, that is all they are thinking about."

Not everyone agreed: Newspaper Death Watch's Paul Gillin said publishers' current strategy, next day Mazindol, which includes keeping the print model around, is an intelligent one: They're milking the print-based profits they have while trying to manage their business down to a level where they can transfer it over to a web-based model. News business expert Alan Mutter offered a more pointed counterargument:"It doesn’t take a certifiable Silicon Valley genius to see that no business can walk away from some 90% of its revenue base without imploding."

I have two long, thought-provoking pieces on journalism, both courtesy of the Columbia Journalism Review. First, Megan Garber has a sharp essay on the public's growing fixation on authorship that's led to so much mistrust in journalism — and how journalists helped bring that fixation on. It's a long, deep-thinking piece, but it's well worth reading all the way through Garber's cogent argument. Her concluding suggestions for news orgs regarding authority and identity are particularly interesting, with nuggets like "Transparency may be the new objectivity; but we need to shift our definition of 'transparency': from 'the revelation of potential biases,' and toward 'the revelation of the journalistic process.'"

Second, CJR has the text of Illinois professor Robert McChesney's speech this week to the FTC, in which he makes the case for a government subsidy of news organizations. McChesney and The Nation's John Nichols have made this case in several places with a new book, "The Death and Life of American Journalism," on the shelves, but it's helpful to have a comprehensive version of it in one spot online.

Finally, The Online Journalism Review's Robert Niles has a simple tip for newspaper publishers looking to stave off their organizations' decline: Learn to understand technology from the consumer's perspective. That means, well, consuming technology. Niles provides a to-do list you can hand to your bosses to help get them started.
