Legacy Journalism and News Coverage

There has definitely been a lot of talk about how legacy media still drives much of the debate, in terms of research and writing and breaking investigative stories. Although that is no longer entirely the case, the Pew Center did a great study on the news ecosystem in Baltimore (Note: Statistics from “The Wire” not included due to mature content).

Adding the Facebook “Like” Button: Why not?

Even though I don’t update this blog every day, it gives me a nice, warm feeling when someone uses social networking tools to broadcast a post they find interesting. There is nothing like referrals to let you know that people enjoy your writing and find it interesting enough to share with friends.

The Future of Journalism: The Web 3.0 Newsroom (Update)

(Update: This new post is an edited piece of an earlier post. Special thanks to journalist and journalism teacher Mindy McAdams for her comments and suggestions. Check out her site here.)

The future of the newsroom will be quite different than the one we are used to today.

They will help people make sense of the world around them, giving them the information they need to function, in any form they want it. The concept of the newsroom – journalists working side-by-side to write stories and direct content will be replaced by a “virtual” newsroom of chats, emails and conference calls. It’s already begun to happen.
