Several people joined the collaborative reporting project that became Fogo no Barraco (Fire in the Shanty), an interactive map that cross references data on fires with real estate appreciation near the affected areas.

'The role of the journalist in SEO is changing' “The role of the journalist in SEO is changing,” said Eric Olander, former Digital Editor-in-Chief for France 24, an international news network based in Paris.
Today’s digital newsrooms are acutely aware that search engine optimisation (SEO), a term that encompasses a range of tactics for getting web content noticed and listed high up in search results by Google and its competitors, is not a magical gloss that in-house tech experts can merely apply to news articles after they have been written.

Rossel annonce l'abandon du projet de rapprochement avec Hersant. Murdoch considers splitting up News Corporation. News Corporation is considering dividing itself into two, splitting off its publishing arm from its much larger entertainment division, according to a report in the News Corp-owned Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
If Rupert Murdoch brings off the move, it would mean the creation of a publishing business that would comprise News International's papers - The Times, Sunday Times and The Sun - with the WSJ, the New York Post and the book publisher, HarperCollins. The entertainment entity would include the Fox movie studio and television networks that now represent News Corp's strongest and most profitable parts. According to a source cited by the New York Times, the Murdoch family would be likely to retain control of the newly split companies. Such a proposal has been aired in the past, and Murdoch has always rejected it. But the negative effects of the phone-hacking scandal have reopened the door to the notion.

It may not be hiring investigative reporters, but the areas of overlap between what it does and what media companies do is growing, and so is its attractiveness to the advertisers that media entities desperately need to hang onto.
