Hace un par de semanas José Luis Orihuela se preguntaba qué puede aportar Twitter al periodismo y a la sociedad en general, y entre las varias sentencias posibles yo elegía esta que para mí sintetiza lo que la red significa hoy para…
"The audience is dead, long live the users": how... →
The media landscape has fundamentally changed, said Philip Trippenbach, editor-in-chief of the citizen journalism photo agency Citizenside, at WAN-IFRA’s Summer University held this week in Paris.
The traditional one-way vertical relationship from the mass media to the audience does not exist anymore. Indeed, the whole notion of audience does not exist anymore, as users are now taking an...
Google+ : the new social media platform trying to... →
Google has finally revealed Google+ , its new social media site, and it has the potential to change social media interaction.
Although many have already likened the new social network to Facebook, it has its own distinct attractions. The site is meant to add nuance into online socializing. Friends are organized into groups with the Circles feature. Circles organizes contacts so users can...
Revealing Secrets with a Click →
Individuals are growing conscious of the privacy risks that come with surfing the Web, but it turns out that businesses often overexpose themselves too. The problem often arises when workers visit websites for job-related reasons.
Say, for example, that a company is working on a new smart phone. Its engineers research other products and check out how competitors are marketing them. What they...

Danny Sullivan:
“Google’s long expected second shot at taking on Facebook in the social networking space has arrived in the form of the Google Project. It has some interesting twists on the social networking model but is far from a Facebook-killer.”
The preview site is live here. At first glance it looks promising, but time will tell. Circles in particular seems like it may...

TfN# : Twitter for Newsrooms →
Twitter launched a guide for journalists yesterday. Twitter for Newsrooms (TfN#) is a basic explanation of how Twitter works and how it can be useful for journalists. It walks users through a range of Twitter’s functions, such as searching, following, Tweeting, and applications like Tweetdeck. The guide seems like more of a retrospective step, designed for the last print-only stalwarts that...

What newspapers can learn from TV →
As people increasingly turn to the internet as their main source of news, TV new stations are grappling with many of the same problems as newspapers.
Jacques Natz, director of digital media content at Hearst Television, shared a few tips at WAN-IFRA’s Summer University 2011 to help media stay relevant and financially solvent.
Natz explained that the best way to adapt is to deliver news...

Esto dice Matteo Motterlini (Il Sole 24 Ore, 26-VI-2011, “Domenica”, p. 27): Facebook, e sbagli di più: La “saggezza della folla” ai tempi dei social network
(…) Dalla “saggezza della folla” alla “stupidità del gregge” il passo è breve. E, come mostra un recente esperimento condotto al Politecnico di Zurigo da Jan Lorenz e colleghi, è tanto più breve ora di quanto fosse ai...

AS journalists, we spend our lives communicating basic facts to the public, yet somehow we’ve done a poor job of communicating the basics of journalism itself. Its values. What news is and isn’t. Why journalism matters to the broader good. Why it’s the quality of journalism, not necessarily the quantity, that matters most — a notion that journalists have had a hard time communicating even to the...

Silencing Speech With Propaganda →
Aunque el comienzo del artículo de Jason Stanley (professor of philosophy at Rutgers University) en el NY Times es algo confuso y poco actual, el tramo final ofrece el sentido que promete el título.
(…) Whatever one thinks of the wisdom of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, it is difficult to have a reasoned debate about its costs and benefits when the invasion itself is called “Operation Iraqi...
15M: Indignados con los periodistas →
¡Manipuladores! Eso es lo que muchos periodistas que cubrían las protestas del Movimiento 15-M han tenido que escuchar de manifestantes indignados. “Se nos mean encima y la prensa dice que llueve”. En esta frase resumía un grupo de acampados de Barcelona su visión del papel que juegan en esta crisis los grandes medios de comunicación, a los que acusan de tergiversar la realidad en...
How Pixar's 'Cars' became the utlimate... →
Though Cars wasn’t exactly a flop, it wasn’t a Pixar-sized success either, earning justunder $462-million (U.S.) worldwide box office, well below the Pixar average of more than $600-million. Critically, the movie did just okay, rating about 74 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes.
The choice of this movie franchise seems even stranger, considering Pixar could have selected the cream of the catalogue:...

Rosemary G. Feal, executive director of the Modern Language Association, recently experienced something of an identity crisis through her use of social media.
Crashed on the couch at home one night, she sat watching the premiere of the PBS documentary Freedom Riders and tweeting her reactions to the film’s footage of civil-rights activists in the 1960s. After posting more than a dozen...

The following essay is also my column in next week’s AdAge
In the era of cloud computing, any breech in privacy or security - even a minor one - is the fastest way to erode brand equity and consumer trust. Botching the communications around these events or, worse, not being proactive ahead of time to think the unthinkable, could clinch that your brand may never be able to stage a comeback.

Holanda impondrá por ley la neutralidad en la Red →
El principio de neutralidad en la Red gana adeptos. El Congreso de diputados de Holanda ha aprobado una modificación de la ley de telecomunicaciones por la que se impide a los proveedores de acceso a Internet bloquear o hacer pagar más por el uso de determinados servicios. La mayoría votó a favor de una enmienda que tenía el apoyo del ministro de Asuntos Económicos, Maxime Verhagen. “Se...
Copyrighted material: fair and unfair use →
Since its advent, the Internet has blurred the lines between copyrighted and free content. Publishers are frustrated with the seeming inability to keep material under control, and commentators are increasingly careful about sourcing material in order to stay on the right side of copyright and plagiarism cases.
One such case earlier this week ruled that reposting an article in its entirety, even...
Kindle: Opportunity for independent publishers,... →
On Monday, Amazon announced that John Locke became the first independent author to join the ranks of those who have sold a million or more books on Amazon’s Kindle. Locke published his books entirely through Amazon’s self-publishing system, selling his action and adventure stories for 99 cents.
Noting the business opportunity that a 35-cent profit margin on every 99-cent provided,...

In a month where Facebook may have lost as many as 6 million users in the US, and Tumblr — with now over 20 million blogs — surpassed wordpress.com in size, Tumblr is about to hit the critical mass necessary to make it useful as a platform to broadcast and receive news.
So what makes Tumblr great? It enables journalists to send news updates with the immediacy and ease of Twitter....

“Software Extracts Your Location on Twitter Even When It’s Secret”

When you hear people speak about innovation, these days they are usually talking about computers or tablets. But what would it mean to seek out innovation in a totally different field — the cultivation of happier, wholer, better-adjusted men?
Evidence gathers of the scale, complexity and urgency of the masculine problem today. Consider the headlines of late: a Weiner who likes to share pictures...

Since the 1990s, post-Soviet elites have used manipulation, corruption and the government machine to maintain their grip on power. But with countries’ paths diverging over time and with little opposition to speak of in many cases, Andrew Wilson asks: why is there still a need for these dark arts?
“Political technology” – a term largely unfamiliar in the West - is the...

Does Twitter bypass the editorial process? →
Twitter has been heralded as the best new tool for journalists to spread news, but does it exist outside the editorial process?
Many newspapers and broadcasting channels have Twitter accounts, generally used to “tweet” stories that have been reported or written. Sometimes, however, Twitter is the first source of information and thus becomes the initial broadcaster.
