Synthroid For Sale

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Synthroid For Sale, on Dec. 3, 2010.]

We're covering two weeks instead of the usual one in this review, so there's a ton to pack in here. I'll try to zip through it a little more quickly than usual.

What to make of WikiLeaks: WikiLeaks made its third big document drop since this summer this week, releasing about 250,000 confidential diplomatic cables. Here's coverage by The New York Times, Synthroid duration,  The GuardianDer Spiegel, and a roundup by The Columbia Journalism Review. Time talked to WikiLeaks' Julian Assange about the leak, and Forbes published an interview and long piece about Assange's next target — corporate America, Synthroid For Sale.

As for the leak itself, The Guardian detailed the documents' path from the alleged leaker, U.S. soldier Bradley Manning, to Assange, to a Guardian reporter. Yahoo's Michael Calderone looked at The Times' editorial process with the cables, purchase Synthroid for sale, including the revelation that they got them from The Guardian, not WikiLeaks. The Wall Street Journal and CNN both declined to sign agreements with WikiLeaks to see the documents in advance, and The Journal examined news orgs' decisions on whether or not to publish. The Times explained its own publishing decision, then (quite eloquently) responded to readers' objections. Synthroid For Sale, The reaction against WikiLeaks was quicker and harsher than those following each of its last two leaks. Before the documents were released, its site was hacked, the U.S. Purchase Synthroid online no prescription, and British governments issued pre-emptive condemnations, and senators called for WikiLeaks to be prosecuted. After the release, the Obama administration said it was indeed pursuing a criminal investigation, Interpol revealed it has put out a call for Assange's arrest (ostensibly for his rape accusations), and Amazon booted WikiLeaks from its servers under pressure from U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman, Synthroid For Sale.

WikiLeaks' actions left many journalists and media observers divided: An Economist blogger accused WikiLeaks of degenerating into gossip, and even Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger called them enemies of the American people. Assange and WikiLeaks had their defenders, purchase Synthroid, too: Slate's Jack Shafer praised them for puncturing "the prerogative of secrecy," and another Economist blogger made a similar argument. The Guardian's Simon Jenkins noted that "the job of the media is not to protect power from embarrassment." Meanwhile, Northeastern j-prof Dan Kennedy wrestled with the balance between transparency and secrecy.

Others' primary concern was not value judgments, but classification. Is WikiLeaks  Synthroid For Sale, espionage. Journalism? Radically open government? Or, as CUNY j-prof C.W. Purchase Synthroid online, Anderson argued, is it a facilitator of real-time history documentation. NYU j-prof Jay Rosen hashed out his thoughts on WikiLeaks as a stateless news organization on video, concluding, "The watchdog press died, and what we have is WikiLeaks instead." Paul Balcerak wondered why WikiLeaks gets so much more attention than the press's own reporting.

If you really want to spend the weekend pondering the meaning of WikiLeaks, it's best to start with two posts: Some incisive questions by Salon's Dan Gillmor, and a brilliant post by Aaron Bady sifting through Assange's own words to determine his motivations behind WikiLeaks' radical transparency.

Rupert's big tablet splash: We've heard bits and pieces about Rupert Murdoch's planned tablet-based national news publication, but we got the first substantive report on the subject two weeks ago from Women's Wear Daily, Synthroid For Sale. Among the key details: It's going by The Daily, Synthroid price, coupon, it has a staff of 100, it'll cost 99 cents a week, and it'll come out once a day. The New York Observer gave us some more information about the publication's design (it's text-first and will be published overnight, but apparently looks pretty cool). Other tidbits: John Gruber at Daring Fireball heard that it'll pioneer a new app subscription API from Apple, and New York's Gabriel Snyder said it will have a centrist editorial outlook.

The reasons why this project is getting so much pre-launch attention seem pretty readily evident: Murdoch, Synthroid mg, original tablet news org, iPad news subscriptions, you know the rest. As The Columbia Journalism Review noted Synthroid For Sale, , what's new about this publication is that it won't even have a website. The initial response from the media-watching world was predominantly negative, with skepticism coming from The New York Times' David Carr, Gawker's Ryan TateScott RosenbergSam Diaz of ZDNet, GigaOM's Mathew Ingram, Fast Company's Kit Eaton, comprar en línea Synthroid, comprar Synthroid baratos, The Guardian's Emily Bell, and paidContent's Andrew Wallenstein.

Many of those critics made similar points, so here's a roundup of the main ones: 1) It's trying to impose slow print-think onto the speed-oriented world of mobile media (this is Rosenberg's main point); 2) The fact that it won't have inbound or outbound links means it can't share in the virality that makes news on the Web work; 3) The folks on board don't exactly seem like the tech revolutionaries they might need to be (Wallenstein's main point); and 4) How many people are actually going to pay for this, and can it really cover The Daily's costs. (Carr's main objection)

Several of those people also noted a few factors in Murdoch's favor: Carr argued that people will be more likely to pay for news in an app world than on the web, and both Tate and Eaton noted that Apple's Steve Jobs (who is reported to be tied to the project) is a pretty powerful guy with a history of success in ventures like these. We got a few good suggestions for Murdoch's project, Doses Synthroid work, too: TechCrunch's Erick Schonfeld said to make it local, real-time, and social; Frederic Filloux wanted it speedy, simple, beyond Apple, and with adjustable pricing; and at paidContent, Nic Newman wanted to see a mixture of free and paid content.

Designing apps for tablets and mobile media: Murdoch isn't the only one with a big new tablet app to unveil: Yahoo's Joe Pompeo summarized two others — mini-magazines called Nomad Editions and a new iPad magazine by Virgin called Project, Synthroid For Sale. Of those, Project, announced Tuesday, ordering Synthroid online, got a bit more attention. PaidContent had some details about its video cover and "living magazine" mindset, and All Things Digital's Peter Kafka pointed out the magazine's rather intimidating instruction page, though David Carr told NPR it's still pretty magazine-like.

Also in the process of launching: Next Issue Media, a joint venture by several magazine magnates, will launch its digital newsstand early next year and gave some details to MediaWeek, and Swedish publisher Bonnier, Synthroid photos, whose Mag+ everyone loved, is expanding into News+. Meanwhile, the Financial Times' iPad app is doing well, but The Guardian's Dan Sabbagh remained skeptical that most newspapers' iPad apps will be able to stand out among the sea of more enjoyable apps.

A couple more smart thoughts on mobile media: PaidContent founder Rafat Ali talked about Synthroid For Sale, designing for touchscreens, and Poynter's Damon Kiesow argued that smartphones are fundamentally a mobile device, while the iPad is a leisure device, so their apps can't be imposed onto each other: "To fully serve and engage an audience, an app needs to target one distinctive strength — either location or leisure — and make the content and experience fit that use."

Gawker grows beyond the blog: In advance of its coming overhaul early next year, Gawker head Nick Denton wrote a manifesto explaining why the network of sites is going beyond the blog format (his post at the previous link is in the sites' new design). Denton said he's discovered the new formula for online media success: Not so much Gawker's former trademark snarky meta-analysis, but a few huge juicy scoops accompanied by a steady stream of aggregation, all with a visual bent. He extended the model to include advertising and branding as well.

Reuters' Felix Salmon responded with a meticulous analysis of Gawker's new direction, Synthroid description, noting that while Denton was the first person to make blogging into "a large-scale commercial venture," he's now aggressively dumping blogging's defining reverse-chronological format. Ron Mwangaguhunga of eMedia Vitals compared Gawker's new model with a TV business model, and Anil Dash said that while Gawker is still a blog, it's borrowing Twitter's design that emphasizes both content and the stream of news. "By allowing that flow to continue regardless of which particular piece of embedded content has caught your eye, Gawker and Twitter are just showing the vibrancy and resilience of the format."

Why Twitter matters: Speaking of Twitter, Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger offered a stirring defense of Twitter's meaning for journalism as part of a lecture on the state of the Fourth Estate. His list of 15 reasons Twitter matters covers most everything: Reporting, conversation, aggregation, search, marketing, authority, writing, Synthroid For Sale. Likewise, Synthroid street price, GigaOM's Mathew Ingram argued that Twitter's real cultural power "could well be that it is the simplest, the easiest and arguably one of the most efficient forms of mass publishing — or at least micro-publishing — ever invented."

Later, Ingram took Twitter co-founder Biz Stone's apparently off-the-cuff statement that Twitter could develop a news network as an opportunity to think about how news orgs could filter Twitter into a usable crowdsourced newswire. And MediaBistro talked with Canada's National Post to get a sense of how one major newspaper uses Twitter.

Business-model developments and discussion: A few notes on the ever-evolving paid-content front: At least two more news organizations are using the Press+ system of Steve Brill's Journalism Online for their online revenue goals — ProPublica, which is using it to solicit donations online, and Oklahoma State's Daily O'Collegian, which will charge outside-the-area readers. Over at The Guardian, Cory Doctorow examined The Times of London's paywall numbers, and CrunchGear's Devin Coldewey thought out loud about a possible online paid-content system, order Synthroid from United States pharmacy.

Meanwhile, British journalist Kevin Anderson wrote a post arguing that value-added journalism has to be developed with specific revenue streams in mind. Howard Owens of The Batavian countered Synthroid For Sale, that would-be entrepreneurial journalists need to focus more on basic local events journalism than "adding value" or analytical journalism, and TBD's Steve Buttry tried to bring the two perspectives together.

Reading roundup: Here's what else you should see this week, in the quickest-hit form I can give it to you:

— A British court upheld a stipulation that news organizations can charge paid online news monitoring agencies for using their content. The TelegraphTechCrunch Europe, and the Press Gazette explain why it's bad news for aggregators.

— No less an authority than World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee joined the chorus of people extolling the value of data journalism during a panel. A somewhat related debate broke out when Mark Luckie opined on the myths about digital journalism skills. Discount Synthroid, Journalist Andy Boyle disputed Luckie's claims about what new-media skills journalists need (and don't need) to know, and j-prof Mindy McAdams and journalist Brian Manzullo chimed in. Anthony DeBarros and Robert Hernandez turned the discussion toward data journalism, with Hernandez asserting that programming doesn't replace the story. That got Michelle Minkoff kind of riled up, Synthroid For Sale.

— The New York Times ran an article looking at the ways technology is creating increased distractions for young people, which was met by smart rebuttals by Duke prof Cathy Davidson and the Lab's own Megan Garber.

— Also at the Lab: USC prof Henry Jenkins on his concept of "spreadable" media.

— Mashable's Vadim Lavrusik wrote a great roundup of what's going on at the intersection of investigative journalism and social media.

— Finally, if you're looking for a single document to answer the question, "How should newspapers adapt to this new media environment?" you can't do much better than John Paton's presentation on how he's turned around the Journal Register Co. It's brilliant.

Armour Over The Counter

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Armour Over The Counter, on Oct. 29, 2010.]

Coverage of WikiLeaks gets personal: There were two big stories everyone spent the whole week talking about, and both actually happened late last week. We'll start with what's easily the bigger one in the long term: WikiLeaks' release last Friday of 400,000 documents regarding the Iraq War. The Iraq War Logs were released in partnership with several news organizations around the world, including Al-Jazeera, Armour scheduleThe New York TimesDer Spiegel and Le Monde. (The Columbia Journalism Review wrote a good roundup of the initial coverage.)

The Guardian and The Times in particular used the documents to put together some fascinating pieces of data journalism, and The Columbia Journalism Review's Lauren Kirchner looked at how they did it. Armour long term, The folks at Journalism.co.uk wrote a couple of postsdetailing WikiLeaks' collaborative efforts on the release, particularly their work with the new British nonprofit Bureau of Investigative Journalism. A French nonprofit that also worked with WikiLeaks, OWNI, told its own story of the project, Armour Over The Counter.

Despite all that collaborative work, the news coverage of the documents fizzled over the weekend and into this week, leading two reporting vets to write to the media blog Romenesko to posit reasons why the traditional media helped throw cold water on the story. John Parker pointed to the military press — "Too many military reporters in the online/broadcast field have simply given up their watchdog role for the illusion of being a part of power" — and David Cay Johnston urged journalists to check out the documents, rather than trusting official sources.

There was another WikiLeaks-related story that got almost as much press as the documents themselves: The internal tension at the organization and the ongoing mystery surrounding its frontman, Armour treatment, Julian Assange. The Times and the British paper The Independent both dug into those issues, and Assange walked out of a CNN interview after repeated questions about sexual abuse allegations he's faced in Sweden. That coverage was met with plenty of criticism — Assange and The Columbia Journalism Review ripped CNN, and Salon blogger Glenn Greenwald joined Assange in tearing into The Times. Armour Over The Counter, After being chastised by the U.S. Defense Department this summer for not redacting names of informants in its Afghanistan leak this summer, WikiLeaks faced some criticism this time around from Forbes' Jeff Bercovici and Gawker's John Cook for going too far with the redaction. Armour without a prescription, A few other WikiLeaks-related strains of thought: Mark Feldstein at the American Journalism Review compared WikiLeaks with old-school investigative journalism, Barry Schuler wondered whether the governmental animosity toward WikiLeaks will lead to regulations of the Internet, and CUNY j-prof Jeff Jarvis wrote about the way WikiLeaks is bringing us toward the dawn of the age of transparency. "Only when and if government realizes that its best defense is openness will we see transparency as a good in itself and not just a weapon to expose the bad," he said.

NPR, Fox News and objectivity: The other story that dominated the future-of-news discussion (and the news discussion in general) was NPR's firing last week of news analyst Juan Williams for comments about Muslims he made on Fox News. Conversation about the firing took off late last week and didn't slow down until about Wednesday this week. NPR kept finding it tougher to defend the firing as the criticism piled up, and by the weekend, NPR CEO Vivian Schiller had apologized for how she handled the firing (but not for the firing itself), Armour Over The Counter. NPR got a bomb threat over the incident, Armour pictures, and even PBS, which has had nothing whatsoever to do with Williams, was deluged with angry emailers.

Conversation centered on two issues: First, and more immediately, why Williams was fired and whether he should have been. Where can i buy Armour online, Longtime reporter James Naughton and The Awl's Abe Sauer thought Williams should have been fired years ago because he appeared on Fox, where he's only used as a prop in Fox's efforts to incite faux-news propaganda. NYU professor Jay Rosen put it more carefully, saying that given NPR's ironclad commitment to the objective view from nowhere, "there was no way he could abide by NPR’s rules — which insist on viewlessness as a guarantor of trust — and appear on Fox, where the clash of views is basic to what the network does to generate audience" — not to mention that that viewlessness renders the entire position of "news analyst" problematic. Armour Over The Counter, Along with Rosen, Time media critic James Poniewozik and Lehigh j-prof Jeremy Littau advocated for greater transparency as a way to prevent needless scandals like these. Former NPR host Farai Chideya emphasized a different angle, asserting that Williams was kept on for years as his relationship with NPR eroded because he's a black man, Armour reviews. Said Chideya, who's African-American herself: "Williams' presence on air was a fig-leaf for much broader and deeper diversity problems at the network."

The other issue was both broader and more politically driven: Should NPR lose its public funding. Republican Sen. Jim DeMint said he would introduce a bill to that effect, and conservatives echoed his call for defunding (though NPR gets only 1 to 2 percent of its budget from public funding — and even that's from competitive federal grants). Politico noted how difficult it would be to actually take NPR's public funding, and a poll indicated that Americans are split on the issue straight down party lines, Armour Over The Counter.

Those calling for the cut got some support, Fast shipping Armour, however indirect, from a couple of people in the media world: Slate's Jack Shafer said NPR and public radio stations should wean themselves from public funding so they can stop being tossed around as a political pawn, and New York Sun founding editor Eric Lipsky argued that NPR's subsidies make it harder for private entrepreneurs to raise money for highbrow journalism. There were counter-arguments, too: The Atlantic's James Fallows gave a passionate defense of NPR's value as a news organization, and LSU grad student Matt Schafer made the case for public media in general.

Magazines disappoint on the iPad: Advertising Age collected circulation figures for the first six months of magazines' availability on the iPad and compared it to print circulation, getting decided mixed results, Armour trusted pharmacy reviews. (Science/tech mags did really well; general interest titles, not so much.) The site's Nat Ives concluded that iPad ad rates might drop as result, and that "Magazines' iPad editions won't really get in gear until big publishers and Apple agree on some kind of system for subscription offers."

Former New York Times design director Khoi Vinh gave a stinging critique of those magazines' iPad apps, saying they're at odds with how people actually use the device. " Armour Over The Counter, They’re bloated, user-unfriendly and map to a tired pattern of mass media brands trying vainly to establish beachheads on new platforms without really understanding the platforms at all," he said. In a follow-up, he talked a bit about why their current designs are a "stand-in for true experimentation."

Meanwhile, Where can i cheapest Armour online, news organizations continue to rush to the iPad: The New York Post came out with an iPad app that The Village Voice's Foster Kamer really, really liked, The Oklahoman became another one of the first few newspapers to offer its own iPad subscription outside of Apple's iTunes payment system, PBS launched its own iPad app, and News Corp. is moving forward with plans for a new tabloid created just for tablets.

Two opposite paid-content moves: It was somewhat lost in the WikiLeaks-Williams hoopla, but we got news of three new online paid-content plans for news this week. The biggest change is at the National Journal, Armour price, coupon, a political magazine that's long charged very high prices and catered to Washington policy wonks but relaunched this week as a newsstand-friendly print product and a largely free website that will shoot for 80 updates a day. The Lab's Laura McGann looked at the Journal's new free-pay hybrid web plan, in contrast to its largely paid, niche website previously.

Meanwhile, Politico said it plans to move into exactly the same web territory the Journal is leaving, launching a high-price subscription news service on health care, energy and technology for Washington insiders in addition to its free site and print edition, Armour Over The Counter. And the Associated Press gave more details on its proposed rights clearinghouse for publishers, which will allow them to tag online content and monitor and regulate how it's being used and how they're being paid for it. Is Armour addictive, We also have some more data on an ongoing paid-content experiment — Rupert Murdoch's paywall at The Times of London. Yup, the audience is way down, just like everyone suspected.

Reading roundup: Outside of those two huge stories, it was a relatively quiet week. Armour Over The Counter, Here are a few interesting bits and pieces that emerged:

— The awful last few weeks for the Tribune Co. came to a head last Friday when CEO Randy Michaels resigned, leaving a four-member council to guide the company through bankruptcy. The same day, the company filed a reorganization plan that turns it over to its leading creditors. The Chicago Reader's Michael Miner gave a good postmortem for the Michaels era, pointing a finger primarily at the man who hired him, Order Armour from mexican pharmacy, Sam Zell.

— Wired's Fred Vogelstein declared Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon our new (media) overlords. (No indication of whether he, for one, welcomes them.) MediaPost's Joe Marchese mused a bit about where each of those four companies fits in the new media landscape.

— The Atlantic's Michael Hirschorn wrote a thought-provoking expression of a popular recent argument: If the Internet gives all of us our own facts, Armour steet value, how are we supposed to find any common ground for discussion.

— And since I know you're in the mood for scientific-looking formulas, check out Lois Beckett's examination here at the Lab of Philly.com's calculation of online engagement, then take a look at her follow-up post on where revenue fits in.

Glucophage Mg

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Glucophage Mg, on Oct. 15, 2010.]

Advances for paid content on the iPad: We start this week with a whole bunch of data points regarding journalism and mobile devices; I'll try to tie them together for you the best I can. Conde Nast, one of the world's largest magazine publishers, has done the most thorough iPad research we've seen so far, with more than 100 hours of in-person interviews and in-app surveys with more than 5, Glucophage used for, 000 respondents. Conde Nast released some of its findings this week, which included five pieces of advice for mobile advertisers that were heavy on interactivity and clear navigation. They also discovered some good news for mobile advertisers: The iPad's early users aren't simply the typical tech-geek early adopter set, and about four-fifths of them were happy with their experiences with Conde Nast's apps.

MocoNews had the most detailed look at Conde Nast's study, arguing that the fact that iPads are shared extensively means they're not being treated as a mobile device, buy generic Glucophage. Users also seemed to spend much more time with the mobile versions of the magazines than the print versions, though that data's a little cloudy, Glucophage Mg. NPR has also done some research on its users via Twitter and Facebook, and the Lab's Justin Ellis reported that they've found that those listeners are generally younger, hardcore listeners. Together, Facebook and Twitter account for 7 to 8 percent of NPR's web traffic, Online buying Glucophage, though Facebook generates six times as much as Twitter.

There were also a few items on newspapers and the iPad: Forbes' Jeff Bercovici reported that the New York Post will become the first newspaper without a paid website to start selling an iPad app subscription. The subscription is only sold inside the app, a strategy that The Next Web's Martin Bryant called a psychological trick that "makes users feel less like they’re paying for news and more like they’re 'Just buying another app.'" The British newspaper The Financial Times said its iPad app has made about £1 million in advertising revenue since it was launched in May, but as Poynter's Damon Kiesow noted, local papers have been slow to jump on the iPad train, with only a dozen of launching apps so far, Glucophage gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release. Glucophage Mg, Meanwhile, GigaOM's Mathew Ingram ripped most magazine iPad apps for a lack of interactivity, openness or user control, saying,"the biggest flaw for me is the total lack of acknowledgment that the device this content appears on is part of the Internet, and therefore it is possible to connect the content to other places with more information about a topic."But some news organizations are already busy preparing for the next big thing: According to The Wall Street Journal, some national news orgs have begun developing content for Samsung's new tablet, the Galaxy, which is scheduled to be released later this year.

Too much of a good story?: Regardless of where you were this week, the huge story was the rescue of 33 Chilean miners who had been trapped underground for more than two months. The fact that it was such an all-encompassing story is, of course, a media story in itself: TV broadcasters planned wall-to-wall coverage beforehand, Herbal Glucophage, and that coverage garnered massive ratings in the U.S. and elsewhere. (We followed on the web, too.) With 2,000 journalists at the site, the event became a global media spectacle the likes of which we haven't seen in a while.

The coverage had plenty of critics, many of them upset about the excessive amount of resources devoted to a story with little long-term impact by news organizations that are making significant cuts to coverage elsewhere, Glucophage Mg. The point couldn't have been finer in the case of the BBC, comprar en línea Glucophage, comprar Glucophage baratos, which spent more than £100,000 on its rescue coverage, leading it to slash the budget for upcoming stories like the Cancun climate change meetings and Lisbon NATO summit.

The sharpest barbs belonged to NYU prof Jay Rosen and Lehigh prof Jeremy Littau"The proportion of response to story impact is perhaps the best illustration of the insanity we seen in media business choices today," Littau wrote, Buy Glucophage without a prescription, adding,"I see an industry chasing hits and page views by wasting valuable economic and human capital." Lost Remote's Steve Safran pointed out that the degree of coverage had much more to do with the fact that coverage could be planned than with its newsworthiness.

Rupert keeps pushing into paywalls: After his Times and Sunday Times went behind a paywall this summer, Rupert Murdoch added another newspaper to his online paid-content empire this week: The British tabloid News of the World. Access to the paper's site will cost a pound a day or £1.99 for four weeks, and will include some web exclusives, including a new video section, no prescription Glucophage online. PaidContent gave the new site itself a good review Glucophage Mg, , saying it's an improvement over the old one.

The business plan behind the paywall didn't get such kind reviews. As with The Times' paywall, News of the World's content will be hidden from Google and other search engines, and while paidContent reported that its videos had been reposted on YouTube before the site even launched, the paper's digital editor told Journalism.co.uk that it's working aggressively to keep its content within the site, Glucophage wiki, including calling in the lawyers if need be. The Press Gazette's Dominic Ponsford argued that the new site formally marks Murdoch's retreat from the web: "Without any inbound or outbound links, and invisible to Google and other search engines, the NotW, Times and Sunday Times don’t really have internet sites – but digitally delivered editions."British journalist Kevin Anderson was a little more charitable, saying the strategy just might be an early step toward a frictionless all-app approach to digital news.

As for Murdoch's other paywall experiment at The Times, Glucophage class, two editors gave a recent talk (reported by Editors Weblog) that juxtaposed two interesting ideas: The editors claimed that a subscription-based website makes them more focused on the user, then touted this as an advantage of the iPad: "People consume how you want them to consume."

News orgs' kibosh on political participation: NPR created a bit of buzz this week when it sent a memo to employees explaining that they were not allowed to attend the upcoming rallies by comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert (unless they were covering the events), as they constitute unethical participation in a political rally. The rule forbidding journalists to participate in political rallies is an old one in newsrooms, and at least eight of the U.S.' largest news organizations told The Huffington Post their journalists also wouldn't be attending the rallies outside of work, Glucophage Mg.

NPR senior VP Dana Davis Rehm explained in a post on its site that NPR issued the memo to clear up any confusion about whether the rallies, which are at least partly satirical in nature, About Glucophage, were in fact political. NPR's fresh implementation prompted a new round of criticism of the longstanding rule, especially from those skeptical of efforts at "objective" journalism: The Wrap's Dylan Stableford called it "insane," Northeastern j-prof Dan Kennedy said the prohibition keeps journalists from observing and learning, and CUNY j-prof Jeff Jarvis made a similar point, arguing that "NPR is forbidding its employees to be curious."

A closer look at Denton and Huffington: In the past week, we've gotten long profiles of two new media magnates in a New Yorker piece on Gawker chief Nick Denton and a Forbes story on Arianna Huffington and her Huffington Post, Glucophage no rx. (Huffington also gave a good Q&A to Investor's Business Daily.) Reaction to the Denton articles was pretty subdued, but former Gawker editor Elizabeth Spiers (who wrote the Huffington piece) had some interesting thoughts about how Gawker has become part of the mainstream, though not everyone agrees whether its success is replicable.

Figures in the pieces prompted Reuters' Felix Salmon and Forbes' Jeff Bercovici to break down the sites' valuation. Glucophage Mg, (Salmon only looks at Gawker, though Bercovici compares the two in traffic value and in their owners' roles.) The two networks have long been rivals, and Denton noted that thanks to a couple of big sports-related scandals, Gawker's traffic beat the Post's for the first time ever this week. Also this week, Rx free Glucophage, Huffington announced she'd pay $250,000 to send buses to Jon Stewart's rally later this month, an idea the Wrap said some of her employees weren't crazy about.

Reading roundup: Busy, busy week this week. We'll see how much good stuff I can point you toward before your eyes start glazing over.

— A few follow-ups to last week's discussion of Howard Kurtz's move from The Washington Post to The Daily Beast: The New York Times' David Carr wrote a lyrical column comparing writing for print and for the web, Glucophage samples, PBS MediaShift's Mark Glaser interviewed Kurtzon Twitter, and former ESPN.com writer Dan Shanoff pointed out that the move from mainstream media to the web began in the sports world.

— An update on the debate over content farms: MediaWeek ran an article explaining why advertisers like them so much; one of those content farms, Demand Media said in an SEC filing that it plans to spend $50 million to $75 million on investments in content next year; and one hyperlocal operation accused of running on a content-farm model, AOL's Patch, responded to its critics' allegations, Glucophage Mg.

— Two interesting discussions between The Guardian and Jeff Jarvis: Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger posted some thoughts about his concept of the Fourth Estate — the traditional press, public media, and the web's public sphere — and Jarvis responded by calling the classification "correct but temporary." The Guardian's Roy Greenslade also wrote about his concern for the news/advertising divide as journalists become entrepreneurs, Glucophage dose, and Jarvis, an entrepreneurial journalism advocate, defended his cause.

— Three other good reads before we're done:

GigaOM's Mathew Ingram told newspapers it's better to join Groupon than to fight it.

Newspaper analyst Alan Mutter laid out French research that illuminates just how far digital natives' values are from those of the newspaper industry — and what a hurdle those newspapers have in reaching those consumers.

Scott Rosenberg looked at the closed systems encroaching on the web and asked a thought-provoking question: Is the openness that has defined the web destined to be just a parenthesis in a longer history of control. It's a big question and, as Rosenberg reminds us, a critical one for the future of news.

Armour Price

Les Moonves Armour Price, , president of CBS Corp., was in Austin on Monday to receive an award from the University of Texas and give a lecture called "The Networks Strike Back: How Old Media Has Adapted to the New World." It was exactly what you'd guess from the title: A full-throated defense of the broadcast networks' vitality in a media landscape where new media companies like Google, Apple, Amazon and Netflix are making most of the headlines and shaping most of the media consumption.

Moonves' talk could have been subtitled: "It's still the content, stupid." His argument was simple: All these devices and platforms may be changing the way we consume media, but they're not changing the content we consume on that media. Well-produced, buy no prescription Armour online, high-quality content will win out on any platform, and the deep-pocketed networks (CBS in particular, of course) are still the ones producing that "professional content" without which the new-media innovations wouldn't have any real value. Armour over the counter, Moonves was unshakably optimistic — he didn't give the curmudgeon's dismissal of the Internet; he simply described it as just another medium for the existing media powers like his own company to colonize and extend their brands.

Before his talk, Moonves took some questions from 15 or so UT grad students (I was one) and gave a few more candid applications of his philosophy — you might call it a sort of new media Manifest Destiny — to various areas. Here are a few of the choice quotes, Armour Price.

"No matter how they share it, they have to come to us for our content, Armour natural. And we're going to get paid properly for it, or else we're not going to do it."

This was in response to a question about what CBS was doing to put their content on mobile devices. This is the issue of the day at CBS, Buy cheap Armour no rx, Moonves said, though the company is comfortable in taking it at their own pace.

Moonves spoke about the Googles, Apples and Amazons of the world with what I saw a sort of veiled condescension — he repeatedly referred to their executives as "geniuses" who were changing the way the world consumes media, but without quality content, fast shipping Armour, he said, their technologies are just blank screens. Armour Price, And because Moonves sees CBS' content as holding so much value, he's fine with withholding that content from a platform until he feels it gets the money it's worth.

The second part of that quote is a common sentiment among media executives these days, Armour from canada, but you usually see it followed with something to the effect of, "...and that's why we're going to begin charging for all of our online content, starting in 2011..." But when it was brought up later, Moonves was pretty cool to the idea of a paywall for news (he was never directly asked about it, but said he doesn't believe anybody would pay for CBS News' content online because they can get it for free elsewhere), order Armour no prescription.

So Moonves is pretty picky about getting paid for CBS' content, but he's also picky about what content he'll charge for and where. CBS is the only network that doesn't put its videos on Hulu, After Armour, because Moonves wants to be free to use them elsewhere, too. As for Apple's world of products ...

"Let's see how your experiment goes, and my guess is if we want to join in January, you'll take our content."

This was Moonves' characterization of his conversation with Apple's Steve Jobs' (or, more precisely, Jobs' people — he said he's only talked to Steve about paid content once) about Apple's new 99-cent TV show rental plan through iTunes, Armour Price.

Moonves seems to have no problem taking a wait-and-see approach with new content forms and pricing plans: Watch others experiment, and if it looks successful, where can i buy Armour online, jump on it. He made it clear that CBS does want to be involved in this stuff — it's just going to do it on its own terms, because as Moonves sees it, Canada, mexico, india, CBS holds all the cards as a provider of valuable content. As he said in his lecture, "The guys who produce the best content, the best programming, are in the driver's seat."

"It has to change, kjøpe Armour på nett, köpa Armour online. Otherwise, it will go down."

Moonves on the half-hour evening newscast. Armour Price, CBS will always produce a nightly evening newscast, Moonves said, as it's "part of our agreement with the American people that we will do that." But he sees the form of that newscast changing radically — and probably soon.

He tossed out the idea of turning the evening news into more of a Nightline-style in-depth examination of one or two issues, Armour photos, or an extended discussion a la Face the Nation.

Some of the reason for those changes is the fact that by the time people get home in the evening, they already know the day's news, Moonves said. But another key factor is cost, what is Armour. Moonves said repeatedly that the model of maintaining costly foreign bureaus and a sizable reporting staff primarily to feed only a half-hour daily news show isn't a good one, and CBS hasn't been doing it as well since its extensive cuts over the past several years. A nightly show based on fewer issues or commentary would be much cheaper — though an often-discussed merger with CNN (which Moonves referenced without going into specifics) would change those economics quite a bit, too, Armour Price.

"The Katie Couric deal will be the last big deal of that kind ever done. Armour gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, ... Those days are over, because the news no longer generates the kind of revenue or success that's worth doing [those contracts]."

Another way to cut costs: Don't sign marquee anchors to eight-figure annual salaries. Not only was Moonves he won't do that again, but he was asserting that no one will do that again, Armour use. Armour Price, Why.

"We thought it would make a difference. It didn't."

Oh. I guess there's that.

"We have to be down the middle as best we can. We have licenses. We are a public trust."

This was Moonves' response to a question about whether CBS would begin moving into advocacy journalism with the cable-news success of MSNBC and Fox News. As a network, we have a responsibility to play everything down the middle, Moonves said. It's certainly not a surprising response, though it is yet another affirmation of the dominance of Jay Rosen's "view from nowhere" in the mainstream American political press.

Zoloft Mg

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Zoloft Mg, on July 16, 2010.]

Should papers charge for obits online?: We've written a whole bunch about Steve Brill's paid-online-news venture Journalism Online around these parts, and the company's first Press+ system went live on a newspaper site this week, with Pennsylvania's LancasterOnline obits section going to a metered pay model for out-of-town visitors. PaidContent has a good summary of how the arrangement works: Out-of-towners get to view seven obits a month, after which point they're asked to pay $1.99 a month or $19.99 a year for more access. Obits make up only 6 percent of the site's pageviews, but the paper's editor is estimating $50,000 to $150,000 in revenue from the paywall. Zoloft samples, Poynter's Bill Mitchell offered a detailed look at the numbers behind the decision and said the plan has several characteristics in its favor: It has valuable content that's tough to find elsewhere, flexible payment, and doesn't alienate core (local) readers. (He did note, though, that the paper isn't providing anything new of value.) Most other media watchers on the web weren't so impressed. MinnPost's David Brauer was skeptical of Lancaster's revenue projections, but noted that obits are a big deal for small-town papers, Zoloft Mg. Lost Remote's David Weinfeld was dubious of the estimates, too, purchase Zoloft for sale, wondering how many out-of-towners would actually be willing to pay to read obit after obit. GrowthSpur's Mark Potts' denouncement of the plan is the most sweeping: "Every assumption it's based on—from projected audience to the percentage of readers that might be willing to pay—is flawed."

TBD's Steve Buttry posted his own critique of the plan, centering on the fact that the paper is double-dipping by charging people to both read and publish obits. The paper's editor, Ernie Schreiber, fired back with a rebuttal (the experiment is intended to help define their online audience, After Zoloft, he said, and no, they're not double-dipping any more than charging for an ad and a subscription), and Buttry responded with a point-by-point counter. Finally, Buttry came up with the most constructive part of the discussion: A proposal for newspapers on how to handle obituaries, with seven different free and paid obit options for newspapers to offer families. Jeff Sonderman offered a different type of proposal Zoloft Mg, , arguing that obituaries should be free to place and read, because if they aren't, they're about to be Craigslisted.

Meanwhile, MinnPost's Brauer discovered that all you need to bypass the paywall is FireFox's NoScript add-on, and Schreiber added a few more work-arounds while responding that he's not worried, because the tech-geek and obit-junkie crowds don't have a whole lot of overlap. Reuters' Felix Salmon backed Schreiber up, Zoloft cost, arguing that a loose paywall is much better than a firm one that unwittingly harasses loyal customers.

A new level of news-advertising fusion: We may have caught a glimpse into one less-than-savory aspect of the future of journalism late last week through the sports media world, when ESPN aired "The Decision." Here's what happened, for the sports-averse: 25-year-old NBA superstar LeBron James was set to make his much-anticipated free agency decision this summer, and ESPN agreed to air James' announcement of which team he'd play for last Thursday night on a one-hour special. The arrangement originated from freelance sportscaster Jim Gray and James' marketing company, Buy Zoloft online no prescription, which dictated the site of the special, James' interviewer (Gray, naturally), and a deal in which the show's advertising proceeds (all lined up by James' company) would go toward James' designated charity, the Boys and Girls Club. ESPN insisted that it would otherwise have full editorial control.

The show — and particularly the manner in which it was set up — received universally scathing reviews from sports media watchers: Sports Illustrated media critic Richard Deitsch called it "the worst thing ESPN has ever put its name to," legendary sportswriter Buzz Bissinger said ESPN's ethical conflict was so big it can never be fully trusted as a news source, Baltimore Sun TV critic David Zurawik fumed that "never in the history of sports has the media behaved in a such a whored-out, dazed, confused and crass a manner," and LA Times media critic James Rainey accused ESPN of playing up both sides of a spectacle it created, Zoloft Mg.

The ethical conflict seemed even worse when there was a report that Gray, the interviewer, where can i buy Zoloft online, was paid by James, rather than ESPN (as it turned out, ESPN covered his expenses, but other than that he says he wasn't paid at all). But the true details, as revealed by Advertising Age, Buy cheap Zoloft, were almost as shocking: ESPN had previously hoped to arrange a special program before its sports awards show, the ESPYs, with James handing out the first award just after his announcement.

Ad Age's phenomenal article hammered home another important point for those concerned about the future of news: This program represented a new level of integration between advertising and news, and even a new breed of advertiser-driven news programming. Ad Age detailed the remarkable amount of exposure that the program's advertisers received, and included superagent Ari Emanuel, the man who orchestrated the arrangement, boasting that "we're getting closer to pushing the needle on advertiser-content programming." In his typically overheated style, buy Zoloft from canada, Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi called the show "the prototype for all future news coverage," in which a few dominant news organizations create their own versions of reality in a race for advertising money, while a few scattered web denizens try to ferret out the real story.

Replacing the newspaper, or complementing it?: This week, the University of Missouri School of Journalism publicized a study that its scholars published this spring comparing citizen-driven news sites and blogs with daily newspaper websites. Zoloft Mg, The takeaway claim from Mizzou's press release — and, in turn, Editor & Publisher's blurb — was that citizen journalism sites aren't replacing the work that was being done by downsizing traditional news organizations. Effects of Zoloft, Not surprisingly, that drew a few people's criticism: Ars Technica's John Timmer said the study provides evidence not so much that citizen-driven sites are doing poorly, but that legacy media sites are embracing many of the web's best practices. He and TBD's Jeff Sonderman also pointed out that if one startup news site is lacking in an area, web users are smart enough to just find another one. The question isn't whether a citizen journalism site can replace a newspaper site, Sonderman said, it's whether a whole amateur system, buy Zoloft online cod, with its capacity for growth and specialization, can complement or replace the one newspaper site in town.

TBD's Steve Buttry (who must have had a lot of free time this week) delivered a point-by-point critique of the site, making a couple of salient points: The study ignores the recent spate of professional online-only news organizations and vastly over-represents traditional news sites' relative numbers, and, of course, Buy Zoloft without prescription, the long-argued point that the question of whether one type of journalism can replace another is silly and pointless. One of the Mizzou scholars responded to Buttry, which he quotes at the end of his post, that the researchers had no old-media agenda, Zoloft Mg.

After hearing about all of that debate, it's kind of strange to read the study itself, because it doesn't actually include any firm conclusions about the ability of citizen-led sites to replace newspapers. In its discussion section, the study does make a passing reference to "the inability of citizen news sites to become substitutes for daily newspaper sites" and briefly states that those sites would be better substitutes for weekly papers, but the overall conclusion of the study is that citizen sites work better as complements to traditional media, filling in hyperlocal news and opinion that newspapers have abandoned, Zoloft online cod. That's quite similar to the main point that Buttry and Sonderman are making. The study's guiding question may be deeply flawed, as those two note, but its endpoint isn't nearly as inflammatory as it was publicized to be.

Looking at a BBC for the U.S.: A few folks went another round in the government-subsidy-for-news debate this week when Columbia University president Lee Bollinger wrote an op-ed column Zoloft Mg, in The Wall Street Journal advocating for a stronger public-media system in the U.S., one that could go toe-to-toe with the BBC. Bollinger argued that we're already trusting journalists to write independent accounts of corporate scandals like the BP oil spill while their news organizations take millions of dollars in advertising from those companies, so why would journalism's ethical standards change once the government is involved. Comprar en línea Zoloft, comprar Zoloft baratos, The Atlantic's Derek Thompson agreed that government-funded journalism doesn't have to be a terrifying prospect, but several others online took issue with that stance: CUNY j-prof Jeff Jarvis said we need to teach journalists to build self-sustaining businesses instead, and two British j-profs, George Brock and Roy Greenslade, both argued that Bollinger needs to wake up and see the non-institutional journalistic ecosystem that's springing up to complement crumbling traditional media institutions. But the people who do want an American BBC are in luck, because the site launched this week.

Reading roundup: A few cool things to think on this weekend:

— Curtis Brainard of the Columbia Journalism Review has a long story on what is a safe bet to be one of the two or three most talked about issues in the industry over the next year: How to bring in revenue from mobile media, purchase Zoloft online.

— French media consultant Frederic Filloux asks what he rightly calls "an unpleasant question": Do American newspapers have too many journalists, Zoloft Mg. It's not a popular argument, but he has some statistics worth thinking about.

— Adam Rifkin has a well-written post that's been making the rounds lately about why Google doesn't do social well: It's about getting in, getting out and getting things done, while social media's about sucking you in.

— The New York Times and the Lab have profiles of two startups, Zoloft used for,  Techmeme and Spotery, that are living examples of the growing role of human-powered editing alongside algorithmic authority. And Judy Sims urges newspapers to embrace the social nature of life (and news) online.

— Finally, news you can use: A great Poynter feature on ways news organizations can use Tumblr, from someone who used it very well: Mark Coatney, formerly of Newsweek, now of Tumblr.
