Late afternoon internet reading:
- Update 1: Internet hosts should be made to pay for libellous statements, suit contends. A libel suit filed in B.C. Supreme Court here in Canada will be one to watch: the alleged libelous statements were made by anonymous posters.
- Where do you get your news? Those of us who turn primarily to the web and all its wonders are not like the other folk, according to Andrew at WordBlog. He’s right, of course.
- “Islamic Fanatics Beat Journo in Canada” — E&P headline. The madness hits closer to home.
- OnSports. A new resource for journalists: a great blog about the fine art of sportswriting. I’ve already pointed some of my sports-mad students to Joe Gisondi’s site.
- Newspapers, Yahoo shifting ad platform. Tom Abate looks at the new-age synergy that’s bringing print and Yahoo together for the financial betterment of both.
- When disaster strikes: The role of the Social Web in coping with the Virginia Tech tragedy. Dennis Dunleavy looks at how Facebook served college students trying to find out about — and cope with — what happened at Virginia Tech.
- NAB 2007 and reflections of new media. From a couple of days ago, but still valuable as Jim Long muses on the changing face of broadcast journalism.
