Monday, November 30th, 2009 by Gene Golovchinsky I’ve written about some alternatives to the current review process, and I believe one of ways in which the current process can be improved is by formal recognition of reviewers’ efforts. While many conferences and journals acknowledge reviewers by publishing their names, this does not reflect the quality of the effort put in by some reviewers. A more lasting and public recognition of quality reviewers may be one way to improve the quality of this volunteer effort. Interestingly, the APS recently instituted a policy of recognizing referees who review the articles submitted to the various APS journals.

Maybe I’m just getting cranky, but over the weekend and into today I’ve found myself thinking about some building blocks of journalism and thinking, “You know, this is broken.” Not broken as in “this really needs to be recast for the Web” or “some kind of digital adjunct would help here,” but broken as in “this no longer works, and we need to stop doing it.”

Lessons Learned: Marching through quicksand
I have been spending a lot of time lately talking to people in various media companies: editors and agents, executives, journalists, producers and directors. It’s a fascinating time to see content industries in action, because they are facing a constantly changing landscape and are really trying to keep up. In other words, they are facing conditions of extreme uncertainty, just like startups. So I generally feel right at home in these conversations.

Feb | 19 | 2012 Posted by as Marketing and Search Optimization Every blogger would like to have the power to reach all people regardless of geographical location, demographic factors, and market segmentation but they will soon find out that this cannot be done overnight. In fact, there might not be a need to do everything when all efforts can be initially focused on a particular place, age group, or consumer behavior. Rather than aiming for worldwide reach doomed for failure due to lack of resources and abilities, bloggers can produce so much more by identifying specific target markets which they can realistically ...

The practice of open source reporting, still nascent, can take many forms. News organizations are experimenting with methods to open up the reporting process to their readers in an attempt to find the best methods. Scientific American had reportedly been “kicking around the idea for months,” and received its opportunity to take a stab at open source reporting when the story of “ Lucy’s Baby ,” the recently discovered reportedly 3.3 million year old skeleton of an ancestor of human beings called A. Afarensis and nicknamed Selam, made headlines.
