  •  
    I'm trying to show you that Twitter is a growing tool that student media should be using. After all, our readers are online and living in the social networking world. Instead of fighting that, we need to embrace it. Go to your readers. Don't make them come to you.

The State of the News Media 2011 - 0 views

shared by Tom McHale on 04 Apr 11 - No Cached

    Among the major sectors, only newspapers suffered continued revenue declines last year-an unmistakable sign that the structural economic problems facing newspapers are more severe than those of other media. When the final tallies are in, we estimate 1,000 to 1,500 more newsroom jobs will have been lost-meaning newspaper newsrooms are 30% smaller than in 2000. Beneath all this, however, a more fundamental challenge to journalism became clearer in the last year. The biggest issue ahead may not be lack of audience or even lack of new revenue experiments. It may be that in the digital realm the news industry is no longer in control of its own future. News organizations-old and new-still produce most of the content audiences consume. But each technological advance has added a new layer of complexity-and a new set of players-in connecting that content to consumers and advertisers. In the digital space, the organizations that produce the news increasingly rely on independent networks to sell their ads. They depend on aggregators (such as Google) and social networks (such as Facebook) to bring them a substantial portion of their audience. And now, as news consumption becomes more mobile, news companies must follow the rules of device makers (such as Apple) and software developers (Google again) to deliver their content. Each new platform often requires a new software program. And the new players take a share of the revenue and in many cases also control the audience data.

On The Media - 1 views

    Twitter and Facebook have been conduits of information throughout the protests in the Arab world. But that news has been atomized, second by second accounts coming from hundreds of unknown sources. Into that relentless stream has stepped NPR's Andy Carvin, who's become a one-stop clearinghouse of news by vetting sources and trying to verify individual tweets. Carvin explains how Twitter's political utility has also created a new kind of journalism

The New York Times Twitter strategy leaves room for innovation - 0 views

  •  
    Not having a draconian Twitter policy has helped The New York Times thrive, according to a panel of reporters speaking at an Online News Association event in New York. The panelists said they use the social media platform for a variety of pretty common reasons: breaking news, garnering pageviews, connecting with readers and reinforcing the brand.

MediaShift Idea Lab . Help Spot.Us Find a Path to Financial Sustainability | PBS - 0 views

  •  
    In the two years since our site has launched, we've funded over 160 projects with the help of 5,000 contributors, a fifth of whom contributed more than once. We've done this in collaboration with 95 organizations, and our reporting projects have won eight journalism awards. In short, we're making a difference. Whether it's funding FOIA requests, exposing the lies of a sheriff, or providing a deeper understanding of those less fortunate in our society, the stories we fund make a difference. I earnestly believe in the power of an informed democracy. The guiding principle at Spot.Us is to make the process of journalism more transparent and participatory -- not merely to inform but to engage. Our site is a testament to the notion that people can take ownership over their information needs if there is a platform to support it.

Media Black Hole: So Much News That We'll Implode? : NPR - 1 views

  •  
    When it comes to the news of the day, newspapers, websites, bloggers, cable networks and aggregators all trip over themselves to be the fastest and the first. The competition has always existed, but technology has ramped up the rivalries. At this increasingly accelerated pace, is it inevitable that noteworthy events - and the news they engender - will rush lickety-split into each other? What happens when things just cannot occur any faster? What if the rapidity of the newscycle outpaces the news itself and we wind up in some form of warp speed - living life in a wormholish, time-wrinkled world?

Tumbling into journalism: Tumblr's newsy tag pages » Nieman Journalism Lab » ... - 0 views

  •  
    But it's not just news organizations and individual journalists doing that. You can also find noteworthy coverage on Tumblr's Egypt page. It's a real-time example of Tumblr's curated tag pages, a new feature the company rolled out about a month ago. The feature lets a group of editors (Tumblr users) select the choicest cuts from their feeds for public consumption. The pages originally broke down into areas like fashion, design, long reads, and a general news page. The Egypt page is a step beyond that, an on-the-fly means of developing a news channel from the minds and links of users. With no overriding editorial "vision," at least in the traditional sense, what you get is a collection of breaking updates, stories providing desperately needed context, and, naturally, one of the things Tumblr is best at: photos.
