Certainly the accused in this case may be guilty of much, of fraud, of larceny, of misleading loved ones, of taking advantage of their vulnerabilities, of falsifying records, of harvesting remains in grotesque, unsanitary settings, and of introducing potentially infectious parts into otherwise healthy bodies. Isn’t that last thing, without doubt, their most egregious offense? Yet it hasn’t resulted in a single criminal charge.

"The Reuters Global Journalism Internships offer talented students and graduates an opportunity to learn and shine in our bureaus internationally.

"The paid internships are a crash course in hands-on business, political and general news reporting.

> I've covered a lot of companies in distress; I've gotten the hate mail that comes with it. It doesn't matter if the truth comes out a week later, I can accept the rage. What I've never been able to witness before is the denial.

"Though the economics of the business have drastically changed since our purchase of The Buffalo News, I believe newspapers that intensively cover their communities will have a good future. It’s your job to make your paper indispensable to anyone who cares about what is going on in your city or town."

Great post about how copy editing is changing and must change.

"...for music: people still find new music through Pitchfork or Rolling Stone, but services like Spotify and Rdio actually replace music journalism for many. More music and less bullshit. Better recommendations and you can start listening right away.

People who like to read about music, not just find good music, are a niche audience. Reading about music just happened to be one of the few ways to explore new music before the web, together with mixtapes or radio, so reading is what you did."

"'You’re not competing on the basis of whether you have unique news. You’re competing with the entire world on the basis of the value that consumers get out of your product.'"

"YouTube nor Facebook or any of these other companies aim to be an alternative to journalism and much of what they facilitate or do doesn’t look like journalism at all. A good chunk of it contains written or spoken words, but sometimes not even that. It’s not journalism. But you’d be naive if you thought their services aren’t often consumed instead of news."

"...there’s a limit to our appetite, and every minute spent on Facebook is one not spent on a news site."

Corollary: as a web developer you may think some techniques or technologies are better but to users those things don't matter, they're consuming the results not auditing the code or rating your implementation of a design pattern or architecture. Go with X if it gives you an edge, is more flexible, maintainable, portable, performant, etc. but don't expect users to notice. They care about how powerful your software makes them, how enjoyable it is to use, and so on.
