Up early and surfing:
- Why Newspaper Blogs Don’t Work. Mark Evans has some thoughts. Short version: It’s all about passion. An aside: I’m not sure why more newspapers don’t use blogs for some of their storytelling.
- Vlog#5. Ian Reeves is back with his fifth video report, and it’s as entertaining as ever. If you haven’t been watching, you should start.
- Multimedia: Inside the new Telegraph newsroom. A narrated slideshow tour the multimedia-driven Daily Telegraph newsroom.
- A Veteran Newspaper Watcher Worries and Wonders. An “exit interview” with John Morton, who recently shuttered the newspaper industry newsletter the Morton-Groves Newspaper Newsletter, in which he expresses optimism for newspapers, if they bulk up newsgathering and get themselves online.
- Radical advice: A slow descent into multimedia convergence won’t work. The “radical advice” comes from Dave Morgan, chairman of a behavioral targeting advertising network, and involves fundamental change. Interesting ideas, but they seem to involve throwing out bathwater and baby.
- Pack blogging, journalism, and sense making. An interesting post that asks some questions that need to be asked. Via Len Witt, who has some thoughts on it all.
