The Worst Jobs of 2013. InShare212 By Kyle Kensing Working as a newspaper reporter was a dream job for Rochelle Gilken, but that changed as the years passed and the industry shifted gears. "The pay left a lot to be desired, and the stress - oh boy! I have two kids, and I have to say that I couldn't balance home and work and be happy due to the stress," says Gilken, who spent six years as a crime reporter for the Palm Beach Post. Of course, low pay and high stress are part of a reporter's job description, but other changes led to Gilken's decision to change industries. Ever-shrinking newsrooms, dwindling budgets and competition from Internet businesses have created very difficult conditions for newspaper reporters, which has been ranked as this year's worst job, according to the CareerCast.com Jobs Rated report.

Consumers can access online news outlets almost anywhere thanks to technological advancements, which are threatening the existence of traditional print newspapers. Door-to-Door Bad Jobs Related Jobs Reporter. Depois da crise nos jornais, chegou a vez da televisão. In Changing News Landscape, Even Television is Vulnerable. Trends in News Consumption: 1991-2012 Overview The transformation of the nation’s news landscape has already taken a heavy toll on print news sources, particularly print newspapers.

But there are now signs that television news – which so far has held onto its audience through the rise of the internet – also is increasingly vulnerable, as it may be losing its hold on the next generation of news consumers. Online and digital news consumption, meanwhile, continues to increase, with many more people now getting news on cell phones, tablets or other mobile platforms. And perhaps the most dramatic change in the news environment has been the rise of social networking sites. The percentage of Americans saying they saw news or news headlines on a social networking site yesterday has doubled – from 9% to 19% – since 2010.

These are among the principal findings of the Pew Research Center’s biennial news consumption survey, which has tracked patterns in news use for nearly two decades. Is This the End of News?, by Michael Wolff: Politics & Power: vanityfair.com. Arianna Huffington, the gadfly and publicity hound, has, at 57, actually succeeded in starting her own online newspaper, the Huffington Post, a kind of left-wing broadsheet competing with the right-wing tabloid Drudge Report (Drudge himself must be getting on in years). Then there is Jeff Jarvis, one of the original bloggers. He is an implacable believer in all things Internet, but, at 53, also no spring chicken. With backing from The New York Times, he’s started a news site called Daylife. Highbeam’s Patrick Spain, with his 50 million news articles, is 55. There are no 20-year-olds; no YouTube kids, Chad Hurley and Steve Chen; no Google guys, Larry Page and Sergey Brin; no Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, talking about news, the news, on the Internet.

And yet, what if? So … I say to Spain, in this new metaphor for news, this floating, this multi-dimensionality, these new information relationships, would it be possible to know what other people think is news? Plus, he was a staff of one. Tec - Depoimento: Criar um caderno de informática foi desafio editorial e comercial - 11/03/2013. O telefone tocou cedo em casa no primeiro dia útil de 1983.

Era Caio Túlio Costa, que se apresentou como secretário de Redação da Folha e disse que o jornal pensava em criar um caderno sobre informática e que gostaria de conversar comigo. Meu nome aparecera em um jantar na casa de Claudio Abramo, quando o assunto veio à tona em uma conversa informal --eu havia trabalhado durante um ano e meio na revista "Dados & Ideias", da "Gazeta Mercantil", até então o único veículo no Brasil a tratar da nova realidade da computação pessoal.

O mercado existia, mas nenhum outro jornal diário cogitara criar um caderno dedicado ao tema. Era um grande desafio editorial e comercial. Não havia jornalistas treinados para a tarefa, e eu tive três meses para encontrar as pessoas, passar a elas as informações que eu tinha e criar pautas que sustentassem uma edição semanal sempre com um mínimo de seis páginas. Ainda, o departamento comercial, da mesma forma, não tinha a mais vaga ideia do que iria enfrentar.

The Web Is Dead. Long Live the Internet | Magazine. Two decades after its birth, the World Wide Web is in decline, as simpler, sleeker services — think apps — are less about the searching and more about the getting. Chris Anderson explains how this new paradigm reflects the inevitable course of capitalism. And Michael Wolff explains why the new breed of media titan is forsaking the Web for more promising (and profitable) pastures. Who’s to Blame: Us As much as we love the open, unfettered Web, we’re abandoning it for simpler, sleeker services that just work. by Chris Anderson You wake up and check your email on your bedside iPad — that’s one app. You’ve spent the day on the Internet — but not on the Web. This is not a trivial distinction. A decade ago, the ascent of the Web browser as the center of the computing world appeared inevitable. But there has always been an alternative path, one that saw the Web as a worthy tool but not the whole toolkit.

“Sure, we’ll always have Web pages. Who’s to Blame: Them Chaos isn’t a business model. No tempo das diligências. É uma cena clichê de faroeste. O xerife irrompe pela porta do saloon e anuncia que os bandidos estão se aproximando da cidade. Ele tem a credibilidade de um Jimmy Stewart. Os fregueses do bar são extras escolhidos para aparentar pouca inteligência. Como o espectador pode duvidar de Jimmy Stewart? Ou Gary Cooper? No faroeste da mídia em evolução há sempre um personagem masculino oferecendo sua testosterona e massa cinzenta para os rebanhos de sofridos atropelados pela mudança tecnológica.

Um artigo publicado pela revista Wired bradou: "A Web Está Morta. Os autores explicam a diferença fundamental entre a Web e a internet. A internet está progressivamente sob o controle de indivíduos e corporações. Sabemos que o Google não é exatamente administrado por personagens sonolentos da Praça da Alegria, a julgar pelo número de anúncios recentes, inclusive na área de telefonia. Novas corporações, como Facebook e a Netflix vão monopolizar nossa atenção e nossos bolsos. A special report on social networking: A world of connections.
