Presse - Article - Google perd en appel face à la presse belge. Le 18 juillet 2011, Google a réintégré dans son moteur de recherche les journaux représentés par Copiepresse qu’il avait désindexés trois jours plus tôt, et a annoncé qu’il n’avait pas l’intention de continuer à agir de la sorte. C’est le dernier acte du long combat que se sont livré devant les tribunaux, Copiepresse et Google Inc., sur l’utilisation par ce dernier, via son service Google News, de liens menant à des articles d’actualité issus de la presse.
Le désaccord a commencé en 2006, avec le lancement en Belgique de Google News qui regroupe et recense des articles d’actualité. Copiepresse, qui gère les droits de publication pour les éditeurs belges de presse francophone et germanophone, comme La Libre Belgique, Le Soir, La Dernière Heure et Genz-Echo, a immédiatement exigé de Google qu’il paye des royalties aux éditeurs et aux auteurs concernés, ou qu’il arrête de référencer les textes publiés dans la presse. Les avis divergent sur cette histoire à rebondissements. MAGS-ONLINE.jpg (Image JPEG, 959x751 pixels) - Redimensionnée (84%)
What’s the Right Ratio of Editors to Contributors in Hyperlocal? Toby Murdock is a guest author. If you’d like to submit a guest post, click here. What is the right ratio for the number of editors required to manage a number of contributors? And as the economics of content change and hyperlocal publishers try new models, should that ratio change? Must it change? Matt Marshall, editor of Venture Beat, wrote a post last week about AOL’s prospects. He criticized the recent move by hyperlocal network Patch to recruit another 8,000 contributors as “naive” saying: It takes at least 20 percent of extra management to organize it all — that is, AOL will need at least 1,500-2000 extra editors to manage the writers, if you take the editor-writer ratio norm of other major news organizations. A good point. Undoubtedly there will always be a need for editorial management of contributors. In our discussions with editorial teams, a good amount of that is administration: tracking editorial calendars, figuring out payment, etc.
Coffee with…Joe Strupp | Baristanet. Joe Strupp is a classic newspaper reporter. He’s also an ordained minister as well, but more on that later. He was born in Wisconsin, moved to Summit, which he considers his hometown, at age seven. He started his career at the Daily Journal in Elizabeth, went west to San Francisco to work for the San Francisco Independent and then came back east and on to become senior editor for Editor & Publisher magazine. He’s written a novel – The City and County.
He’s currently an investigative reporter for MediaMatters.org. But locally, he’s know best for his blog, The Maplewoodian, and stirring the pot. Why do you think Maplewood was a hotspot for the hyperlocal phenomenon? Maplewood is a media mecca. What do you think of hyperlocal news sites? They are a necessary evil. You like to stir the pot. That was great! You did a piece on the murder of Christine Burns. I moved here in 2000. Where do you think journalism will go? I think quality is going down, sadly.
You have a new job at Media Matters. Déclaration d’Ahmad Zeidabadi, lauréat 2011 du Prix mondial de la liberté de la presse UNESCO / Guillermo Cano. Je suis triste de ne pas pouvoir écrire un message vraiment digne de cette occasion et de votre réunion. Comme vous le savez, la Cour révolutionnaire m’a condamné, en plus des six années de prison, à cinq ans d’exil et à une interdiction à vie de toute activité politique, sociale et journalistique. Elle m’interdit d’écrire et de parler. De fait, tout message de ma part ajouterait à mes souffrances et à celles de ma famille. Malgré cette restriction, je voudrais dire clairement que dans l’exercice de ma profession, je n’ai jamais utilisé d’autres moyens que ma plume et ma parole.
Ce faisant, je suis resté dans les limites étroites posées par les lois et règlements du gouvernement iranien. Mais, en violation de leurs propres lois et règles, ils m’ont imposé des souffrances allant au-delà de ce que je peux endurer. Des souffrances comparables à celles d’une personne crucifiée pendant des semaines ou enterrée vivante. Real time, All the time: Why every news organisation has to be live « Emily Bell(wether) Twitter does not have many users in Abbottabad in Pakistan, where Facebook is apparently more the social platform of choice. But it has enough to break the first sounds of gunfire in the fight which was to eventually lead to the death of Osama bin Laden. Sohaib Athar, with his @ReallyVirtual Twitter handle, is not the future of news he is the present of news. Mainstream media has in truth never really lived where events actually happen, unless it is in the centers of power where information control is practiced. So government, finance, entertainment and sports make it easier for news organisations to live where the news breaks.( Or indeed Royalty).
Some organisations - Reuters, the AP, CNN, the BBC - have enough resource to provide a reasonable impression of living where news breaks, but for the rest, the game has been to assemble analysis, context, personality and subsidiary facts around the core of breaking news and to package it into a business.

Kicking off a unbroken series of dismal earnings reports for the first quarter of this year, Gannett last week reported that print ad sales fell 7.2% from the same period in 2010. The largest of the publicly held publishers, Gannett’s geographically diversified portfolio of small, medium and large newspapers is something of a barometer, inasmuch as its results have closely mirrored the industry’s over-all performance in the last five tumultuous years. Gannett’s performance proved to be far from the worst.
McClatchy reported yesterday that its ad revenues fell 11.0% in the first quarter from the prior year. As more earnings reports arrive in the coming days, few, if any, publishers are likely to report positive sales. Continuously falling revenues this far into an economic recovery are unprecedented for the newspaper industry.

New York Times. Guardian. Paton Prepares His Newspapers for a World Without Print. Matthew Staver for The New York Times John Paton, the MediaNews chief, notoriously said the industry needed to "stop listening to newspaper people. " Matthew Staver for The New York Times The morning news meeting at The Denver Post, which is owned by the MediaNews Group Mr. Paton was given control of MediaNews by its owners in September based on his success operating the smaller Journal Register Company after it emerged from bankruptcy in 2009. Among other feats, he increased digital revenue by over 200 percent in his first full year as chief executive. According to Mr. “When I finished, they looked crestfallen,” he said, adding that they seemed to be asking, “No secret sauce? Except few have. What began as a tidy little experiment has become perhaps the single biggest bet in the whole newspaper business: The Journal Register and MediaNews are now in 18 states, with over 800 print and digital products, with revenue of over $1.4 billion and 10,000 employees.
Mr. Incredible image by Goran Tomasevic of coalition airstrike in. A Letter to Our Readers About Digital Subscriptions. High-Tech : Les Américains préfèrent s'informer sur Internet. Ils sont désormais plus nombreux à s'informer en ligne qu'en lisant des journaux. Seule la télévision locale fait mieux. Pour la première fois, les revenus publicitaires sur le Web ont aussi dépassé ceux de la presse écrite. Lorsqu'il s'agit de suivre l'actualité, les Américains allument désormais plus souvent leur ordinateur qu'ils ouvrent des journaux. Pour la première fois, ils ont été en 2010 plus nombreux à s'informer au moins trois fois par semaine sur Internet (46%) que dans la presse écrite (40%), selon l'étude annuelle du Pew Project for Excellence in Journalism.
Seules les chaînes d'information locales font encore mieux (50%). En tête des habitudes d'information depuis le début des années 1960, elles pourraient elles aussi rapidement céder du terrain face à Internet, estime Tom Rosenstiel, directeur de l'étude. Prêts à payer pour de l'information locale En attendant, Internet continue de bénéficier d'une réallocation des budgets de publicité en ligne. Overview. By Tom Rosenstiel and Amy Mitchell of the Project for Excellence in Journalism By several measures, the state of the American news media improved in 2010. After two dreadful years, most sectors of the industry saw revenue begin to recover. With some notable exceptions, cutbacks in newsrooms eased. And while still more talk than action, some experiments with new revenue models began to show signs of blossoming.
Among the major sectors, only newspapers suffered continued revenue declines last year—an unmistakable sign that the structural economic problems facing newspapers are more severe than those of other media. When the final tallies are in, we estimate 1,000 to 1,500 more newsroom jobs will have been lost—meaning newspaper newsrooms are 30% smaller than in 2000. Beneath all this, however, a more fundamental challenge to journalism became clearer in the last year.
News organizations — old and new — still produce most of the content audiences consume. Make 'engagement' your mantra as an online news publisher. The Web publishing business is a bit more complex than “more traffic = more revenue.” While years have watching ABC circulation figures have trained many journalists to want the largest circulation possible, business-savvy journalists long have known that not all audiences generate the same revenue. But how do you reach the audience that will allow your publication to stay in business? Before I go any further today, let me again make the point again that the audience is not your customer. Your customer is whoever writes you a check. In most cases, that means our customers, as publishers, are the advertisers who pay for placement in our news publications. A customer also can be the non-profit foundation or angel investor that funds a news website.
It even could be, as the New York Times hopes , the audience itself, if there’s a paid content scheme in place. The beige circle is all the available audience out there that might be interested in your website. The rest of the yellow area? Huffington Post : le soufflé de l’économie de la gratitude est-il tombé ? - Web 1,2,3 - ElectronLibre.
Arianna Huffington bout, elle rage contre Tasini, l’ancien blogueur du Huffington Post qui a entamé cette semaine une “class action” contre elle. Mais la démarche de Madame Huffington est bien futile. Rien ne sert de hurler à qui veut l’entendre que la demande de Tasini d’obtenir 105 millions de dollars pour les blogueurs du HuffPo est ridicule et n’a aucun fondement juridique. Le fait que cette action en justice soit risible ou non aura au final bien peu d’importance. Quoi qu’il arrive, Huffington est désormais dans une bien piètre position face à AOL, à qui elle a vendu son site à prix d’or en février dernier et qui est son nouvel employeur. Car on ne peut guère oublier qu’elle est arrivée tambour battant chez AOL avec une horde de contributeurs qui n’étaient pas payés, en étaient contents et avaient un enthousiasme contagieux.
AOL a payé pour cela, et a d’ailleurs commencé à remercier ses contributeurs rémunérés. La recette du gâteau aux dollars Ou était-ce un soufflé ? Will the Shropshire and Wolverhampton walls pay? | Journalism.co.uk Editors' Blog. Part-paywalls have gone up at the UK’s biggest-selling regional daily, the Wolverhampton-based Express and Star, and at sister title, the Shropshire Star.
Breaking news will remain free but other content, such as football reports, are now behind the wall. But will Wolverhampton and Shropshire pay? At £2.19 more a month than the Times, is £12.18 too high a price for a monthly digital-only subscription? Last week the Times, which went behind a paywall last summer, announced that it has 79,000 digital subscribers and the Financial Times, which has been behind a metered pay model for 10 years as of yesterday, also claims success with 210,000 subscribers.
But the Times and FT have their own reasons for tens of thousands of digital subscribers. Paywalls put up by UK regional newspapers have been less successful. The exact cost may not be the deciding factor in whether readers decide to get their credit cards out. Similar posts: Part-paywall goes up at UK's biggest regional daily. Express and Star launches part-paywall at £12.18 a month for digital-only subscriptions The UK's biggest selling regional newspaper, the Express and Star, has today launched a part-paywall at £12.18 a month for a digital-only subscription.
The Wolverhampton-based paper has launched 'Express & Star 24', a print, online and smartphone package at £2.34 per week. As VAT applies to the digital-only package, it is more expensive at £2.81 a week. Breaking news is still available on Express & Star's website but other content, such as photo galleries, match analysis and real time traffic and travel is no longer free and will only be available on the paid-for "premium" site and the new "intelligent '24' app" for iPhone and iPad.
When the Express and Star announced the launch of a new "premium" website last month, deputy editor Keith Harrison said expressandstar.com would continue to publish "edited highlights" of the day's breaking news on the free-to-view front page of the site.
