"As I followed these events over the weekend they broke (January 17-19, 2014) I thought: We need to adapt Joy's Law to journalism. Joy's Law is named for Sun Microsystems co-founder Bill Joy: "No matter who you are, most of the smartest people work for someone else." In slightly more technical terms: this 'law' emphasizes the essential knowledge problem that faces many enterprises today, that is, that in any given sphere of activity most of the pertinent knowledge will reside outside the boundaries of any one organization, and the central challenge [is] to find ways to access that knowledge. Adapted to journalism it reads something like this: "No matter how good you are, most of the smartest sources are untouched by your reporting and unknown by your people." They're in the potential user base, though. They can be attracted by their own networks to mistakes in what you published- or it's success. Most of the smartest sources aren't in your story, but they can be brought to it by break downs and screw ups that become crossover hits."

The newsonomics of public radio's all-in-one tablet strategy How can public radio prepare for a life beyond radio? In California, one local powerhouse is betting on a tablet app that tries to bring together all that public media can do.

Sky News reporters are using Dejero, a smartphone app that lets them broadcast live from a mobile device back to receivers in the newsroom and straight on to viewers' screens. Sky have licensed the app to 100 reporters and the supporting hardware is being rolled out around the country. "You put it on a tripod, put lights on the iPhone, connect it to a microphone and the quality is good," said Sky News correspondent Nick Martin, speaking to Journalism.co.uk on location at a hospital for a story about Jimmy Saville. "I can stand in front of that camera, that iPhone, on my own and broadcast to my heart's content until the camera crews and satellites arrive."

"FCC Chair Wheeler advocates for public TV stations to sell spectrum Published on Current.org, December 3, 2013 By Dru Sefton Print This Page The new chair of the FCC, Tom Wheeler, is urging public broadcasters to sell their television bandwidth in upcoming spectrum auctions, reports TVNewsCheck. In an appearance Monday at Ohio State University in Columbus, Wheeler advocated for channel-sharing deals in which broadcasters would sell off pieces of spectrum and consolidate their signal with other broadcasters. Wheeler said that arrangement would give "forever cash-starved" pubcasters a "pot full of cash" that they could use as an endowment to run their operations while using spectrum more efficiently. "It may be just a great godsend to the PBS business," said Wheeler, a former PBS Board member. CPB has commissioned Booz & Co. to research the effect of spectrum policy issues on the pubTV system for a spring 2014 white paper. In interviews with system leaders for the report, researchers are finding "a significant commitment" to public-service use of spectrum, CPB s.v.p. Mark Erstling told CPB Board members at their September meeting. In fact, Erstling said, some g.m.'s are saying they could use additional bandwidth for public-service projects."

"KPCC's AudioVision series feels like TV on the radio and vice-versa avatar by Sam Kirkland Published Nov. 7, 2013 5:58 pm Updated Nov. 13, 2013 1:34 pm A new pilot video series by KPCC in Southern California aims to marry video with the distinct voice of public radio. The neat effect while playing "The Whale Warehouse," the debut video on KPCC's AudioVision site: Close your eyes and you might feel as if you were listening to a made-for-radio piece. With the exception of a few spots in the video - like when co-host Mae Ryan tells viewers they might want to fast-forward if they get queasy looking at blood - the audio could stand alone. That's how tight the narration is, and one reason an AudioVision story takes many days to produce. KPCC visual journalist Grant Slater told Poynter via phone that AudioVision takes inspiration from Radiolab and NPR. But their video stories are done on a one-off basis, Slater said, so the goal with AudioVision is to serialize the TV on the radio - or radio on the TV - similar to what Vice Media, PBS Off Book and the New York Times' Op-Docs properties have achieved. AudioVision will publish four more videos - not all about science - over the next few months, taking advantage of the growing channelization of web video on sites like YouTube and Vimeo to build its brand and meet viewers where they are. That's especially important for a news organization like KPCC, which isn't known yet as a destination for great video products, Slater said. Time-consuming multimedia projects can be tough sells, especially at newspapers and radio stations where video isn't "in their DNA" like it is at Vice and PBS, as Slater put it. But an advantage of the AudioVision model to my mind is that the audio is so strong that it could likely run on the radio on its own, too. Said Slater: "Eventually, if this grew more, you could easily see it becoming a radio property as well." Watch "The Whale Warehouse" via Vimeo

"NYT launches thrice-daily minute-long news videos avatar by Kristen Hare Published Nov. 20, 2013 9:37 am The New York Times At 6 a.m. Wednesday, The New York Times launched New York Minute, a one-minute video featuring three current news stories. The debut video spends about 32 seconds on Iranian nuclear talks with chief Washington correspondent David Sanger, about 10 seconds on the once-graffiti-covered 5 Pointz building, and about 15 seconds on the mating behavior of sea slugs, with science correspondent James Gorman. Turns out those sea slugs stab each other in the forehead during sex. The Times will release videos every day at 6 a.m., noon and 6 p.m. ET. "Video is a fast growing and important part of our news report," Times Executive Editor Jill Abramson said in a press release Wednesday. "The New York Times Minute series is a natural extension of our journalism that allows our viewers a quick and useful way to keep up with the news." In September, Poynter reported on the debut of the Times weekly video series, "Science Take," with 60 to 90 second videos on current scientific research. A Times press release mentions a number of new video projects, about 15, with original video content. In an Oct. 13 story in the Times by Christine Haughney, video department general manager Rebecca Howard said that since she'd arrived in March, 17 additional people were added to her department. Mark Thompson, Times' president and CEO, said that video would be part of the company's strategy. "Video will form a part of the answer to how marketers will use small mobile devices to get powerful advertising messages across," he said. With its New York Minute, the Times also one-ups by a second The Washington Post's apparently dormant video series "59 Seconds," which launched in March of 2012."

"November 14, 2013 News Use Across Social Media Platforms By Jesse Holcomb, Jeffrey Gottfried and Amy Mitchell How do different social networking websites stack up when it comes to news? How many people engage with news across multiple social sites? And what are their news consumption habits on traditional platforms? As part of an ongoing examination of social media and news, the Pew Research Center in collaboration with the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation analyzed the characteristics of news consumers and the size of their population across 11 social networking sites. News plays a varying role across the social networking sites.1 Roughly half of both Facebook and Twitter users get news on those sites, earlier reports have shown. On YouTube, that is true of only one-fifth of its user base, and for LinkedIn, the number is even smaller. And Pinterest, a social pin board for visual content, is hardly used for news at all."

"NPR News vets to reshape E.W. Scripps news strategy DecodeDC to be refashioned as multimedia national news brand Published on Current.org, November 12, 2013 By Andrew Lapin Print This Page SeabrookDecodeDC, the political podcast and public radio show created by former NPR correspondent Andrea Seabrook, has been acquired by the E.W. Scripps commercial newswire service. Scripps bought the independently produced podcast as part of a strategic restructuring and expansion of its Washington-based coverage under Ellen Weiss, former NPR News chief. Weiss joined Scripps in February as its Washington bureau chief and developed plans to focus the bureau on enterprise and investigative reporting for Scripps-owned TV, digital and print properties. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Seabrook will join the Scripps bureau staff, which is beefing up its multimedia production capacity and folding its newspaper wire service, according to a Nov. 11 release announcing the purchase. DecodeDC content will be featured as part of Scripps' Washington coverage distributed to 26 television and newspaper markets. "Our strategy to expand as a content-focused organization, with a full commitment to investigative reporting and national politics, led us to this decision to cease being a packager and distributor of content from other news organizations," Weiss said. "Our best opportunity for the future is to focus on enterprise journalism." Seabrook could not be reached for comment, but wrote in a blog post that she is "thrilled" by the new arrangement. "It has always been my goal to cover Washington in a fresh new way, leaving behind the tired old cliches of political news. Scripps believes in that vision too, and has invested in expanding DecodeDC," she wrote. "I couldn't be happier to find such an enthusiastic partner in Scripps, with its stellar legacy of truth-telling." Seabrook launched DecodeDC in fall 2012 after raising more than $100,0

Imagine mourning your stillborn baby - a baby that died because it was stuck in the birth canal and was not delivered by cesarean section in time. Imagine traveling for hours or days to reach a hospital, hoping that a doctor will be able to surgically restore your continence, which is caused by a condition called obstetric fistula. And then imagine that while you wait for your surgery date to come, you are invited to watch short videos telling the stories of women who have endured exactly the same thing as you have. "

"Localism emphasis poses risk But stations see value in filling news vacuum Published on Current.org, September 17, 2013 Analysis by Mark Fuerst Print This Page Of all the complex and potentially fateful decisions faced by public radio program directors as they navigate the emergence of multiplatform distribution, one of the most significant is the drive to "go local" and produce more local programs, especially news and information. This push signals a strategic shift for public radio, with potentially enormous consequences for growth or decline. Audience 2010, one of a series of landmark research reports on programming trends published in the previous decade, reported that much of the credit for the growth of public radio listenership could be traced to a shift "away from local production toward network production, away from music-based content toward news, information and entertainment." That shift was extraordinarily successful, representing two decades of impressive audience expansion and financial growth at a time when other parts of the radio industry struggled. Now, it appears that program decision-makers are changing course. But why would dozens of stations move off the path that worked so well and choose another approach that, viewed through the lens of audience research, would seem to be both more costly and less powerful in attracting listenership?"

"Digital puts news consumers in control News consumption in the digital era has become far more of a participatory activity than it was in the days when folks plopped into a La-Z-Boy to read the paper or watch the evening news. Publishers hoping to connect with modern audiences need to understand the radically different expectations that consumers have about when, where and how they get the news - and how they proactively mix, match and remix the information they acquire. The surprising degree to which consumers are using digital technology to personalize and control the news-consuming experience is illuminated in a recent study from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at Oxford University. Conducted online in the United States and eight other countries, the Oxford study shows an eclectic appetite for news sources and platforms around the world, as well as a sharp generational divide in what consumers do with the news after they obtain it. In particular, the findings show that digital natives under the age of 45 are more proactive than their elders. "
