An interesting aside from media specific content is this article on how to attend a conference: Kevin McDonagh on: How to attend a conference
It’s a practical guide and offers insights into networking, lead generation, client relations and more. I think sales people would glean some new tactics from this article.
My dad has been a printer his entire life. I asked him to have one of the guys he works with take a picture of him working (becuase we don’t have a single one) and this is what they did. EPIC! Thanks John and everyone else..
click image above to experience the World Cup Visualization…
Some of you have asked for more info about the World Cup Visualization I recreated. Honestly, go read the overview of how robby macdonell did it, that’s what I did.
All my data came from wikipedia. I’m still adding data to this little by little as time permits.
As an aside, I’m pretty comfortable using flash and actionscript and I feel that I could have done this in flash in half the time and with the emergence of things like Smokescreen and other things not yet created I would not discount the ubiquity of Flash for the near future.

There isn’t much we can do to express our outrage over this mess except write a letter to our elected officials, never buy anything from BP ever again AND use as few plastics as possible. This is just what Metaprinter Inc. will be doing from this day forward.

I think that the press has been all over the iPad because Apple puts on a good show, and because everyone in journalism-land is looking for a daddy figure who’ll promise them that their audience will go back to paying for their stuff.
In a stunning turn of events for the newspaper industry Q1 2010 numbers show that readers and advertisers have returned to this medium. Experts suggest the return is real and that long-term the outlook for newspapers and newspaper revenues look strong. One ratings analyst with April Capital Management was quoted as saying, “look, where else are people going to raise awareness for their brand or read the news? Newspapers seem the best option for both customers”.
No comment from the Google Topeka executives who are now scrambling to unload their digital advertising and data mining enterprises.
Joel Pett - Climatechange Cartoon
The Great Recession may be over, but this era of high joblessness is probably just beginning. Before it ends, it will likely change the life course and character of a generation of young adults. It will leave an indelible imprint on many blue-collar men. It could cripple marriage as an institution in many communities. It may already be plunging many inner cities into a despair not seen for decades. Ultimately, it is likely to warp our politics, our culture, and the character of our society for years to come.

February 24, 2010; Washington, D.C. – The American Women in Radio & Television (AWRT) is honoring NPR News with three 2010 Gracie Awards® for outstanding series, documentary and podcast, it was announced today. Earning awards are the documentary series “The Science of Spirituality” from religion correspondent Barbara Bradley Hagerty; a two-part report from Kabul correspondent Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson on wide-spread drug addiction in Afghanistan; and the Culturetopia podcast, hosted by arts reporter Neda Ulaby and blogger Linda Holmes. The Gracie Awards recognize and encourage the realistic representation of women in the news and entertainment.
Winning a Gracie Award for “Outstanding Documentary” is “The Science of Spirituality,” a five-part series reported by religion correspondent Barbara Bradley Hagerty in May 2009 on All Things Considered. Based on her book Fingerprints of God, the series delves into burgeoning research studying the human brain to look for evidence of a spiritual world and the new technologies being used to document it. Whether donning a “God helmet,” exploring how prayer affects the brain or examining the neural changes caused by near-death experiences, Hagerty finds that people are experiencing something profound – divine or not. Sharing the award are Cindy Johnston, editor, and web editors Erin Killian and Maria Godoy. The entire series is at: www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=104257486
NPR’s Afghanistan correspondent Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson earns the award in the “Outstanding Series” category for her April 2009 two-part story on the growing number of Afghans escaping the pain of war and poverty by turning to the plentiful and cheap supply of heroin and opium in their country. In the series, she details how a combination of factors – including the war, unemployment and returning Afghan refugees from Iran – are creating and perpetuating a vicious cycle of addiction with little treatment resources available. Among the powerful portraits captured by Sarhaddi Nelson are a 30-year-old mother of six that feeds her drug habit at the expense of her children, and a nine-year-old boy trying to kick his two-year heroin addiction. The award is shared with series editor Douglas Roberts. The reports and accompanying online material are available at npr.org:
www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=102984398&ps=rs
NPR Arts Reporter Neda Ulaby and Monkey See blogger Linda Holmes’ Culturetopia podcast takes home the Gracie Award for “Outstanding Podcast.” Culturetopia encapsulates the week’s news in books, movie, television, music and media. Every Wednesday, Ulaby, Holmes and guests offer a rundown of notable arts coverage from across NPR News shows, providing additional insights into many of the stories. Executive Producer Sara Sarasohn and Producer Michael Katzif are also honored with the award. Download Culturetopia at NPR’s podcast directory:

The 35th Annual Gracie Awards will be presented at a gala on May 25 in Los Angeles. The Gracies are granted by AWRT, a charitable non-profit supporting educational programs, public service campaigns and scholarships to benefit the public, mass media and allied field. NPR has been the recipient of 13 Gracie Awards since 2002.
News video journalism 101 – catharsis
Way back in November 2008 I wrote a brief article The Kindle Needs a Bellows about the disconnect between the number of Kindle users and the push from newspapers to move their content onto such devices.
It’s now January 2010, a little over a year later, and I still don’t know anyone who has purchased an Amazon Kindle or any eReader for that matter. So what’s the fuss? The big news at (consumer electronics show) CES this year was eReaders and Tablets, but aside from the push from magazine and newspaper publishers… where is the consumer demand? Are eReaders nothing more than Thneeds, a veiled attempt at “going green”, or am I missing something here?
Do you own an eReader? Why? How old are you?

*Readers, If you know of any more good ones, please comment and i’ll add them to the main post.
I was looking for more info about the recent purchase of Editor & Publisher by Irvine, Calif.-based Duncan McIntosh Co. Inc. and became completely baffled by the recurrence of Editor & Publisher being referred to as The Bible of the newspaper industry. Did I not get a memo on this? Is it in the tagline? A Google search for “newspaper industry bible” kicks back no less than 6300 results for god’s sake… hmmmm.
Who’s the source of this blasphemy and why is it parroted around the internet from blogs to Big Media with citation of the source? The Bible chronicles the history of ancient Israel… does Editor and Publisher chronicle the history of the ancient newspaper industry?
Someone enlighten me on the source please.
ps. I do not practice any form of organized religion I just think this is really funny.
This gem comes from the Associated press and is published in the Washington Post:
no kidding! Hats off to you BO-MI LIM. Was this headline intentionally loaded or was there something lost in translation? Either way, it’s epic and yes I know it was written in 2007 but I just found it ok?

The Columbia School of Journalism is seeking applicants from news organization leaders for the Punch Sulzberger News Media Executive Leadership Program fourth year, which starts January 25, 2010. (See http://www.sulzbergerleadership.com)

During that time, the participants learn to use strategy, innovation, and other critical approaches to undertake challenges confronting their companies. We spread classes over four sessions of 3-5 days at the Columbia campus.

She can put you in touch with editors from the Providence Journal, the Christian Science Monitor, ABC, the Associated Press as well as some start-up digital media leaders who have completed this unique leadership initiative. Application deadline is Nov. 20.

Bing.com is a new search engine that advertises itself as a “decision engine” becuase it helps you make decisions I guess. The site is not up and running yet but they have a video you can watch to see what they’re offering. I always like to try new offerings which may make my web experience more enjoyable, like Wolfram Alpha’s comparison feature, anyway so I sat through the Bing video.
…they need to redo the video. Why? Because right as the following is being said, “…instead of spitting out search results by popularity we break them into logical categories and bring the best match to the top… and show related searches right there in the results page” The picture below is being shown.
See that? In the search history. Colbert Report… what the hell does that have to do with anything? Nothing! It’s distracting. The running search example in the video is Home Depot, so colbert? Take it out! I’m still looking forward to seeing how Bing will actually work though. Will it help me realize self actualization? It better because that is how high the bar is set.
UPDATE:
Bing is now up and running. I did a simple search comparison for “NJ Boater Safety Course” on Google and Bing and Bing came out on top. It came back with the most relevant sites.
Google – Results 1 – 10 of about 1,130,000 for nj boater safety course. (0.17 seconds)
Bing – 1-10 of 80,500 results

Mr. Scoble,
I’m really disappointed with the example you gave of “newspaper innovation”. The Star-Ledger’s newscast is more of the same middle of the road junk application we need less of. This is about as industry saving as putting a newspaper widget on a MySpace page.
I wish you had used this opportunity to show what kind of innovations are being created and used by Rob Curley, Adrian Holovaty, anything from the Knight Foundation and the Medill School.
I wish you had written about boston.com‘s The Big Picture blog and how it is so fresh and exciting. You blew it.
