I couldn’t be happier for Elizabeth Vargas, who along with Bob Woodruff will anchor ABC’s World News Tonight. And it’s not just because she is a fellow Missouri School of Journalism alum, though it is nice to show the New York media elite that there are other worthy journalism schools besides the one in uptownContinue reading “ABC News’ Vargas and Woodruff Pairing is Worth Watching, Online and Off”

Journalism Next: The Three (or Four) Branches of the New News Media
The online world – for all its vastness, connectivity and influence – is insulated. That’s not a problem for most people, considering that the online world often makes more sense. But unlike your typical EverQuest player, I have to live in the real world, too. I was in the real world over the weekend –Continue reading “Journalism Next: The Three (or Four) Branches of the New News Media”
The Journalist’s Creed Then and Now – From Williams to Woodward
Thousands of journalists inspired by Watergate and the investigative reporting of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein learned their craft at the University of Missouri. They also learned the Journalist’s Creed, written in 1908 by Dean Walter Williams and which today still stands as a manifesto for journalistic principle and purpose. It reads: I believe inContinue reading “The Journalist’s Creed Then and Now – From Williams to Woodward”
Don’t Look For Riches in Citizen Journalism – Let Citizen Journalism Enrich You
I’m excited about citizen journalism, and most people who live in the little online echo chamber we call the blogosphere are excited about this people-powered evolution of news, too. Get out in the real world, however, and the reaction is guarded. Not as poorly guarded as, say, your typical Iowa or Texas prison facility, butContinue reading “Don’t Look For Riches in Citizen Journalism – Let Citizen Journalism Enrich You”

New York Times, News Media are Not the Biggest Weasels, According to “Enthusiastically Unscientific” Poll
Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert comic strip, released the results of his fourth annual “weasel poll” today – and the results are not good for the mainstream media. According to the wholly unscientific, virtually meaningless poll of 40,000 substantially non-U.S. residents, the New York Times is the fifth “weaseliest” company. Edging out theContinue reading “New York Times, News Media are Not the Biggest Weasels, According to “Enthusiastically Unscientific” Poll”
Connie Loves Maury, Newspaper Subscriptions Sour and Media Companies Go with the Wind
Couple-casters Connie Chung and Maury Povich will host a morning network news show. Not to worry — the show is on Saturdays on MSNBC, so no one will ever see it. According to a story by the Associated Press, the average weekday circulation at U.S. newspapers fell 2.6 percent in the six month-period ending inContinue reading “Connie Loves Maury, Newspaper Subscriptions Sour and Media Companies Go with the Wind”
New Site Bears “i-Witness” to the Age of the Journalist
Tim Porter calls this the Age of the Journalist, and nearly every day he is proven right by some new web site, blog or other initiative that puts content from and center, and traditional media conglomerates in the rear-view mirror. One project not to miss i-Witness, which “aims to help journalists worldwide get to gripsContinue reading “New Site Bears “i-Witness” to the Age of the Journalist”
Warning: This Post May Contain Lies, Libel and Invective
I’ve been busy of late with that dreadful thing called work, so detailed and more thoughtful comments about Steve Rubel’s Forbes cover story post, and the story itself, will have to wait. Nevertheless, I love what Steve says about the “gist” of the story, which is that blogs are “the prized platform of an onlineContinue reading “Warning: This Post May Contain Lies, Libel and Invective”
