Michael Arrieta-Walden, Public Editor beim Oregonian hat neben seiner wöchentlichen Kolumne nun ein Weblog gestartet. Momentan noch als Experiment:

Welcome to the Public Editor blog. I am Michael Arrieta-Walden and as public editor of The Oregonian I seek to answer reader concerns and questions about the newspaper. My hope in starting this experimental blog is to address more readers, more often than my weekly column affords.
I want to hear your comments and questions about the news coverage in The Oregonian. Point out errors or questions of fairness and bias, but also deliver praise when deserved.

Daniel Okrent, Public Editor bei der New York Times hat den Schritt zum Weblog bisher nicht vollzogen und publiziert seit Jahresbeginn seine wöchentliche Kolumne: Week in Review: The Public Editor. (Aktuelles Thema: All the News That's Fit to Print? Or Just Our News?)

Interessanter Artikel in der Online Journalism Review über Pablo J. Boczkowskis neues Buch, das im April erschienen soll: "Digitizing the News: Innovation in Online Newspapers":

Journalists around the world have long agreed on a set of values that help define whether a story is newsworthy. But a new book about online news argues that these rules are in flux: "Newsworthy" is slowly being redefined online by an increasingly participatory audience.

Andrew Nachison Direktor des American Press Institute’s Media Center und "Auftraggeber" der WeMedia-Studie, ruft (vom 10-12.März - Newport Beach, California) zur "MediaMorphosis"-Retreat:

Forget everything you’ve come to expect from other conferences. MediaMorphosis is about enlightened participation, mutual discovery and cross-industry collaboration. No bloviating panels, canned presentations or PowerPoint outlines.

At this meeting, no One is as smart as Everyone. Each participant brings something to our roundtables.

The setting is intimate, the sessions collaborative. Participants join thinking-and-discovery circles where skilled facilitators move ideas and dialog from an inner circle of experts to an outer circle of participants. Conversations move inside-out, outside-in. There’s nothing linear about the thinking or the way we get at it, and the creative journey leads to rewarding, sometimes unexpected, destinations.

Leonard Witt hat Andrew Nachison zu "MediaMorphosis" interviewt: Media Center Thinkfest: Everyone Is Media.

Man darf gespannt sein.
