Exciting times for the newsrooms of the future.Steve Fox tells us the good news:"Newspapers, including Gannett’s, have traditionally operated in silos: national reporters and editors covered national news, photographers took care of the images, etc. Gannett takes all these traditions and throws them out the window. The focus will be on delivering information, not job titles and section loyalties.

This makes sense to me because of the convenience factor for some advertisers. However, its not enough and not nearly what Google could be doing to revolutionize print advertising.From what the article reads, it seems that this trial is only limited to selling, thus Google only acts as another distributor of ads for the selected papers.The beauty of AdSense is the advanced algorithms that allow

49 minutes ago, the news came from London.AP reports:"Blair opposes death penalty for SaddamPrime Minister Tony Blair said Monday he opposed the death penalty for Saddam Hussein even though the deposed Iraqi leader's trial had reminded the world of his brutality. Asked about Saddam's sentence at his monthly press conference, Blair noted that Britain opposed the death penalty "whether it's Saddam

These are some of the covers 24 hours after the big news about Saddam.As expected, just the old news.Not too much creativity.No planning.No surprises.Again, and again, the same "breaking-news" reaction when print newspaper are not anymore breaking-news media.And a few exceptions like the good headline from the NY Daily News in the tabloid tradition, the what's next approach in the The Oregonian,

Two relevant quotes from a web exclusive of Jessica Ramirez in Newsweek:PROFITS"Newspaper profitability remains high. Cash-flow margins—a good measure of the self-financing capabilities and profitability of a business—are still high.

Last Thursday, the CEO of Gannett, Craig Dubow, sent this historical memo to all his newsrooms:"I'd like to talk about a Gannett innovation called the Information Center.

Well, this is too much.NewDesigner tracks the last USA redesigns and adds the most recent ones in the UK and the conclusion is clear: what newspapers need now is more than graphic redesigns.Of course, many of these USA redesigns were done before changes in the amount of free copies that many of these papers were giving away, but the reality is this:You can re-design your paper (and many USA paper

The Newspaper Association of America (NAA) reports that 57 million Americans visit newspaper websites for an average of 1.37 minutes a day.Well, four years ago, the average reader of an US print newspaper devoted 20 minutes to "reading" the daily newspaper.Today this figure is 10 minutes.If this is the case, US is becoming an on-and-off line newspaper market with "Reading without Reading",

Now that everybody seems so pessimistic about the future of newspapers as an advertising medium, I found this excellent collection of powerpoint presentation from the NAA that presents interesting data and arguments.Worth to browse and see the other side os the story.As we said many times, let's not forget that newspapers companies still make three times more money than the average 500 Fortune

Jeff Jarvis is very direct:Last night, we had our gala opening for the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism and many noted with rueful nostalgia that we were in the old Herald-Tribune building (next to the new New York Times building). We were surrounded by computers and screens and students: in short, the future. It’s a reminder that newspapers do die. But journalism will continue, in one form or

Why the Western media is not remembering too much the 1956 Hungarian revolt?In Time words: October 23, 1956: Students hold demonstration in front of the General Bem statue demanding reforms, democratization, and the return of premier Imre Nagy. When students attempt to be heard over Budapest radio, police try to disperse crowd with tear gas, beatings and numerous arrests. The crowd attempts to

Information Architects got it right:95% of the information on the web is written language. It is only logical to say that a web designer should get good training in the main discipline of shaping written information, in other words: Typography.And then they add:Simplicity as a result of a creative process is “the ultimate sophistication”, as Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) said.Simple websites are

The New York Times expends around three million USD per year to cover Iraq.With four or five rotating correspondents, two photographers, 70 stringers and 45 armed guards, the budget looks to me very modest for the amazing job that they are doing.120 journalists and assistants have died in this conflict.The 130.000 US soldiers in Iraq and their families and friends deserve such coverage, and

A great cover with a compelling headline.And a more real picture of the black democratic senator from Illinois.If you compare the pictures of Barack Obama you will understand why Time is a politically correct magazine that after the dark and controverrsial cover for O.
