10 STEPS TO CITIZEN JOURNALISM ONLINE is an interactive training module intended as a basic introduction to the new online world of Web logs or "blogs."

We all have news and stories to tell. But the Internet lets us tell our stories to the world. If you want to tell something important to others, this guide will help you. It's a basic outline that will help you build the machinery that runs your blog: your words and images. Other guides are technological. This guide tells you how to gather information and how to tell it and tell it accurately.

Vom Umgang mit Kommentaren - The audience strikes back ;-)

Cyberwriter — 2007-06-08T12:38:00Z

Wie sollen Medien mit LeserInnen-Kommentaren umgehen? Pat Walters hat einige interessante Meinungen und Ansätze diverser Medien bei Poynter.org zusammengetragen:

Jim Brady, Editor der washingtonpost.com :

"The main issues we've had with comments are the same ones other news organizations have experienced: monitoring and tone. That said, I view commenting as an essential part of where online journalism is headed, and news organizations need to heal the existing wounds and not amputate the limb. For us, engaging readers -- through blogs, comments on articles, live discussions, hyperlinked bylines, social networking functions -- is absolutely essential: it builds immense loyalty with readers, it allows communities to form around common interests, it makes readers feel like they're participating and not watching from the outside. Most of that is lost on folks who don't understand the difficulties all Web sites face in attracting and retaining readers. Community is a differentiator."

Und Heather Moore, NYTimes.com Community Editor:

"Unlike traditional Letters to the Editor, reader comments at The Times are not edited and the great majority of them are published. Moderating, like editing, is an art and every moderator's touch is slightly different. But the guidelines we provide are clear: no personal attacks and no vulgarity or profanity of any kind. Offensiveness can sometimes be a matter of interpretation. We aim to lean on the side of good taste and respectfulness. While our moderators move quickly, it's not fast enough for some used to instant gratification. We hope the majority of folks who choose us for their news agree that protecting the conversation is worth it."

Tish Gier schreibt:

"The Editorial Team has been working overtime pulling together all the various editorial elements we will need to have in place for our June 5 publication date."

und weiter:

"It's been a pretty busy "newsroom" over here--except that we're not all in the same space, nor are we all working at the exact same time. At times it has the feeling of a 24-hour newsroom with a staff of five--copious emails at all sorts of times of day. Then there are times when it's as if no one's around at all (and there are metaphorical crickets chirping in the background.) Yet even in those moments, one of us, somewhere, is busy with some particular task that will help all those bits and pieces and efforts coalesce into something pretty darned amazing. . .Stay tuned...."

http://zero.newassignment.net/

Welcome. We're covering a story: How the Web makes it possible for the crowd to be the source of good ideas. But instead of one journalist reporting, we've created a site where many people can work on the story, with editors as guides. You are now in the Newsroom, where you can find an overview and learn what others are doing. The Assignment Desk is where you can see what we're covering in detail, and get an assignment. The Exchange is a place to offer new ideas. Check the day's developments with The Scoop. Ready?

Doc Searls: The Net is a giant zero

Cyberwriter — 2007-03-08T14:21:00Z

"The Net is a giant zero. It puts everybody zero distance from everybody and everything else. And it supports publishing and broadcasting at costs that round to zero as well.

It is essential for the mainstream media to understand that the larger information ecosystem is one that grows wild on the Net and supports everybody who wants to inform anybody else. It no longer grows inside the mainstream media's walled gardens.

Those gardens will continue to thrive only to the degree that they do two things: 1) open up; and 2) live symbiotically with individuals outside who want to work together for common purposes."

Community und Citizen Media - Wieviel Partizipation tut gut?

Interessanter Artikel von Marc Glaser bei mediashift:

Community Is Key to Participation in Citizen Media:

When I asked you what would motivate you to submit stories, photos or video to a particular citizen media site, your answers followed one theme: give us community, give us a sense of belonging.

The Chronicle: Correct Me If I'm Wrong...

Cyberwriter — 2007-02-02T12:31:00Z

Almost every day, The Chronicle hears from readers (and some non-readers). Most of these comments -- voicemail, email and letters -- don't make it into our letters column. But they can be unusually passionate, irate, confounding and creative.

We listen to them and read them, and we think some of the more interesting and unusual ones are worth sharing.

So, today, we're starting a new feature to showcase these communications. It's called, "Correct Me If I'm Wrong."

Die New York Times beschäftigt sich "gezwungernermassen" mit CJ (Citizen Journalism) mit einem immernoch eher zynischen Unterton:

Starting tomorrow, users will be able to upload photos and videos to a section of Yahoo called You Witness News (news.yahoo.com/page/youwitnessnews). All of the submissions will appear on Flickr or a similar site for video. Editors at both Reuters and Yahoo will review the submissions and select some to place on pages with relevant news articles, just as professional photographs and video clips are woven into their news sites today.

People dont say, I want to see user-generated content, said Lloyd Braun, who runs Yahoos media group. They want to see Michael Richards in the club. If that happens to be from a cellphone, they are happy with a cellphone. If its from a professional photographer, they are happy for that, too.

Man könnte es fast "Reader's Digest" nennen ....

Cyberwriter — 2006-11-30T15:09:00Z

Sehr interessanter Artikel von Michael Hirschhorn bei The Atlantic online. Der Artikel nimmt konkret Bezug auf die EPIC 2014-Vision und Epic 2015-Vision von Matt Thompson und Robin Sloan. Das Blog der beiden: http://snarkmarket.com/blog/ (Die deutsche Version von EPIC 2014 gibts hier.)

Online news, microchunked, consumed on the fly, is fast food; the newspaper, fed by its newly invigorated journalist-brands, is the sit-down meal. In this marginally more optimistic future history, the roles of print and digital are inverted. Original newsin the form of stories, postings, and communitybegins online, while print offers an intelligent digest/redaction that readersand not only the elite and elderlycan peruse at their leisure. You could even call it Readers Digest.
