A manifesto for the simple scribe – my 25 commandments for journalists | Tim Radford | Science | guardian.co.uk
I wrote these 25 commandments as a panic response 15 or more years ago to an invitation to do some media training for a group of Elsevier editors. I began compiling them because I had just asked myself what was the most important thing to remember about writing a story, and the answer came back loud and clear: "To make somebody read it." Ultimately, there's no other reason for writing. Journalists write to support democracy, sustain truth, salute justice, justify expenses, see the world and make a living, but to satisfactorily do any of these things you have to have readers. Fairness and accuracy are of course profoundly important. Without them, you aren't in journalism proper: you are playing some other game.

"Hacks and Hackers," our young organization focused on bringing journalism and technology closer together, seems to have struck a chord. Over the weekend of May 21-23, 80 journalists and technologists in San Francisco participated in the group's first " Hacks/Hackers Unite " gathering, where they developed 12 iPad applications. Meanwhile, our "question-and-answer" site, Help.Hackshackers.com , launched less than two months ago, is becoming a thriving online community for people interested in computer programming for journalism and media applications. Here's the latest sign that Hacks and Hackers is meeting a need: the RSVP list for our first New York City event tomorrow night (June 2).

Fresh eyes: what can journalists learn from a web coder? « Adam Westbrook
What happens when you ask a film maker or a musician about the future of journalism? What skills can the next generation journalist learn from a branding expert? As part of Fresh Eyes experts in non-journalism fields cast their eye over the digital revolution and offer their wisdom. Michelle Minkoff, journalist and web coder
Will journalists of the future need to know how to code? | Media | guardian.co.uk
People say that if you want to become a journalist you have to blog or use Twitter – to show to the world that you have something to say, and that you are desperate to get it out there. Well, that's old news. Now, if you want to become a journalist you need to be able to code. There is a certain logic to this. Up until now, as a journalist you worked with information, researching facts and figures which then you passed on to the reader. However, in a digital world there are more platforms you can use to convey that information – think of maps or mobile applications, augmented reality.A recent post on the journalism.co.uk site asks: How much computer science does a journalist really need? , commenting that whilst coding skills may undoubtedly be useful for journalists, knowing what can be achieved easily in a computational way may be more important, because there are techies around who can do the coding for you… (For another take on this, see Charles Arthur’s If I had one piece of advice to a journalist starting out now, it would be: learn to code , and this response to it: Learning to Think Like A Programmer .) Picking up on a few thoughts that came to mind around a presentation I gave yesterday ( Web Lego And Format Glue, aka Get Yer Mashup On ), here’s a slightly different take on it, based on the idea that programming doesn’t necessarily mean writing arcane computer code.
