Interesting stuff I saw online, Jan. 4 to Jan. 5
Here’s some of the stuff I thought was interesting while stomping through the Internet from Jan. 4 through Jan. 5:
- Forget Survival: The Journalist’s Guide to Owning 2009 and Beyond | New Media Bytes – A well-done pep-rally for journalists — yay, TEAM! "Journalism is NOT dependent on the fate of your employer, newspapers or mass media. Rather, YOU can help decide journalism’s future."
- Nine online publications breached suicide reporting rules, PCC finds (Journalism.co.uk) – Something that never would have occurred to me, and another reason to give thanks for the First Amendment (a blessing the UK does not enjoy): "Nine online publications breached suicide reporting rules, the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) has ruled."
- News Mixer Generates Widespread Interest | PBS' MediaShift Idea Lab – A rundown of links to mentions of the story commenting project by the Medill School and Gazette Communications in Cedar Rapids.
- What’s next for Lee Enterprises? (From Reflections of a Newsosaur) – "So, let’s not forget that there is a reasonably robust business here. The problems are that (a) the business is not as robust as it used to be and (b) the business may not be robust enough to make a $142.5 million debt payment due this spring."
- Drilling Down – Internet Skyrockets as a News Source – NYTimes.com – The change does not represent a decline in the popularity of newspapers, which actually picked up a percentage point over last year. Rather, it represents a near-doubling, from 24 percent last year, in the number of people naming the Internet as their primary news source.
