Blogging etiquette gets personal | Media | The Guardian
A discussion that began on a journalist's personal blog has sparked a wider debate on ethics in the age of social media as the lines between journalists' professional work and their personal activities blur. It began when Adam Tinworth, the head of blogging development for Reed Business International, criticised the National Union of Journalists on his blog for still not "getting" social media such as Facebook and Twitter, and for responding defensively to calls to include social media in their training. In a follow-up post, Tinworth noted that an NUJ representative had visited his blog from an email with the subject "effing blogs" ( http://bit.ly/blogs2 ). This turned into an unseemly spat when Chris Wheal, a freelance journalist and the head of the NUJ professional training committee, who had sent the email, criticised Tinworth for not contacting the union first for a comment before publishing his post.Scan This Book!
In several dozen nondescript office buildings around the world, thousands of hourly workers bend over table-top scanners and haul dusty books into high-tech scanning booths. They are assembling the universal library page by page. The dream is an old one: to have in one place all knowledge, past and present.Paper publishing will never be the same again. It is deeply affected by a dual contradictory need. On one hand, real-time updating is pervading the printed page space with various technologies, and on the opposite, the need for something reliable and not dependent on the lack of tcp/ip waves or electricity is more and more precious for a generation stuck for most part of the day close to their unstable laptops. Various disembodiment of paper is practiced on the net and in connected devices, but the immobility (so the reassuring stability) of the printed page is on the other end growing and finding new customized way of production and consumption. Cellulose and electricity are not married, yet, but their vital relationship can still be taken as an opportunity for a new independent pervasive publishing wave.
The Persistence of paper, Alessandro Ludovico

[Here's another in a very occasional series of posts suggesting how to change newspapers, all tagged and headlined "NewNews." Prior posts addressed the need to inspire an imperative for change and suggested turning the newsroom into a classroom to recast journalists' relationships with the public. In this post, I'll look at what newspapers do not need to be; in a future post, we will look at what they do need to be.] Newspapers waste too much money on ego, habit, and commodity news the public already knows.A l'occasion de la 4e édition du Bookcamp qui se déroulait au Labo de l'édition à Paris, samedi 24 septembre, retour sur l'un des ateliers proposé par Abeline Majorel l'infatigable lectrice de Chroniques de la rentrée littéraire , sur le thème de l'organisation du circuit de correction à l'heure du numérique. Comment ce circuit s'organise-t-il dans l'édition traditionnelle et dans le numérique ? Les techniques des uns et des autres peuvent-ils aider à optimiser une meilleure "correction permanente" ? Comment récupérer les corrections des lecteurs et les traiter ? Le Comité de lecture est une association de lecteurs bénévoles qui produit pour chaque lecture acceptée un retour de lecture argumenté, pointant les incohérences, les fautes, offrant une appréciation de lecture argumentée, mais bienveillante.
