Multitasking:This is your Brain on Media

Multitasking:This is your Brain on Media

Le journalisme « hacker » À New York, Chicago, Londres, Helsinki ou Buenos Aires, plusieurs centaines de personnes se rencontrent régulièrement, souvent dans des arrières salles de bars ou des salles de conférences [1]. Ils sont étudiants, journalistes, programmeurs ou chefs de projet web, et ils appellent ces réunions informelles des rencontres « hacks/hackers ». « Hacks » est une façon de dénommer les journalistes tandis que « hackers » désigne des passionnés d’informatique. À travers la présentation d’applications informatiques développées pour des sites d’information, la formation à des langages de programmation ou plus simplement la mise en relation de journalistes et de programmeurs, les animateurs de ce réseau veulent relier le monde de la presse aux mondes informatiques de façon à transformer et même « réinitialiser » le journalisme. Les liens entre la presse et les mondes informatiques se sont incontestablement développés ces dernières années. Pourquoi des codeurs s’intéressent-ils à la presse ?

The worsening journalistic disgrace at Wired - Glenn Greenwald For more than six months, Wired‘s Senior Editor Kevin Poulsen has possessed — but refuses to publish — the key evidence in one of the year’s most significant political stories: the arrest of U.S. Army PFC Bradley Manning for allegedly acting as WikiLeaks’ source. In late May, Adrian Lamo — at the same time he was working with the FBI as a government informant against Manning — gave Poulsen what he purported to be the full chat logs between Manning and Lamo in which the Army Private allegedly confessed to having been the source for the various cables, documents and video that WikiLeaks released throughout this year. In interviews with me in June, both Poulsen and Lamo confirmed that Lamo placed no substantive restrictions on Poulsen with regard to the chat logs: Wired was and remains free to publish the logs in their entirety. Despite that, on June 10, Wired published what it said was only “about 25 percent” of those logs, excerpts that it hand-picked. Mr. A former top U.S.

Op-Ed at 40 - Interactive Feature Illustrations by CHRISTOPH NIEMANN An Introduction By THE EDITORS On Sept. 21, 1970, readers who turned to the last inside page of The Times's main section found something new. And so here we are. Here is some of what the outside world has had to say. Smartphones, Tablets Change How We Use Social What did you do this morning after your alarm went off - other than hit the snooze button? If you've got a smartphone, a new study says, there's about a one-in-three chance that you switched on your phone and loaded up an app. And if you're in that group, chances are also pretty good that you checked Twitter, Facebook or some other social networking app; 18 percent of those users, for example, logged onto Facebook before they got out from under the covers. While it's kind of a silly statistic (and, if you're a diehard Facebooker, maybe an obvious one), there are a few key points to take from the study, which was commissioned by Ericsson Consumer Labs (yes, as in "Sony Ericsson," the phone manufacturer - you can download the PDF here). One vital thing to note is something that isn't even in the survey at all: It ignores how much we use our smartphones as, well, phones, compared to the myriad other things we do with these little magic bricks we keep in our pockets and purses.

Does journalism exist? Thank you for inviting me to give this lecture in honour of the memory of Hugh Cudlipp. Ask any British journalist who were their editor-heroes over the last 30 or 40 years and two names keep recurring. One is Harry Evans. Why were they so admired? It is wonderful that Jodi Cudlipp is here tonight, though I hope she will not misunderstand me when I say a tiny part of me is quite glad Lord Cudlipp is not here in person. He once wrote: "The robust tabloids flashed the Green Light, were promptly denounced by other newspapers for their gaucherie or vulgarity or lèse majesté, and then were echoed by the very newspapers who had so severely upbraided them for their frankness." He quoted Kingsley Martin, former editor of the New Statesman: "The Mirror says openly only what the readers of the News Chronicle and the Guardian say behind their hands." So I don't think Cudlipp would necessarily have enjoyed sitting through a lecture by the editor of the Guardian. Of course, you know why people ask.

iPads, Print-on-Demand Slowly Transform Magazines in 2010 This revolution is going to take its time. It’s been a year of high expectations but little fulfillment for those who thought 2010 might forever change the way we read magazines. We’ve seen that disappointing uses of new tools, limited audience interest, and small initial financial returns are going to result in a gradual shift, not a sudden transformation. The iPad certainly hasn’t made print magazines extinct, and in fact some of the early iPad efforts may even have discouraged readers a bit. Other developments in the magazine world — such as the Cooks Source incident and the growing power of social media — also suggest still more challenges and opportunities in the year to come. The Challenges of Innovation for the iPad The number of print magazines stayed steady in 2010, with 193 launches and 176 closures — a great improvement over 2009’s remarkable 596 casualties, as reported by Folio. The home page of the Project magazine app allows users to select which edition to purchase Related

7 success secrets of Huffington If you look closely at some of the top blogs in the world that have emerged over the last 5 years it is interesting to see what has made them so successful so I thought I would look at what has made Huffington Post the success that it is today. Huffington Post is a blog that was started by Arianna Huffington as a left- leaning blog and now has 20 vertical areas including religion to technology and it is about to add travel.

Some of the numbers for Huffington Post to provide some perspective from its entry 5 years ago to its current success.

Le Datajournalisme notre religion Depuis la fin des années 90, les expériences concluantes de Data-journalism représentent une nouvelle jeunesse pour les métiers de la presse, longtemps dominée par les règles de la presse d'opinion. En voici les principes fondateurs. Que défend OWNI. À l’opposé des intentions de la presse d’opinion, celle qui dicte une manière de penser le monde, une nouvelle presse émerge, désireuse de transmettre toutes les données susceptibles de lire le monde différemment, de nourrir toutes les pensées critiques, sans tenter d’en imposer une. Pour cette presse-là, le journalisme de données (ou Data Journalism à l’anglo-saxonne) s’apparente à une nouvelle profession de foi. Pirhoo est l’un de ces apôtres. Ce texte représente un retour d’expérience sur les caractéristiques très précises du Data Journalism, ou journalisme de données. 1. On le sait, par nature, développer nécessite d’être curieux : il faut en permanence recycler ses techniques et ses connaissances. 2. 3. 4. 5. Le support change, oui.

[Infographie Médias] Qui consomme quoi et quand? Cette infographie réalisée par l’équipe de MBAOnline.com, détaille la consommation des médias par tranches d’âges et par tranches horaires. En tout, 5 générations ont été étudiées et 15 activités, connectées ou non, ont été matérialisées par différents pictogrammes. Le résultat est intéressant, on apprend par exemple que: Au réveil les 18-29 ans se partagent entre l’écoute d’information à la radio et la consultation des news sur Facebook.Tandis que les plus jeunes préfèrent, eux, écouter de la musique sur leur baladeur.La generation X et les Baby Boomers se dirigent pour leur part majoritairement vers la radio.Sans surprise, de 20h à 23H la télé reste le média le plus consommé.
