The interesting stuff I saw online, Mar. 16
Here’s some of the stuff I thought was interesting while stomping through the Internet on Mar. 16 from 5:05 pm to 5:32 pm:
- Telecommuting can replace newsrooms – Amen, brother. In an earlier career, I worked with 80 journalists on a web site for which most worked out of their homes, across the country. And this was before most of the tools Patrick mentions even existed. From The Journalism Iconoclast: "Instead of laying off employees, news orgs should consider laying off their office buildings. Or at least downsizing them with the idea that workers would show up to this smaller, collaborative-focused newsroom less often."
- Should the Bible continue to be used for swearing-in ceremonies and in courtrooms? – From Helium.com. So far, "yes" votes lead "no" votes on the poll: "The Bible deserves our utmost respect and consideration as the Holy Word of God, and for this reason, I do not believe it should be used as some kind of device to extract promises of good faith from people."
- St. Louis Beacon: How startups can provide context and analysis online – Nieman Journalism Lab, by Margaret Freivogel of the St. Louis Beacon: "Our reporting — and analysis — might not have directly influenced the Senate’s decision to seat Burris, but it did give our readers telling and little-known facts that turned out to be important in the outcome of the controversy."
- Seattle P-I Goes Online Only Tomorrow | NewsTechZilla – Can we please stop calling them "online newspapers"? "It’s not surprising however the news will continue online. Many of us will be watching very carefuly as the Seattle P-I will be the largest online newspaper."
