How right do we need to be on Twitter?: It's not particularly uncommon for false information to spread on Twitter under the guise of breaking news, and that's what happened late last week, when several journalists spread the rumor that CNN's Piers Morgan had been suspended from his show as part of the fallout from News Corp.'s phone hacking scandal, which turned out to be untrue. Flagyl description, This misinformation, however, led to the most interesting discussion on Twitter and accuracy we've seen in a while.

It started with Reuters' Felix Salmon, one of those who tweeted the Morgan rumor, defending the practice of quickly tweeting breaking news (false, in some cases) and then quickly correcting it, is Flagyl safe. "Twitter is more like a newsroom than a newspaper: it’s where you see news take shape. Rumors appear and die; stories come into focus; people talk about what’s true and what’s false," he wrote. While news organizations' official accounts should stick to confirmed reports, individual reporters should be able to tweet unconfirmed information, Salmon said, as long as they attribute it properly and correct it quickly, Flagyl Mg.

Several writers objected to this line of reasoning: Fishbowl NY's Chris O'Shea said Salmon should be committed to tweeting true information because the fact that he's seen as a credible news source is the reason people follow him on Twitter in the first place. The Columbia Journalism Review's Dean Starkman countered that Twitter is much closer to publishing than a newsroom meeting: "The reason people feel a bit of embarrassment after making a mistake on Twitter is precisely because it’s so public." And Rem Rieder of the American Journalism Review said Salmon's strategy constitutes a reckless disregard for reporters' individual brand and reputation.

Others were more sympathetic to Salmon's point. Mathew Ingram of GigaOM pushed back against Rieder, Flagyl no prescription, arguing that news is a process, not just the publication of a finished product, and Twitter is part of that process. Salmon's editor at Reuters Flagyl Mg, , Anthony DeRosa, who also tweeted the Morgan rumor, agreed with Salmon that Twitter is a newsroom, but vowed to be more careful to tweet verified information. The Journal Register Co.'s Steve Buttry, meanwhile, said that the dichotomy between being first and being right is a false one for journalists — and that journalists should strive for both.

A new tool for the new newsroom: Chartbeat, taking Flagyl, which does real-time analytics for websites, launched a news-oriented version of its tool last week called Newsbeat. Poynter's Jeff Sonderman put together a good overview of the service, which includes more detail about traffic trends and sources than Chartbeat. In an interview with GigaOM's Mathew Ingram, Discount Flagyl, Chartbeat's Tony Haile answered the objection that this type of data will just lead to a "tyranny of the popular," arguing instead that the service may instead show journalists how they're underestimating their audiences, or how they can repackage news stories to make them more understandable to readers.

The Atlantic's Alexis Madrigal provided an example from his own experience, noting that Chartbeat has shown that a surprising number of offbeat longform stories there generate big traffic, Flagyl Mg. Newsbeat, he said, could help the mass of news sources fighting for attention online each find their sweet spot. "I love analytics because I owe them my ability to write weird stories on the Internet, where can i find Flagyl online," he said.

At Wired, Tim Carmody emphasized the real-time nature of the information, noting that the need for that kind of information is growing as news organizations are increasingly editing and publishing in real time, too. Order Flagyl from United States pharmacy, Here at the Lab, Megan Garber was intrigued by the fact that Newsbeat offers individualized dashboards for each writer and editor's content. Flagyl Mg, The feature, she reasoned, demonstrates the increased encouragement of entrepreneurialism within the modern newsroom: "Increasingly, the gates of production are swinging open to journalists throughout, if not fully across, the newsroom. That’s a good thing. It’s also a big thing. And Newsbeat is reflecting it."

A truly daily tablet publication: Seems almost every other week we have a new entry into the tablet news market; this week it's AOL, which launched its daily tablet magazine Editions this week. All Things Digital and Poynter have good overviews of what the new publication is: Notably, generic Flagyl, it's delivered to your tablet just once a day (at the time of your choosing), with a set ending page, and without any updates. It's big on personalization, tailoring news to each user a bit like Pandora, and it also includes some local news and, as Poynter noted, primarily aims to recreate the print experience (a fake mailing label, even!), Flagyl Mg.

To the people behind Editions, its lack of updates and finite, Flagyl results, print-like interface are assets: As one of them told the New York Times, "For a lot of people, [continual updating] becomes oppressive. This is not tapping you on the shoulder all the time." But at TechCrunch (which is also owned by AOL), Erick Schonfeld was skeptical, asserting that if he feels like he's getting day-old news on Editions, he'll just stick to the web, online buying Flagyl hcl. "News apps need to be as current as the Web. Those are just table stakes," he wrote. Mashable's Lauren Indvik, on the other hand, was rather impressed, Flagyl without a prescription, saying the finiteness of the magazine provides a nice contrast to the unruliness of the web.

The scandal goes stateside Flagyl Mg, : A couple of updates on the News Corp. phone hacking scandal: The story is beginning to migrate across the Atlantic, as attention begins to shift toward several accusations of spying made years ago against News Corp. holdings in the United States. Nick Davies, where can i buy cheapest Flagyl online, the Guardian reporter who broke this story open earlier this summer, was reportedly in the States this week investigating News Corp. At New York magazine, Frank Rich urged Americans to look more closely into Murdoch's behavior here: "We’ve become so inured to Murdoch tactics over the years—and so many people in public life have been frightened, silenced, Flagyl forum, co-opted, or even seduced by them—that we have minimized his impact exactly the way his publicists hoped we would, downgrading News Corp. misbehavior merely to tabloid vulgarity and right-wing attack-dog politics."

Two other notes: The News Corp.-owned Wall Street Journal is surveying subscribers about its image in light of the phone hacking scandal, and the American Journalism Review's John Morton said that for all his faults, Rupert Murdoch's heart is in newspapers, something he appreciates, Flagyl Mg.

Reading roundup: Several things journalists and educators might find useful this week:

— Some smaller papers in the Lee Enterprises chain are going to be trying out metered-model online pay plans, which include a small charge for the website even for print subscribers. Poynter's Rick Edmonds explained why. And at the Lab, buy generic Flagyl, Ken Doctor looked at how the economics of circulation and advertising are moving online.

— There are still a few places where print is still king — among the wealthy, for instance, as data from this Ad Age survey show.

— A few great how-to's and suggestions: Journalism.co.uk's SEO primer for journalists; Florida j-prof Mindy McAdams' six proposals for journalism education; and a quick guide to data journalism from the Guardian. Flagyl dangers, — Finally, media analyst Alan Mutter made a strong case for why newspapers' business model will never stabilize and urged them to begin "intelligently, and speedily, de-stabilizing their enterprises." It's a case that's been made many times before, but one that probably needs to be heard again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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