Armour Mg

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Armour Mg,  on February 24, 2012.]

A case study in nonprofit news sustainability: One of the more prominent of the wave of nonprofit news startups that launched over the past several years is about to effectively shut down. As the Chicago Reader first reported, the Chicago News Cooperative will stop maintaining its website and producing content for the New York Times this weekend. By far the best account of the situation is in this Storify by Free Press' Josh Stearns, but I'll provide a short version here for those not interested in the gory details.

As the Reader explained, Armour used for, CNC is shutting down because it couldn't get a grant it had expected from the MacArthur Foundation, its largest funder. CNC had applied to be classified as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, but it was awaiting IRS approval on whether news orgs could be classified as such, and MacArthur essentially ran out of time waiting for the IRS to make a decision. CNC also asked the Times, which has run its stories since the organization's founding in 2009, to pay more for the service, but the Times wouldn't do that, Armour Mg. The group's CEO, James O'Shea, kjøpe Armour på nett, köpa Armour online, said it'll cease operations as it tries to find an alternative funding option.

Geoff Dougherty, who founded another short-lived Chicago nonprofit news outfit in the Chi-Town Daily News, didn't buy MacArthur's story and accused the foundation of playing city hall politics (something both O'Shea and MacArthur denied to Romenesko). Chicago, Japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, Dougherty said, just isn't committing to funding quality journalism in the way that other cities with successful nonprofit news orgs are. The Columbia Journalism Review's Ryan Chittum, meanwhile, urged the IRS to finally give news orgs some clarity on their 501(c)(3) eligibility. Armour Mg, Others said the problem lay more with CNC itself. Time Out Chicago's Robert Feder said he never bought into CNC's vague business plan,  declaring that "no matter how noble the effort nor how worthy the product, is Armour addictive, journalism can’t succeed as a charity case." Dan Sinker of the Knight-Mozilla News Technology Partnership detailed CNC's lackluster online efforts, concluding that the organization's decision to treat the web as an afterthought was what brought it down.

J-prof Jeff Jarvis chastised journalists for not knowing more about the business side of their field, citing CNC as "evidence that the siren call of not-for-profit journalism seduces news organizations away from sustainability, survival, Is Armour safe, and success." In contrast, Jarvis held up a speech last week by Digital First CEO John Paton of the Journal Register Co. and MediaNews Group, who said that "crappy newspaper executives" are a greater threat to the business than any technological change.

Philadelphia journalism and political influence: After reports over the past couple of weeks that the Philadelphia Media Network — which owns the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News — had spiked stories in both papers about the company's impending sale, the papers' journalists released a statement condemning the interference late last week. This week, former Philly mayor and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell said he'd consider putting up a firewall between ownership and the newsrooms if his investing group bought the company, Armour Mg.

There was speculation all week about how likely ownership by the Rendell group would be: After a report over the weekend by Naked Philadelphian that Rendell wouldn't be buying the papers, where can i find Armour online, Rendell responded that the bid was still on and countered the critics who questioned such a powerful political figure owning the papers. At the Lab, Danish j-prof Rasmus Kleis Nielsen posited that Rendell's potential ownership might represent a model for the future of media: Political interests running struggling news orgs not as profitable enterprises, but as political instruments. "This is not a situation in which journalism is simply on a diet and being supplemented by various new ventures. It is a scenario where it is more directly intertwined with outside political and business interests than it has been for years, Buy cheap Armour, " he wrote.

Daily News blogger Will Bunch urged the next owners not to go that route, but to listen to and partner with the people in running the papers. Armour Mg, He also said the new owners need a lot more than a sense of civic duty — like, an actual plan — to keep the papers viable and made a strong case for keeping the Daily News alive. Poynter's Rick Edmonds explained why the Daily News has survived so long, but also why it may not last much longer.

Elsewhere in the Philly journalism ecosystem, Neil Budde, order Armour online overnight delivery no prescription, a veteran of Yahoo News, the Wall Street Journal, and the DailyMe, was named CEO of the new Philadelphia Public Interest Information Network, a nonprofit journalism initiative based at Temple. Get Armour,

News Corp. taking back Sunday: Rupert Murdoch is making a major bid this week to show the world that News Corp. is down but not out, launching the Sun on Sunday, a new weekly edition of its weekday tabloid, Armour Mg. The move fills the void left by last summer's closing of the Sunday tabloid News of the World — and was widely expected back then. Murdoch also lifted the suspensions of the paper's recently arrested journalists, though he did say in his email to staff that he's obligated to keep turning over all potential phone hacking evidence to police (which, as the Guardian pointed out, wasn't true), Armour treatment.

In two Guardian pieces, British j-prof Roy Greenslade praised Murdoch for preventing a mutiny at the Sun and for showing "the strength of buccaneers running papers rather than corporations," while Forbes' Jeff Bercovici cited analysts who said Murdoch waited too long to replace News of the World. Then, early this week, Order Armour online overnight delivery no prescription, a mysterious Twitter account purportedly belonging to an ex-NOTW journalist reported on staff unhappiness and reluctant advertisers for the Sun on Sunday, which produces its first issue this Sunday. Murdoch assured the world via Twitter Armour Mg, that everything was fine.

Reading roundup: It was pretty quiet overall this week, but there were a few smaller conversations worth keeping an eyeing on:

— For the second week in a row, we're mourning the death of beloved journalists in Syria. Marie Colvin, an American working for the Sunday Times of London, herbal Armour, and French photographer Rémi Ochlik were killed Wednesday in an attack that's believed to be deliberate. After the killings, Syria asked foreign journalists to report to the government, wounded journalists pleaded to leave the country, Britain summoned its Syrian ambassador in protest, Armour without a prescription, and friends wrote remembrances of the journalists' courage and devotion.

— Forbes' Jeff Bercovici reported that Gannett, the U.S.' largest newspaper chain, announced plans to implement paywalls (the in-vogue metered model) at all of its 80 papers except its largest, USA Today. PaidContent's Jeff Roberts evaluated the plan's chances of success, Armour Mg.

— The "original reporting vs. aggregation" debate went another round this week when blogger/entrepreneur Nick O'Neill wrote about how a Forbes writer quickly re-wrote a New York Times feature and got a truckload of traffic out of it, purchase Armour. Jim Romenesko got responses from everyone involved, and the Times reporter said he wasn't worried about his work being aggregated, but that "every hour spent summarizing is an hour not spent reporting." GigaOM's Mathew Ingram said both reporting and aggregation have real value for readers.

— Per the tech blogging debate of the last couple of weeks, the Los Angeles Times asked whether tech bloggers' lack of objectivity is undermining their credibility. It led to a fascinating Twitter discussion about transparency, objectivity, and credibility, which Josh Stearns helpfully Storified.

— The Atlantic reposted a manifesto for young people who have grown up on the Internet by a Polish writer named Piotr Czerski. It's a well-written glimpse at the values cultivated by a life shaped by the web.

Lipitor For Sale

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Lipitor For Sale, on February 17, 2012.]

News Corp.'s problems spread to the Sun: The ongoing phone hacking scandal at News Corp., which took down News of the World last summer, is now threatening to swallow the company's other British tabloid: The Sun. Five of its top journalists were arrested last weekend as part of an investigation into bribing public officials, which News Corp.'s internal investigation is reported to have determined amounts to more than 10,000 pounds per year, with officials essentially on retainer.

That investigation generated some controversy itself when it handed over details of Sun journalists' sources to the police, Japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, though it said it redacted the information heavily and didn't pass on documentation of standard journalistic source interaction. Journalists at News Corp.'s three British newspapers — the Sun, the Times, and the Sunday Times — were livid, and prepared for a legal challenge by hiring a top human rights attorney who promptly ripped the decision to hand over sources in a Times column.

Others joined in the criticism: Britain's National Union of Journalists and the Sun's competitor, the Daily Mail, buy Lipitor without prescription, blasted News Corp.'s investigative committee, with the latter saying it "should hang its head in shame." And Ryan Chittum of the Columbia Journalism Review was concerned about the precedent set by having police riffling through millions of newspaper emails, though he and British j-prof Roy Greenslade defended the police's stern treatment of Sun journalists in their arrests.

So what does Rupert Murdoch do now, Lipitor For Sale. At the Guardian, Murdoch biographer Michael Wolff urged him to give the company "something of a noble death" — sell the Sun, Lipitor canada, mexico, india, and use the proceeds to establish a trust for the Times and Sunday Times. Ad Age's Simon Dumenco suggested News Corp. will simply shut the Sun down, saying that like News of the World, it's been reduced to merely a "repository of evidence that [needs] to be destroyed." Forbes' Jeff Bercovici argued that it's only a matter of time before one of the two happens, especially since dropping its newspapers would help News Corp.'s bottom line.

News Corp, buy cheap Lipitor no rx. Lipitor For Sale, could still be facing plenty of trouble in the U.S., too. The FBI is investigating the company for bribing foreign officials, and the Guardian reported its executives could be prosecuted for being "willfully blind" about their company's wrongdoing. The company has gathered a massive legal team to fight potential charges. Joe Pompeo of Capital New York didn't see U.S. charges as likely, Lipitor price, coupon, but said the multi-front battle News Corp. is fighting is taking a devastating toll on the company as it drags on, Lipitor For Sale.

Path, privacy, and reforming tech journalism: What started last week as one tech startup's privacy faux pas had by this week turned into a full-blown debacle for privacy on mobile devices, when we learned that the address books in smartphones are available for free to developers, often without the owner's knowledge. Path, where can i find Lipitor online, the photo-sharing and messaging app, was the first company outed for taking and storing the data after it was discovered last week by developer Arun Thampi.

The company received a wave of criticism and apologized, but soon the names of other companies — big companies — that were doing essentially the same thing trickled out. VentureBeat reported that Facebook, Online buy Lipitor without a prescription, Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare, Yelp, and Gowalla were doing it, and the Verge also laid out exactly who's taking address books and how. Lipitor For Sale, Twitter owned up to the practice, acknowledging to the Los Angeles Times that it stores email addresses and phone numbers (though not names) for 18 months from the address books of users who turn on its Find My Friends app.

On Wednesday morning, ordering Lipitor online, a U.S. Congressional committee sent a letter to Apple wondering why the company wasn't doing more to protect its iPhone users' privacy — and voila. Within minutes, Apple announced it would be doing more to ensure that app developers can't access users' address books without their permission (something was already in its developer guidelines). Google announced later that day it would be taking similar measures with its Android platform.

As PandoDaily's Greg Kumparak wrote, this was a common practice that was simply understood among developers to be just fine, even though it was against Apple's guidelines, Lipitor For Sale. Lipitor images, Now that it's been called out very publicly as not being just fine at all, developers need to figure out where to go from here. Kumparak reminded developers that address book data isn't theirs to begin with, and Om Malik of GigaOM urged them to consider the moral imperative, rather than just what's allowed. Developer Matt Gemmell showed how to use app address book data without violating users' privacy.

A bizarre quasi-journalistic side-story rose out of this issue after the New York Times' Nick Bilton complained of the alarming obliviousness that Path and Silicon Valley in general show toward the seriousness of user privacy and security, Lipitor australia, uk, us, usa. Both Michael Arrington and MG Siegler Lipitor For Sale, , former TechCrunch-ers whose CrunchFund invests in Path, ripped Bilton's post, with Siegler turning it into a diatribe against the vapidity in tech blogging resulting from an out-of-control preoccupation with speed and page views.

Of the many responses to Siegler's piece, Newsweek tech editor Dan Lyons' was the most severe, as he described TechCrunch and several other tech blogs as a racket to extract "investment" out of venture capitalists in exchange for good press about their startups. (If you want to go all the way down the rabbit hole, you can read Arrington and Siegler's rebuttals.)

Frederic Lardinois of Silicon Filter said both the pageview-chasing and VC coziness are serious problems within tech journalism, but there are still plenty of tech outfits staying above the fray and doing solid work. Lipitor interactions, And ReadWriteWeb's Scott Fulton urged tech bloggers to step outside the tech-journalism bubble and refocus on what journalism is: "Journalism is not about being an expert in twenty different things. It's about being interested in all of them, knowing how to ask questions, and how to elicit information from the answers."

AP goes on the copyright offensive: Another skirmish in the long war between traditional news organizations and online aggregators began this week, as the AP sued Meltwater News, a Norwegian company that helps businesses track mentions of themselves in media sources through a searchable database. The AP alleges that Meltwater uses its content without paying for licensing fees, order Lipitor no prescription, allowing it to create a cheaper service that directly takes subscribers from the AP, as an AP attorney told the Guardian. The attorney also told paidContent that the AP hopes that controversial "hot news doctrine," which gives publishers legal rights over the dissemination of news they break, will be applied to this case, Lipitor For Sale.

According to the AP's article on the suit, the AP is distinguishing between Meltwater and online aggregators because Meltwater charges a fee and keeps a five-year database of AP stories (aggregators do neither of these). But GigaOM's Mathew Ingram said this case could still very well apply to online aggregators and represents a "fundamentally futile" approach to online content. Lipitor gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release,

News sites lag in advertising: Pew's Project for Excellence in Journalism released a study this week that painted a really depressing picture of advertising at top news websites. Among the major findings: In-house ads are the most common kind of ads on news websites, very few news sites do any targeted advertising based on users' online behavior, and very few do work with any ads other than static banner ads, either.

PaidContent's Jeff Roberts pointed out Lipitor For Sale, that most news orgs are at a major disadvantage when it comes to selling digital ads in that they weren't raised on it like tech companies have been, and thus need to constantly play catch-up when it comes to strategies and software. And Forbes' Jeff Bercovici chastised print-based news orgs for using so much of their digital advertising space to promote their print product, saying, where can i buy Lipitor online"it’s hard to see how publishers are ever going to persuade marketers to spend real money on their websites as long as those advertisers can see those publishers treating their own web inventory as next to worthless."

Reading roundup: A couple of other interesting stories this week, plus some pieces to look at over the weekend:

— It's been a rough couple of months for PolitiFact. This week, it ruled Sen. Marco Rubio's statement that a majority of Americans are conservative "mostly true" because a plurality of Americans are conservative. Lipitor schedule, The decision got ripped by MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, the Washington Post's Erik Wemple, Politico's Dylan Byers, the American Journalism Review's Rem Rieder, and j-prof Jay Rosen. They also fact-checked a statement from "Glee," which was...odd, Lipitor For Sale.

— Another media organization under fire lately has been the Philadelphia Media Network, the parent company of the Inquirer and Daily News. The papers were put on the block a few weeks back, and may be sold to a group led by former Philly mayor and  Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell. This week, the company announced layoffs and buyouts, and over the past two weeks, both WHYY and the New York Times have reported that executives have interfered with stories about the sale. Former Daily News reporter Buzz Bissinger lamented the papers' future.

— A couple of pieces on online content that are a worth a read: Reuters' Felix Salmon expressed his skepticism about the widespread viability of longform articles online, and here at the Lab, j-prof Dan Kennedy reported on the comment conundrum at Connecticut's New Haven Independent and why it matter for other news sites.
