Due to my previous comment issue and the theme I was using not being supported any more, I decided to redecorate. Plus, being that I am talking about online journalism and the "future" of the medium, I thought it fitting that I have a more streamlined, futuristic theme.

Looks like this one might be bloody. The 7th Annual APMR Online Convergence Awards are open! Who will be the biggest innovator? The San Diego ...

Smith is a senior news producer at MLive.com, the online arm of Booth Newspapers in Michigan. Honestly, his blog is the most comprehensive site I've seen covering topics such as, but are not limited to, Twitter and journalists, new media metrics and how to coerce your newsroom into accepting the online world.

Facebook Reportedly Near Accord Over Origin - Apparently Aaron Grennspan claims he created 'The Facebook,' soon to be associated with 'The Huge Settlement.' With the company worth an estimated $15 billion and rumor that it well sell public shares soon, I think they can afford to pay this thing under the rug. Cindy McCain is shopping a book - I've got to tell you, those McCains are some writing fools. McCain has put out (what seems) like two books during his presidential run. Hell, I think he even put one out while in that Vietnam POW camp. Now his wife is ...
