....und Blogging gehört def. zum Mainstream (ganz egal was DRS3 dazu sagen mag), wenn Cybi schon den dritten Cybi-Gerburri vergisst :-)))

Jay Rosen startet paralell zu seinem Blog PressThink ein neues Projekt - Blue Plate Special:

This blog has to expand. One way of doing that: a new spin-off site called Blue Plate Special, written by students in my blogging 101 class, plus others we may drag in. Each Special to offer fresh intelligence about one thing going on in the Net-meets-journalism world. First up: newspaper blogging.

If you’re a newspaper blogger or an editor who’s overseeing blogs, expect an e-mail or call. We may want to interview you. And if you want to be in this package or help us out, e-mail me. We can use you. If you’re a blogger, journalist, writer or aspiring press critic who reads PressThink, and you want to contribute to the debut of Blue Plate Special, we don’t pay in dollars but we plan to pay in readers and linkage.

New York Magazine: Blogs to Riches - The Haves and Have-Nots of the Blogging Boom

Marc Glaser startet sein blog: MediaShift

I have danced around becoming a blogger myself. I’ve written some email newsletters that had blog-like tendencies, with a personal tone, commentary and links to other media sources. When I wrote a column for the USC Annenberg School’s Online Journalism Review, the column started its life as a blog-like stream of consciousness with no original reporting — that is, I didn’t interview people but relied on other news stories for my commentary. That changed, and I was soon doing in-depth reporting about — you guessed it — blogs.

I was on Air America, the liberal radio network, as a blog expert, when the host Marty Kaplan sucker-punched me on air: “You write and talk about blogs all the time, so why don’t you actually blog?” Well… The truth was that I knew that a blog would take over my life, requiring care and feeding more than the highest maintenance pet. And if it wasn’t screaming out to me for more content, then the Comments section, where readers respond to each blog posting, would be brimming with controversy that I couldn’t ignore.

But now, finally, in 2006, I am ready to turn my life over to the blog.

Man darf gespannt sein.... : http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/

Das "Meckerblog" beobachtet ZEIT online: Was macht die Redaktion falsch, was sollte sie besser machen? Der Autor ist ein unabhängiger Journalist. Er erhält für das Meckerblogging ein schmal bemessenes Honorar. Und wir versprechen hoch und heilig, an seinen Einträgen kein Quant zu zensieren oder zu redigieren.

The New York Times Memo on Blogging gibts bei cyberjournalist.net:

We’ll use the technology our way. Our bloggers will have editors. They will observe our normal standards of fairness and care. They won’t float rumors or take journalistic shortcuts. Critics and opinion columnists can have opinion blogs; reporters can’t. (To quote Carr: “If the Carpetbagger delved into plot or relative quality – they didn’t turn me loose for my refined cinematic taste ­ flying monkeys would come out of the ceiling here at headquarters and behead him.”) We’ll encourage readers to post their thoughts, but we’ll screen them first to make sure the conversation is civil. Some bloggers will accuse us of violating blogospheric standards of openness and spontaneity. That’s life in the big city.

Die BBC steig in die mainstream Weblog-Welt ein mit Nick Robinson's Newslog:



Now I never thought I'd find myself writing this but... My name's Nick Robinson and I am a blogger.If, like me, you're not a trainspotter of all things on the web you might not know what a blogger is and might not much fancy the sound of it. Worry not, it's painless. Please read on, though, because this blogging business is something special.

You see, the funny thing about broadcasting is that you speak to a vast number of people but you all too rarely have a conversation with them - beyond perhaps with someone who asks "Are you that guy on the telly?" or "Why do you wear those ridiculous specs?"

Which is where Newslog - this weblog - comes in. It's a chance for me to add a thought or an observation from my political front row seat. I may also invite you to listen, watch or read something that's particularly interested me. It's a chance too for you to add your thought or pose a question (though preferably not about my choice of glasses).

As well as being a conversation, weblogs can be more personal, which is why the format is finding ever more uses in the mainstream media.
