Some good reading for Friday:
- Doubts on claim that online users read more. Andrew Grant-Adamson at Wordblog digs into the headline claims from the latest Eyetrack report — that online readers reader more than their print-reading counterparts & mdash; and raises an eyebrow, and some interesting questions.
- An Unreliable History of the News Media in 500 words. Adrian Monck with a very nice post that raises a fairly big question: is established journalism going the way of established religion.
- Newspapers closing foreign shops being replaced by web reporters. Howard Owens passes along a link that relates to something I mentioned in passing yesterday: the end of the foreign bureau doesn’t mean the end of foreign reporting.
- Have cell phone — will shoot video. Doug Fisher points to some video shot by an enterprising TV producer who turned to her cellphone camera when crews were tied up elsewhere. If you’re a journalist, he suggests, you should be packing. Good advice. (The only thing missing from the piece is the model of the cameraphone: the video is much higher quality than I can get from mine.)
