A Way To Think About Online Courses (By Apple, For Example) | Easily Distracted

"One thing that struck me during the meeting, though, was that if you created a really rich body of materials that looked somewhat like an “online course”, what you really might be doing was crafting a completely novel form of publication. Imagine a work of historical scholarship that included video of the author giving an explanatory lecture at the beginning of a section of the reading; that had direct links to a huge body of archival pictures, audio recordings, maps, and other supporting materials; that extensively linked to relevant (or competing) analyses available in digital collections like JSTOR; and where the author would appear live once every week to take questions from students reading the book in a class."

Economist's View: "Don't Save the Press"

"So it probably would not take much for politicians to be persuaded that the press is essential to democracy, and that its survival ... depends on government support. Advertising revenue would be replaced by government subsidies, raising predictable questions about the impact on content.
The alternative is to focus on what communication technology cannot do: create rather than transmit a good story or a good policy. There will always be a market for quality. The disruption caused by emerging communications technologies consists in the fact that the best pens may not be on the staffs of newspapers, and that policies need not be formulated only in the corridors of government."

Locus Online Perspectives: Cory Doctorow: Close Enough for Rock 'n' Roll

"If the Internet has a motif, it is rock 'n' roll's Protestant Reformation thrashing against the orchestral One Church. Rock 'n' roll gets lots of wee kirks built in every hill and dale in which parishioners can find religion in their own ways; choral music erects majestic cathedrals that humble and amaze, but take three generations of laborers to build.

The interesting bit isn't what it costs to replicate some big, pre-Internet business or project.

The Sphere of Deviance | WNYmedia.net

"The row that developed around the Jon Stewart and Jim Cramer tête-à-tête was sadly misguided. Mainly pushed by media outlets who don’t understand the whole point of The Daily Show and the subversive reality of the show’s irony. The Daily Show succeeds because it is the only show on which views from outside the sphere of legitimate debate can be aired and find an audience. It’s comedic basis disarms the critics."

PressThink: Audience Atomization Overcome: Why the Internet Weakens the Authority of the Press

"In the age of mass media, the press was able to define the sphere of legitimate debate with relative ease because the people on the receiving end were atomized-- connected "up" to Big Media but not across to each other. And now that authority is eroding. I will try to explain why.
It’s easily the most useful diagram I’ve found for understanding the practice of journalism in the United States, and the hidden politics of that practice. You can draw it by hand right now. Take a sheet of paper and make a big circle in the middle. In the center of that circle draw a smaller one to create a doughnut shape. Label the doughnut hole “sphere of consensus.” Call the middle region “sphere of legitimate debate,” and the outer region “sphere of deviance.”"

Eurozine - Are newspapers still relevant? - Heribert Prantl Journalism at the dawn of a new age

"The system in which they are relevant is not called the market economy, not the financial system or capitalism, but democracy. Democracy is about a community shaping its future together. And the media, in all its forms – print, broadcast and digital – is one of its most important creative forces. The proof of the relevance of the press is 177 years old, begins in 1832 and continues right up to the present day. It arises out of the entire history of German democracy."

Rich Poor - Swampland - TIME.com

"Rich is right that Americans have grown cynical. But the extremists of right and left have exploited that cynicism, have raised big money by distorting the truth, have denigrated the slow, tortuous compromise that is at the heart of progress in any real democracy. Obama's is the least cynical of the seven presidencies I've covered. It is a presidency that took effective action to prevent a depression, that has refused to engage in arrogant jingoism in its dealing with the rest of the world and--most important--spent its political capital on the most important piece of social legislation, health care reform, of the past 45 years."

Doc Searls Weblog · Beyond Social Media

"We can see the problem we face by looking at the continued silo-ization of instant messaging. Check out this list of instant messaging protocols. It’s a mess because so many of the commonly-used platforms are still, in 2009, private silos. Tweeting today is in many ways like instant messaging was when the only way you could do it was with AOL, Microsoft, Yahoo, Apple and ICQ. All were silos, with little if any interoperabiity. With tweeting we do have interop, and that’s why tweeting has taken off while IM stays stagnant. XMPP helped a lot (it’s why you can see Google IMs in Adium, for example). But we don’t have NEA with Twitter, and that’s why tweeting is starting to stagnate, and developers like Dave are working on getting past it."

Mediactive » Toward a Slow-News Movement

"One of society’s recently adopted cliches is the “24-hour news cycle” — the recognition that the once-a-day, manufacturing-based version of journalism has essentially passed into history for those who consume and create news via digital systems. Now, it’s said, we get news every hour of every day, and media creators work tirelessly to fill those hours with new stuff. (UPDATE: Yes, I am aware that some print publications can, though few do, provide actual perspective. See update at end.)

That time period needs further adjustment, in two ways. The first is that an hourly news cycle is itself too long. The latest can come at any minute in an era of TV police chases, Twitter and twitchy audiences. Call it the 1,440 minute news cycle."

Newspapers and the Meaning of Membership -- Seeking Alpha

"How far would and should news organizations be willing to go with this extended vision of membership? I can see newspapers as they have existed being quite uncomfortable with the idea of handing over control and even membership to the community. I can hear their fears of being co-opted or gamed. But that comes from still thinking of news as the property of a single company. Those days are soon over."

Death Preparatory to Resurrection [Boxers, July 13-16, 1900] « The Edge of the American West

"The only difficulty with this entire story was that it was not remotely true. There had been no sustained assault by the Chinese on the legations, no breakthrough, no last stand, and no slaughter. In fact, July 6th had been quiet enough that Private R.G. Cooper, one of the British soldiers holed up in the legations, had not mentioned it in his diary of the siege. The most pressing news of those few days was the discovery of a buried British cannon from 1860, which the defenders of the legations refurbished and put to use."

We all need to come to terms with that.

Why I write for free - Emily Magazine

"I write for free because there seems to me to be no meaningful relationship between whether a publication pays me and whether it’s worthwhile for me to write for them. I’ve been skillfully edited and I’ve been allowed to babble on painfully unchecked by paying and non-paying publications alike. I’ve garnered indirect material benefit from paying and non-paying publications alike. I’m not suggesting that anyone follow my example or positing that I know what The Future of Journalism entails, but I do know, barring catastrophe, what my particular future is: I am going to keep getting paid to write when I can and writing for free when I can’t. If/when this situation becomes untenable for me as a way of actually making my living, I’ll start making more of my money with my non-writing endeavors. People have been doing exactly that, and writing sad essays about the injustice of having to do exactly that, for much longer than the Internet has been around."

Citizen Journalism: The Key Trend Shaping Online News Media - Introductory Guide With Videos - Robin Good's Latest News

"While debating what makes for good journalism is worthwhile, and is clearly needed, it prevents the discussion from advancing to any analysis about the greater good that can be gained from audience participation in news. Furthermore, the debate often exacerbates the differences primarily in processes, overlooking obvious similarities. If we take a closer look at the basic tasks and values of traditional journalism, the differences become less striking."

Why journalists deserve low pay | csmonitor.com

"To create economic value, journalists and news organizations historically relied on the exclusivity of their access to information and sources, and their ability to provide immediacy in conveying information. The value of those elements has been stripped away by contemporary communication developments. Today, ordinary adults can observe and report news, gather expert knowledge, determine significance, add audio, photography, and video components, and publish this content far and wide (or at least to their social network) with ease. And much of this is done for no pay.

Until journalists can redefine the value of their labor above this level, they deserve low pay."

California Media Workers Guild

"In my mind, people don’t earn lawsuits. They win them. When I decided to publicly speak out against the Hearst Corporation in no way shape or form did I ever consider winning an individual lawsuit as any kind of victory. I am interested in being part of a movement that brings respectability, dignity and accountability back to the newspaper journalism profession.
I believe that the battle to do so must begin in the newsroom and not the courtroom. It must be first fought with our minds and with our integrity. This is not as difficult as some might think. We all know that newspaper publishers and owners lost both their minds and their integrity long ago."

Clueless « The Edge of the American West

"The article is written apparently without irony. It is, however, such an epic of cluelessness as to beggar the imagination.

Oh, the agony! The shame!

If you are wealthy, then, to the Times, you are a story in your own right. If you are not, then you tend to be reduced to a number: so many hundreds of thousands laid off; so many millions without health insurance. There are those who are important as individuals and those important only in aggregate."

Google's Love For Newspapers & How Little They Appreciate It

"As for being legal, let's talk now about the dirty secret of how newspapers operate. They misappropriate content all the time.

Look, I was in a newsroom for years. A newspaper graphic needed doing? You found a book with a drawing, used that without asking the author for explicit permission because shoving in a mention in the "source" line was good enough. Following on a story that a rival paper wrote? You damn well read that other story, which got you up to speed, but heaven forbid you ever mentioned that the other publication came out with the news first. If you did, that was only if you could do a story that suggested you had the "real" scoop that the other publication had wrong."

How to Save Newspapers - The Daily Beast

"What has happened with the Internet so far is that the suppliers of hardware, software, and transmission (search engines and aggregators) have built business models that effectively shut out revenue streams for the creators of the information that is being delivered. What has become absolutely clear in 2008 is that this new model for delivering information is a debilitating blow to the creation of quality news content. The companies making money from the Internet—Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Amazon, and so on—are entitled to the riches they’ve amassed from their ingenuity and entrepreneurial skill. But as a society, we’ve got to figure out how news gathering and information distribution will be paid for from now on."

"This is a valid news story. The casualty figures for this monster storm have been incredibly low thus far. If there are more victims than have been reported, the public has a right to know. I would further argue that the public has a right to see. It goes without saying that the public has a right to transparency in government, even in, particularly in, a disaster situation.

Nothing good is going to come of this blackout. The timing of it, six weeks prior to the fall election, is suspect, and it’s not tinfoil territory to suspect opportunism on the part of authorities at some or all levels, to take advantage of the badly-fucked up infrastructure and still-scattered populace and avoid the kind of graphic photos of death and destruction we’ve all still got in our heads from post-Katrina."
