You’ve probably heard the stories and the rallying cries crying fowl about the police presence (or state, as protesters would like to call it) to quell protesters during the RNC. You may have also heard that some journalists were arrested too, 19 in fact. That’s 19 out of over 800 people arrested. That’s 19 out [...]

Just a note to BigThink, nix the ‘Harold and the Purple Crayon’ colors on the videos.

More and more newspapers are planning on canceling their AP subscriptions due to their new and pseudo a-la carté fee structure. Many of the papers say the AP’s proposed savings isn’t enough to let them keep staff.
I find it admirable that some papers are choosing to keep staff for local coverage over a $200,000+/yr AP [...]
If you follow the world of journalism, or even read the newspaper, you know that the industry is in “turmoil,” or so they say. It is chic right now to talk about the death of the newspaper industry, the end of journalism as we know it and a half-dozen other clichéd statements being trotted out [...]
10,000 Words.Net has a great post about making the most of your journalism internship. With the volatile landscape of the journalism world these days it may be nerve-wracking for students and those just out of school to deal with an internship. Truth be told, if I were interning at a paper right now and saw [...]
The new Nikon D700 mid-range DSLR looks to be the cat’s meow of DSLR cameras. It seems to be the new cool for DSLR makers to make cameras with enough features for the pro, but not make it too complicated that amateurs can’t pick it up and shoot photos of their feet and cat with [...]
In an interesting twist, William M. Hartnett of the Palm Beach Post has been Twittering his buyout meeting.
Some highlights:
- No details yet on layoff severance package if buyouts don’t meet job cut goals. Just “less generous.” 9 minutes ago from web
- Guy in front row is staring at the ceiling. [...]
In a short commentary in AdBusters Dan Rather, former anchor of CBS Evening News and broadcast journalism icon, had some terse words for American journalism and the “international conglomerates” that own it:
I believe the American people want to stand up to political pressure and say, “Report the news the way we want you to [...]
From SPJ’s Classrooms & Newsrooms:
The graduate journalism schools at Columbia University and the City University of New York will improve their new-media programs with a total of $8-million in grants from the Tow Foundation, the charity announced today.
Columbia will receive $5-million, and CUNY $3-million. Under the terms of the grants, Columbia must garner an additional [...]
A few days ago my superior/colleague (though not for long) Danny Sanchez posted about some open job positions in the journalism world. With all of the talk about newsroom cutbacks and staff layoffs it is refreshing, and I imagine comforting to those just coming out of j-school, to see that there are in fact still [...]
The New York Times has added a social feature to its site called TimesPeople (beta). While not a full-fledged social network, the new feature allows people to create a profile, add friends and share articles.
Its most clever ability is its interaction with social-networking behemoth Facebook. Users can connect it with an NYT Facebook application and [...]
From Doug Fisher and Media Bistro, apparently the Orange County Register is going to start a pilot program where they will outsource their copy-editing duties to India.
To me this is simply a tragedy. There are those that feel copy editing is the most mechanical of all of the journalism duties in the newsroom, fixing grammar [...]
From the LA Times, this guy Twitter’ed his layoff from Yahoo! and it ended up landing him a new job. Sweet!
The embed code on the video wouldn’t work properly so I had to just do it as a link.
Still, it’s an interesting story.

Yup, the OJR is going to stop the publication of it’s Web site. From Robert Niles in the final post:
This is the final post at OJR. After a decade, the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication has decided to cease publication of the website. The archives will remain online, but there will be [...]
The current issue of the American Journalism Review has an excellent article by Washington Post reporter Paul Farhi analyzing the charges of media bias in our current political campaign and in general. I urge you to read the full article, but one portion stood out to me:
The public doesn’t really understand how the news is [...]
