Tool of the week: Facebook Search What is it? A tool that allows you to search Facebook without logging in

An evangelical blogger is spending 12 months following the Bible's instructions for women—and she's doing it for egalitarian reasons
Rachel Held Evans is writing a book about the Bible's rules for women Before Easter this year, Rachel Held Evans camped out for the weekend in a purple tent she had set up in her Tennessee yard. For nine days after this adventure, she abstained from sex and even from touching her husband. She stayed home from church, and toted around a stadium seat cushion to avoid sitting directly on chairs outside her home. Evans' goal was to obey the Bible's commandments for menstruating women in Leviticus Chapters 15 to 18, a passage that takes a lot of shalls and shall nots to make a simple point: Women on their periods are untouchable.Blog-journalistiek verdient erkenning

Zeker nu we een paar massieve VN-veren in onze reet hebben gestoken gekregen, mag de vraag worden gesteld: is dit een journalistiek weblog of maken we ons hier ‘schuldig’ aan een als infaam gekwalificeerde soort ‘burgerjournalistiek’ (whatever that may be)? Of is er wellicht zoiets ontstaan als ‘blog-journalistiek’?

Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, Chicago #10 While i was in Nottingham for the Making Future Work events, i decided to take the bus to Derby and check out All that Fits: The Aesthetics of Journalism at QUAD . The exhibition postulates that art and journalism are two sides of a unique activity; the production and distribution of images and information. Whereas journalism provides a view on the world, as it 'really' is, art often presents a view on the view, as an act of reflection . The first part of the exhibition title, All that Fits , points directly to the New York Times' moto "All the News That's Fit to Print." It asks us to think about what becomes of the information that doesn't fit into the format or the agenda of a media outlet.
