The problem with living in an information age is all that information. Here’s some:
- The innovation gap: Your advertising department could use a hand. Ryan Sholin says it’s time to get involved the folks in the ad department if you want to make this online thing work.
- Use caution when reading too much into latest Pew study on video. Howard Owens wonders about definitions as he delves into a much-discussed survey of online video viewing habits. There’s more on the survey from Melissa Worden.
- Facebook: What’s In It For Journalists? Some journalists create a Facebook group to see what the fuss is about, and what the possibilities are. Related: Facebook helps recruit for college media.
- Digital investment:it’s no con, it’s a fact of life. Get used to it. Simon Waldman talks back to John Duncan about why newspapers’ drive to online is important. A good debate between two bloggers I have come to highly respect.
- “People who read newspapers vote in elections.” Terry Heaton digs behind the story to point out that the link between newspapers and political information and advertising may not quite be as presented.
- The New Journalism, by some Old Journalists. Lloyd Shepherd, whom I haven’t read for a while, picks out some interesting bits about the new age of journalism, including this: “the journalists are global.”
- How the hell did we make hard news so boring? Tom Abate suggests the “enemy” isn’t a disinterested public, it’s the journalism.
