ABC presenter reprimanded over Twitter. Perth's ABC morning radio presenter Geoff Hutchison has been reprimanded by the national broadcaster for his comments on Twitter attacking Opposition Leader Tony Abbott. While Mr Abbott appeared on the ABC's Q and A program on Monday night, Hutchison used his Twitter account @hutchabc to unleash several tweets criticising the Liberal leader. Hutchison made fun of Mr Abbott on Twitter, saying: "I have gay Muslim friends says Tony. But I don't really like them. " He also wrote that Mr Abbott had said homosexuals were "morally dubious, but big tobacco is all right by me".
Advertisement The ABC ordered Hutchison to delete his Twitter account, saying it breached the broadcaster's social media policy which states employees "should not mix professional and personal in ways likely to bring the ABC into disrepute". "Geoff has been reminded of his obligations under the ABC's social media guidelines and that any future use of Twitter should be in accordance with ABC policy," an ABC spokesman said. Wikipedia Most Used Social Media Among European Journalists. In the past year, we’ve been hearing about journalists actively using Twitter to source stories, get in touch with contacts, and promote their services. But a new study of journalists in the UK, France and Germany shows that Twitter isn’t the number one social media that journalists turn to: Wikipedia is. In fact, 60% of the journalists polled use Wikipedia to fact-check stories once a week. That says a lot about a new breed of journalist who is ready to embrace socially-edited information as valid for news stories.
Read below the jump for more journalists in social media findings. The Cision 2010 Social Journalism Study examined hundreds of journalists from the UK, France and Germany to get insight into their professional social media habits. Journalists in the UK are most likely to think that social media is either ‘somewhat important’ or ‘important’ in their jobs, with 75% falling into one of these two response categories. ABC The Drum Unleashed - Social media is nothing to fear. Find More Stories Social media is nothing to fear Drag0nista It's human nature to dislike, even hate, what we fear and to fear that which is foreign to us.
These drivers underpin many of the entrenched prejudices that exist in this world, to humanity's great shame and dismay. Prejudice and its implications can occur on a grand scale or at the micro level. At the micro level it may be the cut of your suit, the ink on your skin or even the way you speak that fans the embers of ignorance into the flames of prejudice. Well, at least that's what we always say about prejudice - that it should be challenged. It's the micro level of prejudice that I've pondered since attending the Media140 social media conference last month. One explained that they didn't often tweet but monitored the Twitter stream to plunder it for stories. It occurred to me then that many working journalists just don't get social media and it may be for this reason that they've formed negative attitudes toward it. Email Share x.
Ombudsman Blog - Post Editor Ends Tweets as New Guidelines Are Issued. By Andy Alexander As tweets on Twitter, they’re pretty innocuous. “We can incur all sorts of federal deficits for wars and what not,” read a recent one. “But we have to promise not to increase it by $1 for healthcare reform? Sad.” Then, from this week: “Sen Byrd (91) in hospital after he falls from ‘standing up too quickly.” How about term limits. Or retirement age. What makes these tweets significant is that they were written by Raju Narisetti, one of The Post’s top editors. Narisetti said today he now realizes that his tweets, although intended for a private audience of about 90 friends and associates, were unwise. They were “personal” observations, he said. He has closed his Twitter account. In today’s hyper-sensitive political environment, Narisetti’s tweets could be seen as one of The Post’s top editors taking sides on the question of whether a health-care reform plan must be budget neutral.
The guidelines had been in the works for some time. Ethics of social media for journalists | Save the Media. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! A friend, Glenn Coin, has asked me to guest lecture about the ethics of social media for his Utica College journalism class, so I figured I’d blog my lesson plan to save time — and spread the message. I thought the ethics of social media is a timely topic, given the debate over social media rules that has been waging now for months. It began in the spring when first the Dow Jones Co. and then The New York Times issued social media rules. In the meantime, several ethical moments in social media have taken place, and I’ll got through them each later in this post. First, what are ethics?
Merriam-Webster defines ethics as: A set of moral principles : a theory or system of moral values. What about for journalists? For journalists, the definition of ethics gets a lot longer. So are things any different online? Online Journalism Review argues no. I agree with OJR. I say no. First do no harm. 3. Some examples: Brodeur Media Survey. Social Media trends. Social Technographics: Conversationalists get onto the ladder. By Josh Bernoff Two and a half years ago, Charlene Li and I introduced Social Technographics, a way to analyze your market's social technology behavior. Social Technographics was carefully constructed, not as a segmentation, but as a profile (that is, the groups overlap). That's because the actual data told me that people participate in multiple behaviors, and not everyone at a higher level on the ladder actually does everything in the lower rungs.
Well, it worked. Despite the rapid pace of technology adoption, the rungs on the ladder have shown steady growth, with some (like Joiners) growing faster than others (like Creators). We have analyzed data for 13 countries, for business buyers, and even for voters. In all that time, only one thing has been bugging me: there was no place for Twitter. We fixed that today. As you can see from the graphic, we added a new rung, "Conversationalists". Conversationalists intrigue me. 1. 2. 3. How will you use it?

News » Why Does Time Fly By As You Get Older? Yes, we all get older. But now, getting older has become a video fetish; all kinds of people take pictures of themselves every day for six, seven, eight years and then blend the images together into a ... well, if you've missed the Web craze, Homer Simpson's "Every Day" is a perfect catcher-upper. Not only can you see Homer switching jobs (cavalryman, Indian, king, infantryman, fisherman, fireman), you watch his body grow, swell, swag.
As with all things Simpson, the physical changes are dramatic. But what these videos don't show are the psychological changes, and one of the most universal changes is that as humans age, they change the way they feel about time. Faster And Faster And Faster As people get older, "they just have this sense, this feeling that time is going faster than they are," says Warren Meck, a psychology professor at Duke University. This seems to be true across cultures, across time, all over the world. No one is sure where this feeling comes from. Now for the pokes. Prof. The connected versus the not - BankerVision. I’ve found there are two types of people in organisations. Firstly, there are those who are connected and therefore have a bit of a clue what is going on. And secondly, there are those who aren’t, who parrot what they’ve heard from the connected. Although this stratification seems to work across interest-boundaries, it seems most pronounced for technologists.
I suppose that’s because things tend to move so fast in that industry. Anyway, the connected always have a good grasp on the latest trends, the latest thinking, and the latest work going on in their specific area. They get so up to date because they have built networks of like-minded people with whom they are constantly in touch. This network acts like a big net, filtering an ocean of data and providing them with highly targeted, relevant items for absorption. Building such a network is a big time commitment, because you have to contribute to the network as well as suck from it. Central bankers' speeches - BIS - Jan to Mar 2010.
