Storify Adds Slideshow Format to Its Social Reporting Tool. The Washington Post, The New York Times and the White House have all used the social reporting tool Storify to drag and drop tweets, posts and other media culled from the social web into neat, embeddable timelines. As of Thursday, they'll be able to post the same social media stories in a slideshow format. Storify, which launched publicly in April, maintains the functions of each social media post included in its timelines, a function it noticed was missing from traditional online slideshows.
"We see a lot of sites use slideshows in general to show tweets and other elements," says Storify co-founder Xavier Damman. "But when they do it that way, they use screenshots, and that’s losing the fact that this is a tweet, you can retweet it, you can reply. " Any of the about 100,000 stories that have been created using Storify can now be viewed as a slideshow by adding "/slideshow" to the end of the URL or choosing "slideshow" from a drop-down menu within the embed option.
Le NYT lance un fil Twitter de breaking news pour les grands événements – NiemanLab. Le Québec veut faire une distinction entre journalistes professionnels et blogueurs amateurs – KnightCenter. In Canada, the Quebec government's proposal to create legislation that would define who is a professional journalist is first going to have to undergo public scrutiny , reported the National Post and TheSuburban.com. Public meetings will be held in 10 cities over six weeks, said The Mark. Noting that the intention of the law would be to "distinguish those dedicated to 'serving the public interest' from 'amateur bloggers,'” a column in the National Post called the proposal "alarming," saying that citizen journalists should be "encouraged, not chilled.
" Further, the article pointed out that the phrase "serving the public interest" was in itself disturbing, potentially deterring journalists from being critical. The Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ) in May convened a committee to study the proposed regulation and the broader issue of professionalization of journalists. The CAJ said it would issue an opinion on the proposal once the committee issues recommendations. Storytelling : the changing game – Adam Westbrook. Traditionally journalism, publishing, film-making, music, photography & broadcasting are one-way processes.
We create some content and a mainstream platform of some kind pumps it out for the masses to consume. They passively receive stories and information, a concept best explained by Peter Horrocks’ End of Fortress Journalism. Attempts to make all this interactive in some way have never got past the “send us your photos” or “you decide!” Appeals from our TV sets. But something extraordinary and unexpected is happening. This is very new. I have, until recently, ignored this trend. Well, my view on this, is shifting a little bit. A few weeks back I discovered Awkward Silence, the website of a UCLAN multimedia student, who goes by the name of Beans.
In One Chance, you become a scientist who’s cure for cancer is threatening to wipe out every living cell on earth.

Curation : les 5 outils indispensables aux journalistes – journalism.co.uk. Home » Event news, Featured Posts One of the sessions at newsrewired – connected journalism will be looking in detail at integrated storytelling, and the array of tools, platforms and techniques available to journalists to pull in content from across the web.
In this post we have collected just five examples of curation tools which can help journalists to integrate their multimedia reporting. Pulling this list together it is hard to believe that all of these five storytelling tools are less than 18 months old. In fact just four months ago Storify (whose co-founder Xavier Damman will be speaking at news:rewired – connected journalism) was in private beta; now it’s a verb heard in newsrooms around the world. So here are five curation tools that all journalists should be aware of: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Comment le NYTimes accélère encore sa couverture live via Twitter - Poynter. After 346 tweets and 22,000 followers in three days, @NYTLive has gone dormant — for now. @NYTLive sent more than 300 tweets, like this one, with the latest updates on Hurricane Irene. The Times’ new Twitter megaphone for in-depth, real-time curation of big news stories got its first test run this weekend for Hurricane Irene.
What did the Times staff learn? “We learned that people wanted a lot of information, fast,” Social Media Editor Liz Heron told me Monday. The people who started to follow the account after it debuted Friday knew they were signing up for a large volume of hurricane-related tweets, so that helped. “We wanted to give people frequent updates,” Heron said, without chasing after “every tiny development and every comment out there.
Why does @NYTLive exist in the first place? The New York Times’ main Twitter account, @nytimes, has 3.6 million Twitter followers. “It’s something we always struggle with on the main @nytimes account,” Heron said. The latest reported updates. Journalisme sportif numérique : les changements qui arrivent - sportjournalism. Sportswriters of this generation have seen quite a few changes to their job description. Digital publishing proved a perfect fit for sports, unleashing a pent-up demand for more sports news, analysis, opinion and chatter. At first, the web was just another outlet for beat writers’ game stories and columnists’ takes. But it soon became a new demand on their time: In addition to gamers for various print editions, writers had to file online and feed blogs, and readers soon came to expect news in close to real time.
At the same time, digital publishing brought new competitors into the mix. Sportswriters were no longer competing just with their peers on the newsstand – now, they were competing with every other publisher with a web presence, including new digital-only outlets. Sportswriters have also been in the vanguard when it comes to adopting Twitter, the microblogging service that’s one of those differences in degree profound enough to become a difference in kind. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Les 7 principes en journalisme du patron de Politico – WIP/Slate. Crédit: AA C’est la rentrée à l’Ecole de journalisme de Sciences Po. Après Jay Rosen, l’année dernière, Bill Nichols, le directeur de la rédaction de Politico, a donné ce jeudi 1er septembre sa leçon inaugurale sur le journalisme politique, version américaine. En évoquant l’expérience de ce site, Politico.com, “qui a un journal, et non l’inverse”, il a listé sept principes, en guise de conseils aux étudiants en journalisme. Les voici. 1. Ne publier que des sujets intéressants Ce premier principe peut paraître évident, et pourtant, assure Bill Nichols, “des articles inintéressants, les journaux américains en publient depuis des décennies, estimant que s’ils les écrivent, c’est que, bien sûr, leurs lecteurs vont les lire”. 2. Bill Nichols n’en revient pas qu’en France, les journalistes d’un même titre soient le plus souvent répartis dans des rédactions différentes en fonction de leur support, avec d’un côté, le Web, et de l’autre, le journal papier. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Croissance des médiax sociaux (infographie) – Searchengineland. UPDATE: We have published a new version of this popular Infographic here -> which covers data up through November 2013. Say what you will about the tidal wave that is social media: it’s over-hyped, a fad halfway through its 15 minutes, that <insert social network, platform, app> surely won’t be around in a few years’ time. But take a look below at the steep curve of the user growth rate in all age ranges and demographics, and the continuing pervasiveness of social networking into every facet of work, play and life in general. It’s hard to argue that social media hasn’t changed forever how we interact and connect online.

A recent report about the "future Internet" by the UK's national innovation agency, Technology Strategy Board, has some illuminating information about the emerging Internet of Things. It suggests that converged services and a brokerage model, amongst other things, will define the future Web. The report is available as a free PDF download, but as it's 59 pages long we'll summarize some key points in this post. The report defines the future Internet as "an evolving convergent Internet of things and services that is available anywhere, anytime as part of an all-pervasive omnipresent socio-economic fabric, made up of converged services, shared data and an advanced wireless and fixed infrastructure linking people and machines to provide advanced services to business and citizens.
" The report goes on to state that "the Internet was initially about communications and then a means of delivering services. Finis les journaux à la table du petit déjeuner ! NiemanLab/NYT. At The New York Times Company’s R&D Lab, the group’s collective of technologists, artists, and journalists talks a lot about “information shadows” — the auras of data that surround us in our daily lives. Tracking and processing the info trails we leave, the thinking goes, allows for deeper insights into ourselves — and it can also help media organizations to provide their users with news consumption experiences as intimate as they are relevant. We tend to emphasize the “self” aspects of “the quantified self“; the R&D Lab is exploring what it means to be a part of a quantified community — and, for the Times, what it means to be a provider of information to that community. I recently had the chance to visit the R&D Lab, which is housed on the 28th floor of the Times building in New York.

Ask most publishers or editors about games, and they’ll tell you their business isn’t about fun and games. It’s about the serious, semi-Constitutional role of informing the public. Game dynamics may change that thinking. When we think of games these days, our minds move to enraged birds or fortune-seeking farmers. Game dynamics isn’t about time-wasting. Silas Lyons is a pioneer among newspaper people in understanding the potential value of game dynamics to the news business. Lyons explained the new notions to readers, in a column, entitled “Civilization comes to Redding.com.”
The goal here isn’t simply to build core customers. The Redding Record Searchlight (circulation of 25,000 on Sunday, 22,500 daily, and more than a half million unique visitors monthly) is an E.W. It is prize- and recognition-based. Etes-vous une société de média ou de technologie? Two Truths Let’s start with two truths. First, publishers need cutting-edge technology to hook an audience through today’s digital media channels of the Web, mobile, social, and search.
And, second, the breakthrough technology can’t just be about product design — it’s got to go beyond to create distribution advantages on the new connected Web. One Question Okay, now that we have the truth out of the way, let me ask you a question: “Is your company a media company, or a technology company?”
I love getting asked this question. And every digital media leader I know hates answering it. Discomfort, Uneasiness, Anxiety, Fear The uneasiness begins with the mistaken idea that the two are separable. And yet, our uneasiness escalates to anxiety when we realize we still don’t fully understand the new technology’s potential or impact on our business. That is a scary thought. Technology Drives Media I think we all need to collectively swallow our fear.
