From the feedreader so far today:
- Amid a deluge of criticism, Tampa Tribune increases to two sections of news content weekdays. The Tampa Tribune redesigned as a single-section newspaper, fired up the readers, and has decided to back a way a little. Seems people still care about their newspaper, but I wonder how many of the reported 300 subscription cancellations will come back.
- Interview: Sam Abell And The Life Of A Photograph. Sam Abell is one of my favourite NatGeo photographers. This is a great, thoughtful interview that makes me want to pick up the camera and go for a walk. Via Rob Galbraith. Related: Gerik does a great job of ferreting out photo columns.
- Mediashift at PBS. A very nice redesign of the site. Most of my surfing is feedreader and Twitter driven, so I don’t do portals. If I did, this would be one of them. Also getting interesting: Mahalo.
- The newspapers that may survive – and why. Roy Greenslade makes no apologies for continuing to write that the journalistic sky is falling.
- ‘A significant challenge’ over at New Jersey’s Exploding Newsroom. This may be too “insider” for readers, but the Ledger Live daily newscast turns its cameras on what the future of the newspaper is.
- Steven Smith departs and the question arises: Who should lead newspapers’ online transformation? More discussion on Steve Smith’s resignation, whether it was right or wrong, and What It All Means. The discussion in the comments is particularly interesting. Related: S-R web producer says goodbye to the newsroom she loves.
- Journalists So Daft They Are Incapable Of Noticing Their Own Impenetrable Daftness. Is the problem in the interview really a stumbling politician or is it, as Terry Glavin says, a problem with the interviewer, who appears tone-deaf to the confusion his question is creating?
- dave cohn – spotlight on spot.us – part 1. I mentioned the other day I have not paid enough attention to a number of sites, including Dave Cohn’s spot.us. Fortunately, Alexandre Gamela has just posted, in two parts, an in-depth video interview that’s well worth your time.
