The new commentariat: "social media lets us pretend we're not wallowing in low culture."

CNN.com is, more than anyone I think, prepping aggressively for the TV/web convergence. They've had an explosion of video views after their homepage redesign.

STATS!

Al Shaw, brilliant monster code journo.

What's the real goal of non-profit journalism? Read the comments for a fun back and forth w/ Jack Shafer from Slate and Jay Rosen.

The debate over RSS is interesting, but as someone who's studied it and discussed it with the founders of the major RSS management companies, I can tell you that no one really knows the right answer. It's all guess work.

Interesting, ABC considering a paywall. That seems…. silly.

I am gonna read the shit out of this. New academic study from Eric Lawrence, John Sides, and Henry Farrell.

Maybe wishful thinking, but there's truth to the idea that the different mode of consumption could mentally prepare people to be more interested in long form.

Breitbart is the dark side of the new media system incarnate. What Glenn Beck is for television Breitbart is for the web: the embodiment of all of the destructive incentives of the medium.

Great post on the need for explainers.

Big believer in asynchronous virtual offices.

Cable news has a huge influence over politics even though only about 10 people watch it.

This would be awesome.

Zuckerman points to research that says there are 583 versions of each story on the internet every day. Nutty.

They keep building.

Wow, that's an expansion view of copyright violation if I ever heard it.

These are great.

This is great web management. Launched a great new site, accepted public criticism of a serious flaw, fixed it quickly and explained themselves. Impressive.

Interesting.

Woo!

The react to a side mention in a NYTS story got blown out of proportion, so the NYTs is calming it down.

Wow, this brutal post from Andrew Sullivan on the Atlantic's redesign sure does prove that the relationship between top talent and their publishers has been changed forever by the personal blog.

There ya go.

iPad sure is turning into where the magazine biz thinks it can't erase a decade of being behind the times.

Wow, Newsweek lost 28 million dollars last year.

Sad
