"…we've heard from some of our users that the way we displayed these blogs in Google News was not very clear. To address this, we're now visibly marking articles published on a news blog with a "(blog)" label attached to the publication's name. "
-
"Many of the sites in these exchanges use multiple layers of I-frames, which further complicated efforts to track campaigns. Sites are able to hide fraudulent traffic behind numerous layers of nested I-frames, leaving advertisers blind to in-view data, according to the study. "

The current pace of innovation in online display advertising is unprecedented, and the bulk of it is focused on the non-premium space: Demand side networks, ad exchanges, data exchanges, and the emerging infrastructure to accommodate real-time bidding are pushing us to the brink of an entirely new paradigm.

As one of the longest-serving regional editors in the UK, Horrocks was editor when the MEN set up its integrated multimedia newsroom and when pioneered its part-paid, part-free strategy that saw copies of the paper given out for free in Manchester city centre.
-
What Facebook announced on Friday afternoon was that it had come to an agreement over that lawsuit – with proposals that would see two things happen if a judge in San Jose approves the settlement. Those things are:
- That Beacon will close down entirely (it is still running at the moment)
- That Facebook will put forward $9.5m to settle the case, with the money used to create a foundation "to benefit internet users" – by which it means funding online privacy and security initiatives. -
"It is often said that if you want to know what the technology trends of a few years hence will be, watch teenagers. But if you want to find out how you're going to be working in a few years' time, watch the technology journalists" <— or web development editors?!
-
"…news sites should be doing more to incorporate such features into their daily news stories so that users can make the most of real-time updates.
-
"Being there and being accurate are how journalistic credibility is brought to the social media ocean. Yet many legacy media have fallen behind in delivering this one-two punch combination. While it’s a given that there will always be a need for reliable verification, what must be better understood is how people seek out news and information and how they learn through their use of social media."
-
"When Google Wave was announced, I got all jittery-happy about the possibilities it presented for news. Now, from a Belgian site, via a German site, I find a video interview with Wave’s project manager, Stephanie Hannon, speculating about its use in news:"
-
"Now that the medium is evaporating, publishers have nothing left to sell. Some seem to think they're going to sell content—that they were always in the content business, really. But they weren't, and it's unclear whether anyone could be."
-
"Realizing that it's better to swim with the stream than against it, MySpace has just turned on two-way sync with Twitter. MySpace status updates can now be sent to Twitter and shared with all of your followers there, and Twitter updates can appear in your MySpace activity stream as well. "
-
"So is employment the measure of news? No. Is it the proper measure for every industry? Not necessarily. Is it the measure of the economy? Not as much as it used to be. Media is becoming the first major post-industry. Others will follow. You just have to know where to look. "
-
"…in the new media age transparency is what delivers trust. He stressed that news today still has to be accurate and fair, but it is as important for the readers, listeners and viewers to see how the news is produced, where the information comes from, and how it works. The emergence of news is as important, as the delivering of the news itself."
-
"Murdoch has confronted and overcome orthodoxy throughout his career. In so doing, he has always stressed that he has defeated "the establishment" on behalf of "the people" (the audience, the readers, the viewers). His mantra: I am giving the people what they want.
This time, by contrast, he appears to be flying in the face of peoples' wishes. He is taking away from them what they want." -
"The AmeriKat does not believe, that under the fourth factor of the fair-use test, a newspaper could actually prove that hyper-linking to their content affects the potential market value of the work. Surely Posner’s suggestion in protecting the print media by copyright would in fact have the effect as acting as an improper prior restraint in chilling freedom of expression and would therefore violate the Copyright Clause in ‘promot[ing] the Progress of Science and useful Arts.”
-
"…the Google proposal envisions aggregating journalistic content into a subscription service that offers flexible packages to users, with "one-time sign-in" so you don't have to pay for each newspaper, magazine, or article individually, as well as options for micropayments for add-on content outside the basic subscription. Google would take 30% off the top, and the content providers get the rest."
-
"That is why newspapers are finding it hard to charge for content: they haven’t done it for so long they’ve forgotten how it’s done."
-
"Another thing that seems to escape many journalists is the direct connection between their own indifference to interacting with readers and the parlous state of their comments. If my research has taught me anything — not to mention writing columns and a blog for 15 years — it is that the surest way to improve the tone of the debate in forums or comments is to get involved in them."

"In 2008, the Oriella PR Network undertook a survey of over 350 journalists across Europe to determine what impact the advent of the Internet and widely-available broadband had had on the world of journalism. One year on, we looked to see if journalists have acclimatised further to their digital environments and whether they are under more or less pressure due to the current economic turbulence."
-
"We would shy away from stories that seemed to require a years-long familiarity with the news and incline instead toward ephemeral stories that didn’t take much background to understand—crime news, sports updates, celebrity gossip. This approach gave us plenty to talk about with friends, but I sensed it left us deprived of a broader understanding of a range of important issues that affect us without our knowing."

Basically, this is an industry in decline since the beginning of the 1990s. In terms of job loss, the newspaper industry looks remarkably like manufacturing.

"Somehow you goons have based an entire business on making people pay for —- they don’t want. Well done. Our business model is based on building the best ——- search engine on the planet so that people get what they do want. And you morons wonder why our business is booming and yours is going to hell."
-
"It will take years for media to figure out exactly the right digital business model. But the recession may have played its part in guiding the search."
-
"…the 2002-2004 recovery never reached the peak of two recoveries ago, in 1988, when real ad dollars hit $56.8 billion. Recall, this year ads are projected at just $31.6 billion—if they’re lucky—a 44 percent decline from twenty-one years ago.
That folks, is secular decline, and the vast majority of those dollars are not coming back." -
I like his sentiment, but he has got his facts a little muddled.
-
"Their point was that by relying on community correspondents to cover grass roots parish pump news, you are cutting reporters off from the contacts they need to get to grips with their patch. My counter was that by enlisting people to write them themselves, they become colleagues rather than contacts, and surely that's an even more valuable relationship?"

"One of the guiding principles of interaction design is to support existing behavior. This means to figure out what is already happening, what activities, tasks, and interactions people are already doing, and build support for them into software.
This may not seem like a glamorous way to approach design, but from my experience it’s the fastest way to make people happy. Let them do what they already do faster/better/easier, and then you’ll have their attention in order to push the envelope after that." -

Within 24 hours (longer on weekends and holidays), a personal response will come from our newsroom describing how we plan to handle the question. While we don’t commit to answering questions that are too specific to a single person’s situation or ones seeking to resolve disputes, we’ll at least direct the person who asked to possible resources.

"The vast majority of executives who say, “I want to be just like Apple,” have no idea what it really takes to achieve that level of success. What they’re saying is they want to be adored by their customers, they want to launch sexy products that cause the press to fall all over themselves, and they want to experience incredible financial growth. But they generally want to do it on the cheap."

Hi!
Just a quick post for those of you who have been with me since the days of http://joannageary.wordpress.com.
First of all, a big THANK YOU for sticking with me. I am an unreliable blogger and I know it. I hope to change that a bit soon.
Secondly, my domain mapping runs out in the next 24-48 hours and I don’t think I’m going to renew it.
You may need to update your RSS feeds and your bookmarks.
Thanks.

I am always impressed by the way The Post tries to consult its readers about what it does. Yes, there are limited options in difficult times, but it's an attitude towards its community that makes me very proud to have worked there.
Yesterday Birmingham Post editor Marc Reeves outlined the challenges facing the newspaper and called for readers to send in their views on the options being considered for survival. Here are some of the responses.

What's great about this approach is that you don't need corporate social media policies — just let your staff do what they do. What's challenging about this approach, at least for other companies, is that most don't hire with same intent and fervor.

hile it is easy to understand why a relatively young company or one started by a tech-savvy founder would so completely embrace social media communication tools, it is quite a bit more remarkable for an almost 30 year old established brick and mortar company with roughly 50,000 employees and over 270 stores worldwide to have done so.

"Taking responsibility" falls on their ears as "taking the blame". In their experience, this is adding insult to injury - taking the heat after taking the loss. It's too much to take according to them.

"In the 36 hours after securing the Michael Jackson footage, Us Weekly was able to cut the video down to a minute and 35 seconds, secure advertisers (the video was embeddable by any user, carrying with it a pre-roll ad), warn Ooyala — which used Akamai as its CDN — about the incoming load, and sync up with that week’s newsstand release. In the meantime, Ooyala readied its adaptive bitrate streaming to ensure that video views were uninterrupted by demand or bandwidth issues."
-
"Can we get a feeling for the audience the event is being amplified to? Are there members of that audience who seem to be a member of the community but aren’t really known to the community? Can we find the lurkers and pull them in with a personal invite (and is this even ethical?)"

Sony's e-book reader and Amazon's Kindle have attracted a great deal of attention during 2009.

"So, news at 3%, and lets assume "the rest excluding spam and babble" - about 57% - has about 1/6th relevance (a figure derived by a quick count on Tweetdeck) gives about a 10% signal, the rest is pretty much noise. A lot if it is diverting noise of course, and herein lies the problem - poor filtering!"

"Chi has identified one model that Wikipedia's growth pattern matches. "In my experience, the only thing we've seen these growth patterns [in] before is in population growth studies – where there's some sort of resource constraint that results in this model." The site, he suggests, is becoming like a community where resources have started to run out. "As you run out of food, people start competing for that food, and that results in a slowdown in population growth and means that the stronger, more well-adapted part of the population starts to have more power.""

"As news organization try to figure out new business plans, they can’t afford not to give more attention to the estimated 149.1 million American women (or more than 3 billion worldwide).

The model cannot predict whether a piece of content will go viral before it has been released; only its likely reach once it starts spreading.

"All things considered though, the Mail's new comment moderation policy is an excellent idea. It doesn't mean no moderation at all, so any legal issues are likely to be dealt with pretty quickly, and the overall effect should be to make the website stickier."
