@ World Newspaper Congress: Dow Jones CEO: Beware of Geeks Bearing Gifts | paidContent
At the World Newspaper Congress here in Hyderabad this afternoon, Dow Jones (NYSE: NWS) CEO Les Hinton came out swinging against the world in general, as is the wont of every News Corp exec these days. More specifically, against “geeks bearing gifts”, “false gospel of the Web” and “out & out thieves on the Internet.” It is a familiar cry, one spitted out by the overlord and repeated in slightly more eloquent and dulcet tones by the underlings, including Hinton. Read the full speech, below: “I was invited here to talk about the value of journalism.
The National Post: How One Newspaper is Embracing Twitter [Interview] - AllTwitter
The National Post is a large Canadian newspaper that’s embracing social media as an extension of its newsroom. We had the opportunity to chat with Chris Boutet , the Senior Producer of Digital Media at the Post, about how the paper uses Twitter to provide real-time news to its readers, engage with them, and build its brand. Why did the National Post first start using Twitter? We began using Twitter to promote the information-gathering aspect of the National Post. Initially, the idea was just to be on Twitter because that’s where our readers were and that’s where they wanted to get their information, so we started tweeting.You may have noticed — you could hardly miss it — the current blizzard of one-year anniversary stories about the fall of Lehman Brothers , an event that helped spark last fall’s financial meltdown. The coverage mainly reminds me that journalists failed to do their jobs before last fall’s crisis emerged, and have continued to fail since then. It also reminds me of a few pet peeves about the way traditional journalists operate. So here’s a list of 11 things I’d insist on, just for starters, if I ran a news organization. Why 11?

Print is still king: Only 3 percent of newspaper reading actually happens online
Surprise. All generally accepted truths notwithstanding, more than 96 percent of newspaper reading is still done in the print editions, and the online share of the newspaper audience attention is only a bit more than 3 percent. That’s my conclusion after I got out my spreadsheets and calculator out again to check the math behind the assumption that the audience for news has shifted from print to the Web in a big way. This exercise was prompted by recent posts by John Duncan of Inksniffer , in which he argues that “internet metrics substantially exaggerate the importance of the newspaper web audience.” Duncan (who seems to have revived Inksniffer from a long dormancy with a series of math-heavy posts during March), provides calculations supporting his conclusion that in the UK, online sites have only 17 percent of the page impressions delivered by printed newspapers. Let’s examine how this looks in the U.S.
