Geofeedia helps journalists locate real-time photos, tweets where news breaks | Poynter.
12 days ago by Dan_10v11
Geofeedia, a service that comes out of private beta today, aims to solve this problem by enabling location-based searches for social media content. Users can type in a place name, address, even the name of a sports venue, or they can simply outline an area on a map. The service will display the latest geotagged content — from Twitter, Instagram, Picasa, Flickr and YouTube — within that area.
“Most news happens at a location,” said Phil Harris, CEO of Geofeedia. When time is of the essence, “filtering through an unbelievable number of social media posts, it’s daunting.”
Hear about a shooting at a high school in near Cleveland? Draw a circle around the area on a map and start looking at what is being posted, pretty close to real-time. From there, you can filter by keywords and time.

Letter from Gadahn in January 2011 giving media advice for 9/11 anniversary (PDF)
18 days ago by Dan_10v11
The Issue of preparing for the Tenth Anniversary, and how it
will be marketed in the Media, and How to Exploit the Media in
General:
But if the display -in the next anniversary for example- of a
special type, like a special interview with Shaykh Usama or
Shaykh Ayman, and with questions chosen by the channel, and with
a good camera, we might find a channel that would accept its
broadcasting. But they would accept this time, so as to get an
exclusive press scoop: The first press interview of Shaykh Usama
or Shaykh Ayman since 10 years ago! Particularly if the Shaykh
is the one to be interviewed. This is because of the scarcity of
his appearance during the last nine years. Because of the poor
photographic quality of the last two releases –I do not know the
photo quality this time- this led those believers in conspiracy
theory to speculate if the person was the Shaykh, and you may
have seen the program (Ben Ladin, alive or dead?) that was
broadcast by Al Jazeera.

Two Canadians among journalists named in bin Laden documents
18 days ago by Dan_10v11
Two Canadians were among a select group of international journalists singled out by al-Qaida to receive "special media material" on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, according to declassified documents captured during the raid that killed Osama bin Laden last year.
Eric Margolis and Gwynne Dyer were to have been provided with a password and site address to download information provided by the terrorist group "at the right time," according to the documents, released Thursday in a report by the Combating Terrorism Centre at the United States Military Academy at West Point titled, Letters from Abbottabad: Bin Ladin Sidelined?
Margolis and Dyer were among a dozen journalists named in one of the letters, including renowned British war correspondent Robert Fisk and American Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh. It also named journalists from Norway, Pakistan, Egypt and Jordan.

Military Media: Media Skills Course - Interview Techniques
18 days ago by Dan_10v11
Although we run these courses on a regular basis it is always rewarding for both the instructors and the participants and we are of course grateful to Crown Media our contracted support for media simulation. Many of the lessons in this area are not new but it always pays to have them reinforced for media engagements. The value of practice can never be emphasised enough no matter who you are or where you sit in the hierarchy. Equally the impact of media engagements - or engagement with key audiences through the media - needs careful consideration and understanding. And increasingly that engagement is not just happening through traditional media but also through social media and those other channels that have the ability to really resonate with the audience one is trying to reach.

Kristine Lowe: Controversy over covering Anders Behring Breivk trial divides Norway
19 days ago by Dan_10v11
In an op-ed published in Aftenposten a communication advisor, Stefan Brunvatne, who was present at the start of the trial, wrote:
"While the commentators are crawling over each other in their efforts to paint a picture of an incoherent man who is sitting there, giving us insight into evil incarnated, and 'experts' make critical comments on everything from his body language to his historical facts, Anders Behring Breivik is sitting there in the eye of the storm appearing surprisingly calm and collected.
"For someone who has been present at two of the key days during Breivik’s testimony, Friday 20 April and Monday 23 April, the shocking thing is not Breivik’s behaviour but the discrepancy between it and the monster image painted by the media."

Gallagher’s blog of pictures of New York City, he posted a link to an article entitled “Are bloggers journalists?” with the URL microcontentnews.com/articles/bloggingjournalism.htm. Sadly microcontentnews.com has disappeared, so I can’t retrieve the actual piece.

Tiny Mexican newspaper leads the fight for truth amid the drugs war | World news | The Guardian
6 weeks ago by Dan_10v11
Río Doce's willingness to go further than other local papers is not, however, foolhardy bravery. Covering the dynamics of the conflict in Sinaloa, and staying alive, requires a subtlety illustrated in the case of the 2010 sports car murder.
The assigned reporter first ruled out initial information that the missing body was Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán – the leader of the Sinaloa cartel and the most famous of Mexico's many kingpins. He then confirmed the victim was the son of a Chapo ally from Michoacán state, nicknamed El Animal. He also delved into El Animal's bloodthirsty reputation.
With this in mind the story, which appeared without a byline, focused on the official information vacuum, slipping in the key facts almost by the by. It named the victim but did not mention his father or the Chapo link. The comments posted underneath the piece on the internet filled in the blanks – Mexico's version of open journalism at work.
Even Río Doce's rivals are lavish in their praise.

Afghan Blue III » Blog Archive » The Red In The Center Of The Patch
6 weeks ago by Dan_10v11
The news stories about the event are disturbing. Some stories reported that they were acting like a bunch of battlefield tourists, strolling in the park and taking pictures. Some depicted the soldiers as having opened fire indiscriminately in the aftermath of the attack, killing children in the process. One such story appeared in Stars and Stripes, of all places, who apparently cut and pasted their story directly from al Jazeera. None of them are true. Not one American fired a shot following the blast. They were performing a mission, not wandering around like a bunch of carefree war tourists.
Newspapers in the US and the UK published photos of the grim aftermath, violating the dignity of the dead and dying. For that, I am eternally angry. The editors of any publication that did so had best never meet me and be identified as being responsible for the publication of such war porn. It would not go well for them. Just because they could didn’t mean that they should.

Data, Journalism and the Problem of Narrativity « Data Miner UK
7 weeks ago by Dan_10v11
We store narratives, we don’t crunch numbers. Computers cannot store narratives, they need raw data. It is impossible for our brain to see anything in raw form. We understand narrativity not probability. Computers understand probability. Humans always start with narratives, computers with data. So in the Age of Digital Journalism we will always have the antagonism between narrative context and informational context.
To make this point even clearer, look at the following two sentences: “The king died and the queen died” versus “The king died and then the queen died of grief”. A computer finds the first one less costly to store as it contains the least number of characters. We find the last one easiest as the linear nature of causality builds a narrative from time. The ‘then’ provides consequence and the ‘grief’ reason, thus forming a more solid narrative.

Syria's Faceless Voices Risk Their Lives by Speaking Out - NYTimes.com

When members of the Local Coordination Committees found out he had witnessed the events and was fluent in English, he was asked to speak to foreign media. Late that night, he went on Al Jazeera and described what had happened.
Unable to show his face or reveal his name, he called himself Alexander Page, an artist he had come across at random online just minutes before. When he was contacted again by CNN, they asked him to use the name and it stuck.
Now jobless, Mr. Jarrah went on blogging and using Twitter and Facebook to tell the story of what he witnessed, all under the name of Alexander Page.
“When I was outed, it became me, so we began the Activists News Association.”
“We want to document Assad crimes. To do that, we have to gather up every video that was taken in Syria,” Mr. Jarrah said as he sat in the office alongside a wall of televisions projecting newscasts in which many of the activists’ videos were being used. “You have over 1,000 videos filmed every day, maybe more.

Think fast: Is that tweet true or false? How we use credibility cues to make decisions » Nieman Journalism Lab
9 weeks ago by Dan_10v11
Lead researcher Meredith Ringel Morris surveyed avid Twitter users to identify 32 features of a tweet that help determine credibility. What features were associated with low credibility? The use of non-standard grammar and punctuation; not replacing the default egg account image; using a cartoon or avatar as an account image; and following a large number of users but being followed by few.
Features associated with high credibility “generally concerned the author of the tweet”:
Author influence (as measured by follower, retweet, and mention counts)
Topical expertise (as established through a Twitter homepage bio)
History of on-topic tweeting, pages outside of Twitter, or having a location relevant to the topic of the tweet
Reputation (whether an author is someone a user follows, has heard of, or who has an official Twitter account verification seal)

The Leveson inquiry was also told of an internal News International email that showed how much Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks were told about News of the World phone hacking in 2006, which contrasted with public statements of ignorance made by both former editors of the Sunday tabloid subsequently

Andy Carvin: the man who tweets revolutions | Media | The Guardian
february 2012 by Dan_10v11
News organisations have become increasingly fascinated by Carvin's experiments as the value of insight, and the expertise required in aggregating and filtering information on social networks, has become more apparent. When Libya's uprising boiled over two weeks ago, Carvin surpassed even his own record by tweeting nearly 1,200 times in 48 hours. But that statistic is misleading, he explains. "If it's a big story that's playing out over a couple of days then those tweets are going to add up. But the number of words actually written is certainly less than you'd get on a live news broadcast."
Revolutions, natural disasters or presidential elections – these are all rich ground for exploring real-time breaking news, with verification a big part of the filtering process. Wherever possible, Carvin starts with someone he knows and has met in person, but if not he'll observe their online activity, and judge whether they have a tendency for exaggeration or are pushing their own agenda too heavi

Bambuser now blocked in Syria
Yesterday morning Bambuser was blocked in Syria. The Syrian government has chosen to deny citizens in Syria access to bambuser.com as well as use of Bambuser's mobile apps over Syrian 3G.
Over the past weeks the number of Bambuser broadcasts from Syria has increased, with strong footage showing bombings, victims, destruction and terrible conditions at local field hospitals in Syria.
Two days ago an oil pipeline in Homs was destroyed. A citizen in Homs who has been broadcasting bombings over several days broadcast the black smoke that developed from the explosion, with the sound of gunfire and shelling of Homs accompanying the footage bambuser.com/v/2369044. The live footage was used by major TV media like CNN, BBC, AlJazeera, SkyNews and many more, with credentials to Bambuser. The impact of those videos very likely came to the Syrian government's knowledge.

No matter what device people use — from the most advanced smartphone to the simplest feature phone — people around the world should be able to send and read Tweets.
Of course, there may be times when people cannot access SMS. We’ve been working on some solutions when that occurs:
Satellite operators
We’ve partnered with the two largest satellite operators, Iridium and Thuraya, to give their subscribers access to Twitter SMS.

This is an interesting piece, but it misrepresents the BBC guidance.
It's not about brand, accuracy, competition or legal worries, nor about making sure BBC journalists stay "on message".
It is about what happens with a line of breaking news, that one of our journalists has, and how that gets distributed to all our platforms, with their large and distinct audiences.
All the examples cited above - being open about which reporters are working on which stories, wanting people to get in touch with them on Twitter, or indeed anyone else in newsrooms, tweeting live from events, using a journalist's tweets in other content, allowing the Twitter audience to see the bare bones of coverage as it's being put together - are all things BBC News does, encourages and is perfectly comfortable with.
Tweeting, retweeting, engaging, reporting, newsgathering, questioning - all the lifeblood of Twitter that our correspondents, reporters, presenters and producers do, every day, is completely unaffected

Sourcing homelessness: How journalists use sources to frame homelessness
january 2012 by Dan_10v11
This article describes a content and qualitative analysis of quotations from sources in Canadian newspaper items on homelessness. Experts dominate as sources on homelessness. Homeless people are not completely deprived of a voice, but are limited to the devalued voice of experience. Quotes from homeless people themselves promote a narrative of homelessness that marginalizes the people who experience it and contributes to their social exclusion.

Knowledge acquisition gaps: A comparison of print versus online news sources
january 2012 by Dan_10v11
This experimental study tested the knowledge gap hypothesis at the intersection of audience education levels and news formats (newspaper versus online). The findings reveal a gap in public affairs knowledge acquisition between South Korean citizens (N = 123) from different educational backgrounds. Moreover, the high education group comprehended news with the same level of efficiency across online and newspaper formats while low education participants gained more knowledge from reading a newspaper than using an online news source. Taken together, this study’s findings confirm the knowledge gap hypothesis through experimental research and offer evidence of its potential contribution to the digital divide.

Facebook told to stop indefinitely holding users' advertising data | Technology | The Guardian
december 2011 by Dan_10v11
Facebook has been told to stop its practice of indefinitely retaining data about which adverts its 500 million users outside the US click on, following a review by the Irish data protection commissioner of its non-US operations.
It has also agreed to take immediate steps over data collected from third-party sites when people use their Facebook identity to log in to them. Until now, that data about people's behaviour was passed back to Facebook and retained indefinitely. Following the review, Facebook can keep the data but it has to make it anonymous ě°˝€“ for example it can share how many people clicked on an advert but can't provide details of specific users ě°˝€“ within 10 days and completely delete the data after 90.

It has also agreed to take immediate steps over data collected from third-party sites when people use their Facebook identity to log in to them. Until now, that data about people's behaviour was passed back to Facebook and retained indefinitely. Following the review, Facebook can keep the data but it has to make it anonymous ě°˝€“ for example it can share how many people clicked on an advert but can't provide details of specific users ě°˝€“ within 10 days and completely delete the data after 90.

Ariel - Gadaffi death footage cleared by Ofcom
december 2011 by Dan_10v11
Ofcom has decided not to investigate complaints about graphic tv images of Colonel Gaddafi's bloodied dead body, shown by BBC News and other broadcasters.
In its latest bulletin the regulator records 25 complaints made about footage and still images shown on BBC One following the Libyan dictator's death on October 20. The BBC itself received hundreds of complaints.
Having assessed the complaints, Ofcom had decided they 'did not raise issues warranting further investigation'. Coverage of events from the town of Sirte that day been 'appropriately limited' on both sides of the watershed, Ofcom said.

Election Monitoring Crowd-Sourced in Egypt - NYTimes.com
november 2011 by Dan_10v11
Although some prominent Internet activists decided to boycott Monday’s elections in Egypt to protest continued military rule, many well-known bloggers spent the day working as self-appointed election monitors. Using the same social media tools that helped them to force Hosni Mubarak from office, the bloggers posted images of long lines at polling places and passed on reports of apparent violations of the electoral code.
