[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Buy Diflucan No Prescription, on January 20, 2012.]

The web flexes its political muscle: After a couple of months of growing concern, the online backlash against the anti-piracy bills SOPA and PIPA reached a rather impressive peak this week. There’s a lot of moving parts to this, so I’ll break it down into three parts: the arguments for and against the bill, the status of the bill, and this week’s protests.

The bills’ opponents have covered a wide variety of arguments over the past few months, but there were still a few more new angles this week in the arguments against SOPA. NYU prof Clay Shirky put the bill in historical context in a 14-minute TED talk, about Diflucan, and social-media researcher danah boyd parsed out both the competitive and cultural facets of piracy. At the Harvard Business Review, James Allworth and Maxwell Wessel framed the issue as a struggle between big content companies and smaller innovators. The New York Times asked six contributors for their ideas about viable SOPA alternatives in fighting piracy, and at Slate, Matthew Yglesias argued that piracy actually has some real benefits for society and the entertainment industry, Buy Diflucan No Prescription.

The most prominent SOPA supporter on the web this week was News Corp.’s Rupert Murdoch, who went on a Twitter rant against SOPA opponents and Google in particular, reportedly after seeing a Google TV presentation in which the company said it wouldn’t remove links in search to illegal movie streams. Diflucan samples, Both j-prof Jeff Jarvis and GigaOM’s Mathew Ingram responded that Murdoch doesn’t understand how the Internet works, with Jarvis arguing that Murdoch isn’t opposed so much to piracy as the entire architecture of the web. At the Guardian, however, Dan Gillmor disagreed with the idea that Murdoch doesn’t get the web, saying that he and other big-media execs know exactly the threat it represents to their longstanding control of media content.

Now for the status of the bill itself: Late last week, SOPA was temporarily weakened and delayed, my Diflucan experience, as its sponsor, Lamar Smith, said he would remove domain-name blocking until the issue has been “studied,” and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said he won’t bring the bill to the House floor until some real consensus about the bill can be found. Buy Diflucan No Prescription, That consensus became a bit less likely this week, after the White House came out forcefully against SOPA and PIPA, calling for, as Techdirt described it, a “hard reset” on the bills. The real blow to the bills came after Wednesday’s protests, when dozens of members of Congress announced their opposition and, Diflucan online cod, this morning, both SOPA and PIPA were indefinitely postponed.

But easily the biggest news surrounding SOPA and PIPA this week was the massive protests of it around the web. Hundreds of sites, including such heavyweights as Wikipedia, Reddit, Mozilla, BoingBoing, australia, uk, us, usa, and WordPress, blacked out on Wednesday, and other sites such as Google and Wired joined with “censored” versions of their home pages. As I noted above, the protest was extremely successful politically, as some key members of Congress backed off their support of the bill, Diflucan without prescription, leading The New York Times to call it a “political coming of age” for the tech industry.

The most prominent of those protesting sites was Wikipedia, which redirected site users to an anti-SOPA action page on Wednesday, Buy Diflucan No Prescription. Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales’ announcement of the protest was met with derision in some corners, with Twitter CEO Dick Costolo and PandoDaily’s Paul Carr chastising the global site for doing something so drastic in response to a single national issue. Walesdefended the decision by saying that the law will affect web users around the world, and he also got support from writers like Mathew Ingram and the Atlantic’s Alexis Madrigal, who argued that Wikipedia and Google’s protests could help take the issue out of the tech community and into the mainstream.

The New York Times’ David Pogue was put off by some aspects of the SOPA outrage and argued that some of the bill’s opposition grew out of a philosophy that was little more than, “Don’t take my free stuff!” And ReadWriteWeb’s Joe Brockmeier was concerned about what happens after the protest is over, online Diflucan without a prescription, when Congress goes back to business as usual and the public remains largely in the dark about what they’re doing. “Even if SOPA goes down in flames, it’s not over. It’s never over,” he wrote.

Apple’s bid to reinvent the textbook Buy Diflucan No Prescription, : Apple announced yesterday its plans to add educational publishing to the many industries it’s radically disrupted, through its new iBooks and iBooks Author systems. Wired’s Tim Carmody, who’s been consistently producing the sharpest stuff on this subject, Buy no prescription Diflucan online, has the best summary of what Apple’s rolling out: A better iBooks platform, a program (iBooks Author) allowing authors to design their own iBooks, textbooks in the iBookstore, and a classroom management app called iTunes U.

After news of the announcement was broken earlier this week by Ars Technica, the Lab’s Joshua Benton explained some of the reasons the textbook industry is ripe for disruption and wondered about the new tool’s usability. (Afterward, he listed some of the change’s implications, Diflucan class, including for the news industry.) Tim Carmody, meanwhile, gave some historical perspective on Steve Jobs’ approach to education reform.

As Carmody detailed after the announcement, education publishing is a big business for Apple to come crashing into. But The Atlantic’s Megan Garber explained that that isn’t exactly what Apple’s doing here; instead, it’s simply “identifying transformative currents and building the right tools to navigate them.” Still, Reuters’ Jack Shafer asserted that what’s bad for these companies is good for readers like him, Buy Diflucan No Prescription.

But while Apple talked about reinventing the textbook, Diflucan pics, several observers didn’t see revolutionary changes around the corner. ReadWriteWeb’s John Paul Titlow noted that Apple is teaming up with big publishers, not killing them, and Paul Carr of PandoDaily argued that iBook Author’s self-made ebooks won’t challenge the professionally produced and marketed ones. All Things Digital’s Peter Kafka did the math to show the publishers should still get plenty of the new revenue streams.

The news still brought plenty of concerns: At CNET, Lindsey Turrentine wondered how many schools will have the funds to afford the hardware for iBooks, and David Carnoy and Scott Stein questioned how open Apple’s new platforms would be, Diflucan alternatives. Buy Diflucan No Prescription, That theme was echoed elsewhere, especially by developer Dan Wineman, who found that through its user agreement, Apple will essentially assert rights to anything produced with its iBooks file format. That level of control gave some, like GigaOM’s Mathew Ingram, pause, but Paul Carr said we shouldn’t be surprised: This is what Apple does, he said, and we all buy its products anyway. Diflucan maximum dosage, —

 

Making ‘truth vigilantes’ mainstream: The outrage late last week over New York Times public editor Arthur Brisbane’s column asking whether the paper’s reporters should challenge misleading claims by officials continued to yield thoughtful responses this week. After his column last week voicing his support for journalism’s “truth vigilantes,” j-prof Robert Niles created a site to honor them, pointing out instances in which reporters call out their sources for lying. Salon’s Gene Lyons, meanwhile, said that attitudes like Brisbane’s are a big part of what’s led to the erosion of trust in the Times and the mainstream press.

The two sharpest takes on the issue this week came from The Atlantic’s Conor Friedersdorf and from Columbia Ph.D, Buy Diflucan No Prescription. student Lucas Graves here at the Lab, Diflucan recreational. Friedersdorf took on journalists’ argument that people should read the news section for unvarnished facts and the opinion section for analysis: That argument doesn’t work, he said, because readers don’t consume a publication as a bundle anymore.

Graves analyzed the issue in light of both the audience’s expectations for news and the growth of the fact-checking movement. He argued for fact-checking to be incorporated into journalists’ everyday work, rather than remaining a specialized form of journalism. Reuters’ Felix Salmon agreed, Purchase Diflucan online no prescription, asserting that “the greatest triumph of the fact-checking movement will come when it puts itself out of work, because journalists are doing its job for it as a matter of course.” At the Lab, Craig Newmark of Craigslist also chimed in, prescribing more rigorous fact-checking efforts as a way for journalists to regain the public’s trust.

Reading roundup: Not a ton of other news developments per se Buy Diflucan No Prescription,  this week, but plenty of good reads nonetheless. Here’s a sample:

— There was one major development on the ongoing News Corp. phone hacking case: The company settled 36 lawsuits by victims, admitting a cover-up of the hacking. Here’s the basic story from Reuters and more in-depth live coverage from the Guardian, what is Diflucan.

— Rolling Stone published a long, wide-ranging interview with WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange as he awaits his final extradition hearing. Reuters’ Jack Shafer also wrote a thoughtful piece on the long-term journalistic implications of WikiLeaks, focusing particularly on the continued importance of institutions.

— Two interesting pieces of journalism-related research: Slate’s Farhad Manjoo described a Facebook-based study that throws some cold water on the idea of the web as a haven for like-minded echo chambers, and the Lab’s Andrew Phelps wrote about a study that describes and categorizes the significant group people who stumble across news online.

— In a thorough feature, Nick Summers of Newsweek/The Daily Beast laid out the concerns over how big ESPN is getting, and whether that’s good for ESPN itself and sports media in general.

— Finally, for those thinking about how to develop the programmer-journalists of the future, j-prof Matt Waite has a set of thoughts on the topic that functions as a great jumping-off point for more ideas and discussion.

Social search and competition: Google made a major move toward unifying search and social networks (particularly its own) this week by fusing Google+ into its search and deepening its search personalization based on social information. It's a significant development with a lot of different angles, so I'll try to hit all of them as understandably as I can.

As usual, Search Engine Land's Danny Sullivan put together the best basic guide to the changes, with plenty of visual examples and some brief thoughts on many of the issues I'll cover here. TechCrunch's Jason Kincaid explained that while these changes may seem incremental now, low dose Bactrim, they're foreshadowing Google's eventual goal to become "a search engine for all of your stuff."

PaidContent's Jeff Roberts liked the form and functionality of the new search, but said it still needs a critical mass of Google+ activity to become truly useful, while GigaOM's Janko Roettgers said its keys will be photos and celebrities. ReadWriteWeb's Jon Mitchell was impressed by the non-evilness of it, particularly the ability to turn it off. Farhad Manjoo of Slate said Google's reliance on social information is breaking what was a good search engine, Order Bactrim. Comprar en línea Bactrim, comprar Bactrim baratos, Of course, the move was also quite obviously a shot in the war between Google and Facebook (and Twitter, as we'll see later): As Ars Technica's Sean Gallagher noted, Google wants to one-up Facebook's growing social search and keep some of its own search traffic out of Facebook. Ben Parr said Facebook doesn't need to worry, though Google has set up Google+ as the alternative if Facebook shoots itself in the foot.

But turning a supposedly neutral search engine into a competitive weapon didn't go over well with a lot of observers, generic Bactrim. The Atlantic's Alexis Madrigal saw a conflict between Google's original mission (organizing the world's information) and its new social mission, and Danny Sullivan said Google is putting score-settling above relevance. Several others sounded similar alarms: Mathew Ingram of GigaOM said users are becoming collateral damage Order Bactrim, in the war between the social networks, and web veteran John Battelle argued that the war was bad for Google, Facebook, and all of us on the web. "The unwillingness of Facebook and Google to share a public commons when it comes to the intersection of search and social is corrosive to the connective tissue of our shared culture," he wrote.

For others, the changes even called up the specter of antitrust violations. MG Siegler said he doesn't mind Google's search (near-) monopoly, but when it starts using that monopoly to push its other products, Bactrim no rx, that's when it turns into a legal problem. Danny Sullivan laid out some of the areas of dispute in a possible antitrust case and urged Google to more fully integrate its competitors into search.

Twitter was the first competitor to voice its displeasure publicly, releasing a statement arguing that deprioritizing Twitter damages real-time search. (TechCrunch has the statement and some valuable context.) Google responded by essentially saying, "Hey, you dumped us, Bactrim pictures, buddy," and its executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, told Search Engine Land they'd be willing to negotiate with Twitter and Facebook.

Finally, some brief journalistic implications: Poynter's Jeff Sonderman said this means SEO's value is waning for news organizations, being replaced by the growing importance of building strong social followings and making content easy to share, and Mathew Ingram echoed that idea, Order Bactrim. Daniel Victor of ProPublica had some wise thoughts on the meaning of stronger search for social networks, Bactrim reviews, concluding that "the key is creating strategies that don’t depend on specific tools. Don’t plan for more followers and retweets; plan for creating incentives that will gather the most significant contributions possible from non-staffers."

Innovation and its discontents: Washington Post ombudsman Patrick Pexton inducing a bit of eye-rolling among digital media folks this week with a column arguing that the paper is "innovating too fast" by overwhelming readers and exhausting employees with a myriad of initiatives that lack a coherent overall strategy. J-prof Jay Rosen followed up with a revealing chat with Pexton that helps push the discussion outside of the realm of stereotypes: Pexton isn't reflexively defending the status quo (though he remains largely print-centric), but thinks there are simply too many projects being undertaken without an overarching philosophy about how or why things should be done.

Pexton got plenty of push-back, not least from the Post's own top digital editor, Raju Narisetti, who responded by essentially saying, where can i buy cheapest Bactrim online, in Rosen's paraphrase, "This is the way it’s going to be and has to be, if the Post is to survive and thrive. It may well be exhausting but there is no alternative." GigaOM's Mathew Ingram said he was just about to praise the Post for its bold experimentation, and the Guardian's Martin Belam argued that Pexton is actually critiquing newness, Online buying Bactrim, rather than innovation.

J-prof Alfred Hermida argued Order Bactrim, — as Pexton himself seemed to in his chat with Rosen — that the issue is not about how fast or slow innovation is undertaken, but whether that innovation is done in a way that's good or bad for journalism. Former Sacramento Bee editor Melanie Sill responded that many newspapers remain stuck in 20th-century formulas, blinding them to the fact that what they consider revolutionary change is only a minor, outmoded shift. She noted that all the former top editors she's talked to have had the same regret: that they hadn't pushed harder for change. And Free Press' Josh Stearns pointed out that we should expect the path toward that change to be an easy one.

'Truth vigilantes' and objectivity: Pexton wasn't the only ombudsman this week to be put on the defensive after a widely derided column: New York Times public editor Arthur Brisbane drew plenty of criticism yesterday when he asked whether Times reporters should call out officials' untruths in their stories — or, as he put it, where to buy Bactrim, act as a "truth vigilante." Much of the initial reaction was a variation of, "How is this even a question?"

Brisbane told Romenesko that he wasn't asking whether the Times should fact-check statements and print the truth, but whether reporters should "always rebut dubious facts in the body of the stories they are writing." He reiterated this in a follow-up, in which he also printed a response by Times executive editor Jill Abramson saying the Times does this all the time. Her point was echoed by former Times executive editor Bill Keller and PolitiFact editor Bill Adair, Buy Bactrim from mexico, and while he called the initial question "stupid," Reuters' Jack Shafer pointed out that Brisbane isn't opposed to skepticism and fact-checking.

The American Journalism Review's Rem Rieder enthusiastically offered a case for a more rigorous fact-checking role for the press, as did the Online Journalism Review's Robert Niles (though his enthusiasm was with tongue lodged in cheek), Order Bactrim. The Atlantic's Adam Clark Estes used the episode as an opportunity to explain how deeply objectivity is ingrained in the mindset of the American press, pointing to the "view from nowhere" concept explicated by j-prof Jay Rosen. Rosen also wrote about the issue himself, arguing that objectivity's view from nowhere has surpassed truthtelling as a priority among the press.

How useful is the political press?: The U.S, buy Bactrim online no prescription. presidential primary season is usually also peak political-journalism-bashing season, but there were a couple of pieces that stood out this week for those interested in the future of that field. The Washington Post's Dana Milbank mocked Order Bactrim, the particular pointlessness of this campaign's reporting, describing scenes of reporters vastly outnumbering locals at campaign events and remarking, "if editors knew how little journalism occurs on the campaign trail, they would never pay our expenses."

The New Yorker's John Cassidy defended the political press against the heat it's been taking, arguing that it still produces strong investigative and long-form reporting on important issues, and that the speed of the new news cycle allows it to correct itself quickly. He blamed many of its perceived failings not on the journalists themselves, but on the public that's consuming their work.

The Boston Phoenix reported on the decline of local newspapers' campaign coverage and wondered if political blogs and websites could pick up the slack, Bactrim use, while the Lab's Justin Ellis looked at why news orgs love partnering up during campaign season, focusing specifically on the newly announced NBC News-Newsweek/Daily Beast arrangement.

A unique paywall model: The many American, British, and Canadian publishers implementing or considering paywalls might marvel at the paid-content success of Piano Media, but they can't hope to emulate it: A year after gaining the cooperation of each of Slovakia's major news publishers for a unified paywall there, the company is expanding the concept to Slovenia, no prescription Bactrim online. As paidContent noted, Piano is hoping to sign up 1% of Slovenia's Internet-using population, and the Lab's Andrew Phelps reported that the company is planning to bring national paywalls to five European nations by the end of the year. As Piano's CEO told Phelps, the primary barrier to subscription has not been economic, but philosophical, especially for commenting, Order Bactrim.

Elsewhere in paywalls, media consultant Frederic Filloux looked at what's making the New York Times' strategy work so far — unique content, Bactrim results, a porous paywall that allows it to maintain high traffic numbers and visibility, and cooperation with Apple — and analyst Ken Doctor wondered whether all-access subscriptions across multiple devices and publications within a company could be a key to paid content this year.

Reading roundup: Tons of smaller stuff going on this week outside the glare of the Google-Facebook-Twitter wars. Here's a quick rundown:

— One item I forgot to note from late last week: The AP and a group of 28 other news organizations have launched NewsRight, a system to help news orgs license their content to online aggregators. Poynter's Rick Edmonds offered a detailed analysis, but GigaOM's Mathew Ingram was skeptical, Bactrim steet value.

— The online commenting service Disqus released some of its internal research Order Bactrim, showing that pseudonymous commenters tend to leave more and higher-quality comments than their real-name counterparts. GigaOM's Mathew Ingram used the data to argue that a lack of real names isn't nearly as bad as its critics say.

— No real news in SOPA this week, but the text of Cory Doctorow's lecture last month on SOPA and the dangers of copyright regulation has been posted. It's long, but worth a read.

— Finally, three fantastic practical posts on how to practice digital journalism, from big-picture to small-grain: Howard Owens of the Batavian's list of things journalists can do to reinvent journalism, Melanie Sill at Poynter on how to begin doing open journalism, and Steve Buttry of the Journal Register Co. on approaching statehouse coverage from a digital-first perspective.

Should we rethink online paywalls?: It may not be grabbing as many headlines as it was a year ago, but the paid-content train keeps rollin' along, with two more newspapers jumping on board this week: Britain's The Independent is launching a metered paywall for readers outside the U.K. (powered by the Press+ system formerly of Journalism Online), and the Minneapolis Star Tribune is launching a metered model similar to that of the New York Times — 20 free page views a month, Cheap Tramadol no rx, after which the paywall kicks in. Print subscribers will have unlimited access, and the Strib estimates that it'll eventually get $3 million to $4 million in annual revenue from the plan.

On another paywall front, the Lab's Justin Ellis reported that Google, which has been working with publishers on paid content online for a while, has been quietly experimenting with a survey-as-paywall, in which visitors are asked to answer a survey question in order to gain access to the site, japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal.

This week's quarterly circulation numbers included some positive news about the New York Times' paywall, as Ken Doctor noted at the Lab last week: The New York Times' Sunday circulation actually went up, for the first time in five years, Buy Tramadol No Prescription. Poynter's Rick Edmonds pointed out that this quarter's numbers are the result of a formula in flux, but the good signs have people like NPR's David Folkenflik rethinking the value of online news paywalls.

Not everyone's high on paywalls, of course: After initially being surprised by the high numbers of subscribers to Newsday's online edition, Forbes' Jeff Bercovici found that the number paying for it on its own is still under 1,000. Is Tramadol safe, And GigaOM's Mathew Ingram said that despite its initial success, the Times' paywall is still a stopgap strategy — "an attempt to create the kind of artificial information scarcity that newspapers used to enjoy. And if that is all that newspapers are trying to do, the future looks pretty bleak indeed."

Yahoo's new personalized news app: Yahoo jumped into the tablet world this week, announcing the launch of several products for the iPad, including the social TV app IntoNow and Livestand, a "personalized living magazine" (yup, another one), discount Tramadol. Buy Tramadol No Prescription, The obvious point of comparison is Flipboard, and opinions were varied as to how well Livestand compares to Flipboard. Mashable's Ben Parr was pretty impressed, though he noted that Livestand and Flipboard are gathering their content in different ways — Flipboard through your social feeds, and Livestand through its content partners.

Others weren't quite so wowed. Kara Swisher of All Things Digital said Livestand shouldn't be anything new for Flipboard users, and Wired's Tim Carmody saw the difference between Flipboard and Livestand that Parr mentioned as a fundamental error by Yahoo. Tramadol overnight, Flipboard is built for readers, to allow them to distill the good stuff from their social and RSS feeds, he said. But "Yahoo’s Livestand only solves problems for publishers and advertisers: how to display content and advertising to readers without having to have everyone write their own code from scratch." The Lab's Ken Doctor gave several useful areas in which to evaluate Livestand and the coming tablet aggregator wars, Buy Tramadol No Prescription.

Advertising is a big part of what's new with Livestand: With it, they also unveiled Living Ads, which is the latest attempt to create a magazine-like ad on the tablet, using HTML5. As Adweek noted, generic Tramadol, the ads take up a third of the screen and are interactive, with animation and video available. These ads are pretty expensive, but Yahoo's Blake Irving told Business Insider they get advertisers away from the CPM model, which he believes hasn't served advertisers well.

Is Assange a step closer to the U.S.?: A week after WikiLeaks announced that it would temporarily shut down to raise money, Tramadol from canada, the whistleblowing website got some more bad news when a British high court ruled that WikiLeaks' founder, Julian Assange, can be extradited to Sweden on charges of sexual assault, rejecting an appeal of a ruling made earlier this year. Buy Tramadol No Prescription, Assange can still appeal to Britain's Supreme Court, but it's headed to Sweden to face trial.

Assange has opposed the extradition to Sweden because he contends that the rulers of that country are aligned against him, but the specter of another extradition is also looming: As Paul Sawers of The Next Web noted, Assange and his supporters are concerned that a move to Sweden would make it much easier for him to be sent to the United States, where the Obama administration and members of Congress have discussed prosecuting him for releasing sensitive information through WikiLeaks, where can i order Tramadol without prescription. Forbes' Andy Greenberg argued, however, that Assange would be more likely to be sent to the U.S. from Britain than from Sweden.

The Associated Press looked at whether WikiLeaks could survive Assange's extradition — its answer: probably not — and Swedish columnist Karin Olsson wrote in the Guardian that Assange has lost all of his intriguing man-of-mystery status in her country. But Australian journalist Matt da Silva urged people not to let up in their support of Assange, praising him as a crusader against government's efforts to manage and control the media, Buy Tramadol No Prescription.

Reconciling journalism and political views: What started a couple of weeks ago as yet another public radio conundrum regarding its employees and political opinions morphed into an interesting discussion about journalism and transparency. My Tramadol experience, Two public radio employees, Lisa Simeone of Soundprint and Caitlin Curran of WYNC's The Takeaway, were fired after taking part in Occupy Wall Street protests. Curran told her story at Gawker, and Brooke Gladstone, host of the NPR show On the Media, discussed NPR's policy in a live chat.

The Atlantic's Conor Friedersdorf argued that WNYC was wrong to fire Curran, buy Tramadol without prescription, pointing out that several NPR reporters have made essentially the same point she did in her protest sign, and have been praised for it. He and the Guardian's Dan Gillmor also made the case Buy Tramadol No Prescription, for doing away with the philosophy of viewlessness in the American press. As Gillmor put it, telling journalists they can't even hint at what they believe "puts a barrier between them and their audiences – a serious problem given that news and journalism are evolving from a lecture into a conversation." Though he wasn't discussing the public radio firings, Gawker's Hamilton Nolan did provide a counterargument, defending journalistic facelessness and an institutional writing style. Tramadol trusted pharmacy reviews, And as if on cue, former New York Sun editor Ira Stoll launched News Transparency, a site that lets people know about journalists' backgrounds as a kind of imposed transparency from the outside, as Poynter's Jeff Sonderman put it.

The Verge takes off: A new tech blog to watch: The sports blog network SB Nation launched a tech blog called The Verge this week, under the leadership of several former Engadget staffers. As part of the launch, SB Nation and The Verge will both fall under a new parent media called Vox Media, where can i buy cheapest Tramadol online. The site got some initial rave reviews over its updating story streams, something that SB Nation has been using for a while, Buy Tramadol No Prescription.

Business Insider has an interview with the folks behind the site, and the Lab's Justin Ellis talked about where SB Nation/Vox will go from here. The Lab's Joshua Benton also pulled three lessons for news orgs out of the site's development, emphasizing bold, tablet-style design, structured data, Tramadol class, and community.

Reading roundup: Tons of stuff going on this week. Here's the TL;DR version of the rest:

— Google began giving journalists photos next to their stories in Google News — but only if they have a Google+ account. Alexander Howard was OK with it Buy Tramadol No Prescription, , but Columbia's Emily Bell wasn't, calling it coercion and saying it only helped Google, not journalism.

— The St. Petersburg Times, a newspaper owned by the nonprofit Poynter Institute, announced it will change its name to the Tampa Bay Times on Jan. 1, order Tramadol online c.o.d, broadening its geographic focus. Poynter rounded up some of the reaction on social media and compared the decision to other recent newspaper name changes.

— Your weekly News Corp, Buy Tramadol No Prescription. phone hacking update: New documents released by a committee of Britain's Parliament revealed that a company attorney warned of a culture of hacking back in 2008. Here's the summary from News Corp.'s own Wall Street Journal and a blow-by-blow from the Guardian.

— As GigaOM's Colleen Taylor reported, Twitter has quietly unveiled new Top News and Top People search functions. Tramadol photos, Poynter's Jeff Sonderman looked at the effect it will have on publishers.

— Media analyst Frederic Filloux examined the sad state of web news design, and Amy Gahran of the Knight Digital Media Center said all the ugliness could help push users to the mobile web.

— The Guardian launched n0tice, their open community news platform. The Lab's Megan Garber took a look at the new site, and The Next Web's Martin Bryant examined it as a possible replacement for local newspapers.

— Finally, here's hoping this inspiring Lab post by Jacob Harris will forever put an end to the insipid question, "Will X save journalism?".

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Cephalexin Cost, on July 22, 2011.]

Murdoch's damage-control efforts: As News Corp.'s hacking scandal continues to metastasize, it can be difficult to keep up with all the background, angles, and implications. The best one-stop source is Mallary Jean Tenore's explainer for Poynter, and I'll try to update you on all the developments of the past week.

The big event came on Tuesday, when Rupert Murdoch, his son James, Order Cephalexin online overnight delivery no prescription, and his former British chief Rebekah Brooks answered questions from Parliament about the scandal. The Guardian gave a great, quick rundown of what happened there, and the general theme was Murdoch's professed lack of knowledge of the illegal activity at his News of the World tabloid. That's what the Daily Beast's Howard Kurtz took away from it, and Slate's Jack Shafer noted that while the Murdochs kept playing the victim card, they wouldn't say who exactly victimized them, where can i buy Cephalexin online. That was all part of a calculated PR and legal defense, outlined by Nick Davies of the Guardian, Cephalexin Cost.

While many people obviously found the idea of a blissfully ignorant Murdoch family hard to believe, Reuters' Felix Salmon said their strategy was effective enough. Still, the scandal has led to some probing questions about the culture that the Murdochs have created at News Corp. The New York Times' David Carr documented a history of illegal and anticompetitive behavior in the company's American arm, About Cephalexin, and Poynter's Steve Myers called this a corporate corruption story in the Enron vein. In the Guardian, NYU prof Jay Rosen asserted that "News Corp is not a news company at all, but a global media empire that employs its newspapers – and in the US, Fox News – as a lobbying arm."

The episode also has implications beyond News Corp. itself: Media consultant Alan Mutter said it weakens the already damaged trust Cephalexin Cost, Americans have in the media, and the New York Times reported that media consolidation opponents are hoping it provides an opportunity to re-examine the problems in modern media ownership. Here at the Lab, Ken Doctor wrote about why media concentration should be a concern in the U.S., Cephalexin no rx, and the Online Journalism Review's Robert Niles said that's why he's rooting for News Corp. to fail.

So what's next for News Corp.. The long-term future of both Rupert and James Murdoch at the company was in question this week, though Rupert assured Parliament he'd be sticking around. Felix Salmon speculated that the whole company could be in play if things go sour, and CUNY j-prof Jeff Jarvis looked at one possible scenario resulting in a News Corp, Cephalexin Cost. Cephalexin from canadian pharmacy, news and publishing sell-off. Ken Doctor, meanwhile, said News Corp. might end up becoming a more American company as a result of the scandal.

Murdoch still has his defenders, though the most vocal of them at this point (aside from the New York Observer) are media outlets owned by Murdoch himself. Perhaps the most full-throated of those defenses came in the Wall Street Journal, ordering Cephalexin online, which ran numerous opinion pieces, including one equating the hacking with WikiLeaks and an editorial lashing out at Murdoch's critics. PaidContent's Staci Kramer said the Journal would have been better off Cephalexin Cost, spiking the editorial, and the Columbia Journalism Review's Ryan Chittum argued that the Journal's characterization of investigative reporting as ideologically motivated tells us a lot about the "intellectual bankruptcy" of the Journal's editorial page itself.

Even before the editorial, the New York Times' Joe Nocera said the whole paper had been "Fox-ified" — turned shallow and ideological — by Murdoch's influence. Ryan Chittum countered that the paper has declined under Murdoch, Is Cephalexin safe, but it's far from hopeless, and Journal staffers also defended themselves against the "Foxification" charge. Meanwhile, a Pew study found that the actual Fox News Channel is covering the scandal far less than its rivals, and the Guardian continued to earn praise for its coverage of the story, with editor Alan Rusbridger describing in Newsweek how they did it.

Should nonprofit news be more objective?: Pew's Project for Excellence in Journalism released a study this week examining the growing group of nonprofit news organizations, buy cheap Cephalexin, evaluating them specifically for ideological nature and transparency. The study found that of the several dozen new nonprofit sites covering state and national news it looked at, about half are clearly ideological, Cephalexin Cost. Poynter's Rick Edmonds wrote a good, quick summary, noting in particular that several of the most ideological sites offered no clue to their orientation in their names, and that the most productive sites tended to be the least ideological ones. What is Cephalexin, The Lab's Joshua Benton inferred the study's implicit message — the new nonprofit news isn't objective, can't be fully trusted, and especially not to replace newspapers. Benton pushed back against those conclusions, arguing that the new sites aren't meant to replace newspapers, and that their lack of objectivity doesn't keep them from being useful to society.

The Columbia Journalism Review's Greg Marx was a bit more pointed in his response, where can i find Cephalexin online, picking apart some of its examples and particularly the implicit conclusion that Benton identified: "The PEJ report is suffused throughout with a sense that it’s the obligation of the new non-profits to reincarnate as best they can the status quo ante ... But it’s worth remembering that, in many times and many places, the status quo ante wasn’t all that good."

Scribd to see if news will Float: Over the past year or so, we've seen several new attempts to charge for news online by aggregating news from a variety of news outlets, with services like Ongo and News.me. Cephalexin Cost, This week, the document-sharing site Scribd launched its own entry into that space with Float, a mobile reading app that allows users to read subscribers from a variety of sources — what it calls a "Netflix for news." Float launched a free version this week, but will introduce its paid subscription service this fall. Cephalexin duration, Float has a social media-oriented aspect and an Instapaper-like reading list, but as TechCrunch described, its main feature is its ability to present any type of page, from books to blogs to news articles, in the same uniform, easily browseable format. GigaOM's Colleen Taylor found the fluid presentation remarkable, comprar en línea Cephalexin, comprar Cephalexin baratos, but wondered if Float could get a critical mass of news sites to make it worth paying for. PaidContent's David Kaplan said that Float works like a hybrid between Instapaper and Pulse, but that it could try to sell publishers on the idea of picking up browsing readers, rather than devoted subscribers.

Meanwhile, Buy Cephalexin without prescription, another traditional media outlet moved forward with an online paid-content strategy: Time introduced a plan that allows readers to subscribe to a bundle of the magazine's print publication, mobile/tablet apps, and web version. As All Things D's Peter Kafka reported, that also includes shutting off magazine articles on the web from nonsubscribers, though most of the web content should remain free. David Kaplan of paidContent said while it's always an uphill battle to get readers to pay for news online, magazine publishers are aided by the fact that they're becoming more unified in charging for their tablet editions, Cephalexin Cost.

Big Google+ possibilities: As Google+ continues to grow, tech writers continue to think bigger about what it could end up being. O'Reilly Radar's Edd Dumbill said Google+ could be the program that connects people across the entirety of the web, just search does for information. "Google+ is the rapidly growing seed of a web-wide social backbone, Cephalexin price, coupon, and the catalyst for the ultimate uniting of the social graph," he wrote. Tim Carmody of Wired argued that Google+ is also part of the ramp-up to the coming "Cloud Wars" between Google and Microsoft.

Poynter's Jeff Sonderman said Google+ can teach news organizations some lessons Cephalexin Cost, about innovation and developing new products.

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Bactrim Over The Counter, on March 11, 2011.]

A bad week for NPR execs named Schiller: For the second time in five months, NPR has found itself in the middle of a controversy that's forced it to wrestle with issues of objectivity, bias, and its own federal funding. This one started when the conservative prankster James O'Keefe orchestrated a hidden-camera video of a NPR fundraising exec bashing Tea Partiers and generally straying from the NPR party line while meeting with people pretending to represent a Muslim charity. (The "donors" also met with PBS, but their people didn't take the bait.)

Reaction was mixed: The right, of course, was outraged, Where can i cheapest Bactrim online, though others like Slate's Jack Shafer and Gawker's John Cook downplayed the significance of the video. NPR was outraged, too — "appalled," actually, and CEO Vivian Schiller said she was upset and that the two execs had put on administrative leave. Within about 12 hours, however, Bactrim use, Schiller herself had been forced out by NPR's board. The New York Times has good background on the shocking turn of events, and Poynter summarized the six months of controversy that led up to this, stretching back to Juan Williams' firing (the American Journalism Review's Rem Rieder called Schiller's ouster "Williams' revenge"), Bactrim Over The Counter.

Reaction to NPR's handling of the situation was decidedly less mixed — and a lot more scathing. In a chat and column, NPR ombudsman Alicia Shepard ripped just about all parties involved, and the online response from media-watchers was just as harsh. Bactrim for sale, NYU j-prof Jay Rosen called it "profoundly unjust," and several others blasted NPR's leadership.

The Awl's Choire Sicha called NPR's management "wusses," CUNY j-prof Jeff Jarvis called the NPR board "ballless" and said the episode exposes the difference between NPR and the stations who run it, ex-Saloner Scott Rosenberg lamented NPR's allowing the O'Keefes of the world to take over public discourse, and Rosen and Northeastern j-prof Dan Kennedy told NPR to start fighting back. The Columbia Journalism Review's Joel Meares put it best Bactrim Over The Counter, , saying the fiasco "exposes them as an organization that is fundamentally weak—too concerned about its image to realize that 'surrender' is not always the best option."

The episode also stoked the fires of the perpetual debate over whether public radio should keep its federal funding. The Atlantic's Chris Good looked at the political aspects of the issue, Bactrim natural, and The Christian Science Monitor examined whether public radio stations would survive without federal money. A few calls to defund public radio came from outside the traditional (i.e. conservative) places, with Gawker's Hamilton Nolan and media analyst Alan Mutter arguing that NPR will be in an untenable situation as a political football as long as they're getting federal funds. Meanwhile, Where to buy Bactrim, here at the Lab, USC's Nikki Usher did give some encouraging information from the whole situation, looking at Schiller's legacy of digital and local innovation during her NPR tenure.

Making hyperlocal news personal: AOL continued its move into local news late last week, as it bought the hyperlocal news aggregator Outside.in, Bactrim Over The Counter. In an excellent analysis at the Lab, Ken Doctor argued that the purchase is a way for AOL to get bigger quickly, particularly by bulking up Patch's pageviews through cheap local aggregation tools. ReadWriteWeb's Marshall Kirkpatrick took the opportunity to ask why hyperlocal news technology services like Outside.in, Bactrim maximum dosage, Everyblock, and Fwix haven't been as useful as we had hoped.

Mathew Ingram of GigaOM posited an answer: Hyperlocal journalism only works if it's deeply connected with the community it serves, and those technologies aren't. Without that level of community, "AOL is pouring money into a bottomless pit, Bactrim used for, "he wrote. The Knight Digital Media Center's Amy Gahran said that might be where local news organizations can step in, focusing less on creating news articles and more on using their community trust to make local information useful, relevant and findable.

Elsewhere on the cheap-content front: All Things Digital reported that AOL is laying off hundreds of employees (including the widely expected gutting of several of its news sites), and Business Insider snagged the memo. Wired talked to two Google engineers Bactrim Over The Counter, about its anti-content farm changes, and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales said good content is created either by passionate fans or by proper journalists being paid a fair amount. But, he said, Bactrim description, "paying people a very low amount of money to write about stuff they don't care about — that doesn't work." And Dan Conover at Xark warned against turning content — especially hyperlocal — into a franchise formula.

Accountability and authenticity in online comments: TechCrunch was one of the first companies to try out Facebook's new commenting system, and after about a week, MG Siegler noted that the number of the site's comments had decreased, and they'd also gone from nasty to warm and fuzzy. Buy Bactrim without a prescription, Entrepreneur Steve Cheney proposed a reason why the comments were so "sterile and neutered": Facebook kills online authenticity, because everyone is self-censoring their statements to make sure their grandmas, ex-girlfriends, and entire social network won't be offended.

Tech guru Robert Scoble disagreed, arguing that TechCrunch's comments have improved, and people know real change and credibility only comes from using their real identities. Slate's Farhad Manjoo made a somewhat similar argument, Bactrim interactions, eloquently making the case for the elimination of anonymous commenting. GigaOM's Mathew Ingram weighed in by saying that Facebook can't make or break comments — it all depends on being involved in an actual conversation with users, Bactrim Over The Counter. He pointed to a brilliant post by NPR's Matt Thompson, who gave numerous tips on cultivating community in comments; much it went back to the idea that "The very best filter is an empowered, engaged adult."

Meanwhile, Joy Mayer of the Reynolds Journalism Institute got some advice on cultivating online reader engagement from the Wall Street Journal's Zach Seward, Ordering Bactrim online, and the Lab's Megan Garber reported on the results of some research into which stories are the most liked and shared on Facebook.

More paywall test cases: Newspapers continue to pound the paywall drumbeat, with the CEO of newspaper chain Gannett saying the company is experimenting with various pay models in anticipation of a potential one-time company-wide rollout and the Dallas Morning News rolling out its own paywall this week. Ken Doctor crunched the numbers to try to gauge the initiative's chances, and media consultant Mike Orren disagreed with the News' idea of how much a metro newspaper's operation should cost.

Elsewhere, Reuters' Felix Salmon made the case that Britain's Financial Times' paywall strategy has contributed to its decline, what is Bactrim, writing,"the FT strategy is exactly the strategy I would choose if I was faced with an industry in terminal decline, and wanted to extract as much money as possible from it before it died." Meanwhile, The New York Times' public editor, Arthur Brisbane, Buy cheap Bactrim,  chided the Times for not aggressively covering news of its own paywall, and Mathew Ingram of GigaOM called paywalls a futile attempt to hold back the tide of free online content.
