sinker:
I spent a rapid-fire 23 hours in St. Louis this weekend at the NICAR 12 conference. For those that don’t know, NICAR stands for “National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting,” and, as the slightly-antiquated name might suggest, was founded long before the commercial internet, back in 1989….

Richard Rodriguez grew up in California, the son of immigrant Mexican parents.

‘I was going to be a copy editor!’ →
After posting the link to “The lowly life of the lonely copy editor,” I received this note from Robin Sterns, a former copy editor who is currently out of journalism:
I’m sure the below (a piece on my recent experience as a “copy editor”) is more than you want to read, but I assure you that the column rings 100% true in my experience.
Anyone with any real knowledge was gone at my paper (the...

The lonely life of the lowly copy editor →
The newsroom is a highly romanticized work environment. Reporters banging away at their keyboards, BlackBerrys buzzing with insider tips from networks of secret sources. Editors huddled in conference rooms, debating what news is important enough to make the paper. You can see why this setting has been idealized by Hollywood - and, for that matter, by most of the people who work there.
But there...

Twitter gives us a new version of ‘the first rough draft of history.’ But tweets are fragile things.
In April, OR Books published Tweets from Tahrir, a book of tweets sent from Ground Zero of the democratic revolution that played out in Egypt last year. The book, its promotions declare, “brings together a selection of key tweets in a compelling, fast-paced narrative, allowing...

It Shouldn’t Take a Letter from Congress for Google to Give Straight Answers About Privacy Policy Changes

Is it good for journalism when sources go direct?... →
In a piece in the New York Times on the weekend, media writer David Carr took a look at News Corp. billionaire Rupert Murdoch’s use of Twitter, and how the media mogul has used it as both a bully pulpit and a soapbox. Carr’s fellow media writer Brian Stelter, however, has a somewhat different view: at a conference on social media at Columbia University, Stelter said that “sources going direct,” as...

“La parola-chiave del 2011 è stata repressione. La libertà d’informazione non è mai stata così tanto associata alla democrazia. I giornalisti, con le loro cronache, non hanno mai infastidito così tanto i nemici della libertà. E nemmeno gli atti di censura e gli attacchi fisici ai giornalisti sono mai stati così numerosi. L’equazione è semplice: l’assenza o la soppressione delle libertà...

What newsrooms should learn from Kodak →
So Kodak, the company that invented amateur photography in the 19th century and invented digital photography in the 20th, is on the ropes. There are obvious lessons for newspapers and newsrooms. Here are a few of them.
Your business isn’t what you think it is. Kodak at its peak looked like a photography company, but it was really a giant chemical manufacturing company. Digital tech rendered...
