Executive summary • The live blog is a relatively new, web-native format that has special possibilities for creating journalism. It is an example of networked journalism that puts an emphasis on aggregated material from different sources such as social media and user- generated content. • Live blogs are usually heavily dependent on other mainstream media as well as social media to function. • News consumers appreciate the format of the live blog. They sometimes prefer it over other formats such as a conventional news articles and sometimes consume types of content they would not normally have chosen because it is presented in a live blog. • The use of live blogs has sparked conflict and debate, mainly because of the speed at which they are written and how this leads to publishing unconfirmed information which has occasionally put people at risk of harm. • Live blogs change the way journalists work: they have more (or less) to do, they use a different tone of voice and they might not always be able to verify the information that they share. Reporters take on a new role, that sometimes might resemble that of an editor, curator or moderator. • Verifying facts in real time is one of the biggest journalistic challenges when working with live blogs. Other challenges include the live blog taking up a lot of resources and keeping the narrative structure clear. • Live blogs can be used as a way of engaging with readers, making it easier for the newspaper to receive useful user generated content. • Live blogs might change how media companies act towards news consumers and increase the level of engagement with readers. • Live blogs open up the journalistic process to readers, so transferring some of the journalistic responsibility towards them. Live blogs change the way the reader consumes the news – the reader has to act like an editor. • The live blog is an evolving format that we will see more of in the future. 1 Preface By Charlie Beckett, Polis, LSE All the talk is of a crisis in the news We hope this report will help anyone media, but we sometimes forget that involved in live blogging. We think digital technologies can give us better it will help newsrooms shape their journalism, too. A great example of this tactics or strategy for live blogging. is live blogging. Everything from football We welcome any thoughts you have matches to parliamentary debates are now on this or associated issues. routinely covered by a range of live blogs. We are grateful to Journalistfonden for In a 2010 Polis report on networked funding this annual Newsroom Fellowship journalism we hailed it as ‘the new front at LSE and we welcome other proposals to page’ and for some readers this is now the support similar research. I am also grateful most visible part of their online newspaper. to the interns who helped on this project It is the bit where traditional journalism is and all the academics and journalists who transformed into a mixture of broadcasting gave their time to be part of the research. and instant storytelling.

It can draw material from social media or direct sources. It can cite learned academics, rival reporters or citizen’s emails. It’s fast- moving, interactive and very accessible. Yet it is not easy to do well. How to verify facts in the heat of the battle? How do you paint a balanced picture of an event that is still unfolding? This report by a working online journalist asks whether live blogs are good for journalism. It looks in particular at two newspapers who have pioneered the format in two countries. It looks at a couple of contentious news stories in more detail. It sets out the key opportunities and challenges facing anyone who is live blogging and suggests that this format is going to develop in the future. Live blogging takes a combination of old and new skills. It uses different resources and it poses fresh ethical and editorial challenges. But I would argue that it gives more depth and breadth to instant journalism. Journalists are better for doing it and the reader likes them. Live blogging is just one of many inspiring new formats for online journalism, but it will remain central to the offering of any news brand that wants to be fast, alive but also adding value. “It’s fast-moving, interactive and very accessible.” 2 2.

  • Blogs: What Are They??
    BLOGS: WHAT ARE THEY?? Blogs are a contemporary form of journalism. To answer the title question, we may build our reply using several of the questions journalists are trained to address. When did blogs appear on the scene? The term blog has its earliest direct roots in on-line diaries which appeared in 1994 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_blogging). It was not until 1997 that the term “weblog” was coined to describe this form of communication; by 1999, it finally morphed into simply blog. In 2004, Meriam-Webster cataloged the word blog as a legitimate dictionary denizen. Ian Ring is credited with being the inventor (or parent) of the blog in 1997. As noted above, in its earliest years the blog appeared primarily as an on line diary or serial of the life and times of its author(s). Today’s blogs are adolescents in linguistic terms and they have outgrown all of their early childhood clothing to take on a host of very different appearances. An early Ted Talk includes commentary on the young years of blogging. Mena Trott in 2006 recounts some of her early experiences with blogging she began in 2001 ( https:// www.ted.com/talks/mena_trott_tours_her_blog_world ). Now, some 10 years after this Ted Talk, blogs have undergone explosive growth in both content and numbers, achieving a stature only dimly envisioned by their parents. We now encounter blog as just one of a whole host of terms building upon it including blogger, blogging, liveblogging, photoblog, microblog, moblog and a host of others. What purposes can blogs serve? Want to inform, teach, convince, amuse, sway, share, sell, defend, support or refute something? • Long and short of it – blogs are contemporary forms of journalism in the broadest sense of the art.

  • Facebook's Newsfeed Changes
    LSE Business Review: Facebook’s newsfeed changes: a disaster or an opportunity for news publishers? Page 1 of 6 Facebook’s newsfeed changes: a disaster or an opportunity for news publishers? Social media and digital executives in newsrooms already have a tough job connecting their content to consumers via social media, but Facebook’s proposed changes in the algorithms of its ‘newsfeed’ are going to make it a lot harder. Social networks offer immense opportunities for reaching vast new audiences and increasing the engagement of users with journalism. The most important platform in the world is about to make that more difficult. Clearly, this is a blow for news publishers who have spent the last decade or so fighting a battle for survival in a world where people’s attention and advertising have shifted to other forms of content and away from news media brand’s own sites. They are clearly very concerned. Yet, could this be a wake-up call that will mean the better, most adaptive news brands benefit? The Atlantic’s Franklin Foer even argues that this is a good thing that could be the move that ends news media’s dependency on advertising and platforms like Facebook: “Facebook has just done media the biggest favor of them all. It has forced media to face the fact that digital advertising and ever-growing web traffic will never sustain the industry, especially if that traffic comes from monopolies like Facebook hoping to claim the entirety of digital advertising dollars for themselves.” I’m not going to argue that this is great news for news publishers, but blind panic or cynical abuse of Facebook is not a sufficient response.

  • Communities of Blogging: Extensions of Our Identities Ellen Taricani
    American Communication Journal Vol. 9, No. 3, Fall 2007 Communities of Blogging: Extensions of Our Identities Ellen Taricani Keywords: blogging, identity, social networking Writing through a blog is a way of extending ourselves in a virtual world. Our identity is formed and molded as we unveil our thoughts and have others offer comments and feedback. The online environment has a direct impact in creating active social interactions to assist in defining our identity. Most blogs are a personal journal type of entry that deals with the personal experiences and reflections. Our concept of ourself is derived from a perceived membership in a particular blog through the deeper connectivity of the dialog. Most bloggers are under 30 and influenced by the postmodern philosophies. Some of these are discussed and parallels are made to bring more understanding of this fascination with the public broadcast of thoughts and feelings. ________________________________________________________________________ Dr. Ellen Taricani is a Lecturer in the Dept. of Communication Arts and Sciences at Penn State University. Correspondence to: Dept. of Communication Arts and Sciences, Penn State University 227 Sparks Building, University Park, PA 16802. Email: [email protected] Paper presented at the American Communication Conference annual meeting, Taos, New Mexico, Oct. 3-7, 2007 Blogging is a popular social and cultural collection of thought and communication. It consists of a presence that is an expression of who we are, our identity. Culture attempts to adopt this technology across dimensions of life, such as personal and professional life. Dertouzos (1997) described it as a world of human-centric computing that will insinuate the lives of individuals in societies that have learned to accept technology.

  • Alice Birdwatching: a Community Built Knowledge Base for Birdwatchers
    FACULDADE DE ENGENHARIA DA UNIVERSIDADE DO PORTO Alice Birdwatching: a community built knowledge base for birdwatchers João Pedro Lago Master in Informatics and Computing Engineering Supervisor: Teresa Galvão Dias (PhD) 26th June, 2010 Alice Birdwatching: a community built knowledge base for birdwatchers João Pedro Lago Master in Informatics and Computing Engineering Approved in oral examination by the committee: Chair: Jorge Manuel Gomes Barbosa (PhD) External Examiner: Rui João Peixoto José (PhD) Supervisor: Maria Teresa Galvão Dias (PhD) 31st July, 2010 Abstract Drawing on the reasons for the origins of the Internet, the web 2.0 phenomenon in the latter decade has enabled Internet users to become not only consumers but also producers of information, something that most of them didn’t let pass. The success of User Generated Content (UGC) sites like Wikipedia has inspired the expansion of the principle to other, more specific contexts. Similarly, there has been an explosion in the abilities of mobile devices, which have also started contributing to this content frenzy with different types of data, such as geographically referenced content. This document describes the conception and development a project, Alice Birdwatch- ing, that aims at creating an online community for content generation in the context of birdwatching. This application will allow birdwatcher to generate content about their fa- vorite hobby (sometimes taken very seriously) in an easy and comfortable way, such as it was not available on the web as of the writing of this paper. The application will also take advantage of mobile technologies, both to help generate content and to help bird watchers on the field, where a computer would be a liability.

Legacy publishers, as well as digital-native outlets and aggrega- tors, are beginning to adapt to this new news landscape, in part by drawing newfound value from archival stories and reusing older works. However, this trend's potential remains limited by technical challenges and institutional inertia.

  • Richard Jones, Senior Lecturer in Journalism, University of Huddersfield—Written Evidence (FOJ0017)
    Richard Jones, Senior Lecturer in Journalism, University of Huddersfield—written evidence (FOJ0017) Select Committee on Communications and Digital: inquiry into the future of journalism I’m pleased to be able to send this response to the committee following the call for evidence on the future of journalism. I’m a senior lecturer in Journalism at the University of Huddersfield and have been researching court reporting in the local media as part of a PhD I have been undertaking at Cardiff University. My response here features material I have drawn from that research. Generally speaking, it addresses the questions of the value to society of journalism, and the ways in which digital technologies have changed the practice of journalism, with a focus on the reporting of courts in the UK. This submission will briefly summarise some of the findings of the research, then include a series of recommendations for how coverage of the courts might be maintained and enhanced. Local journalism has long been described as being in crisis (Rouger 2008, Moore 2015, Cawley 2017, Wadbring & Bergstrom 2017). In the UK, local newspapers have experienced years of declining circulations and staff cuts (Mediatique 2018), leading to questions about how effectively those institutions can continue to perform elemental normative functions of journalism, even as they remain central to the news diet of consumers (Gulyas, O’Hara & Eilenberg 2018). One of those is to report on the courts, a role traditionally undertaken by specialist reporters working on the courts beat. The courts have long served as one of the key sources of stories in local newspapers (Franklin & Murphy 1991, O’Neill & O’Connor 2008).

No use is permitted which will infringe on the copyright without the express written consent of the Kansas Bar Association. ISBN 1-890452-31-9 Preface The mission of the Kansas Bar Association’s Media-Bar Committee is to act “as a liaison between the bar, the bench, and the news media.” The Committee seeks to facilitate “a continuing exchange of views; providing a ready forum to provide education and to consider mutual problems if they arise; and recommends actions to address these issues.” The Committee’s efforts to fulfill its mission include creation of this Media Guide for Attorneys and Judges. To aid members of the bench and bar in understanding the media, the Guide describes the nature of news. It also describes the purposes and methods of the media. In addition, the Guide includes accounts of laws that affect relationships among journalists, lawyers and judges. The Guide includes a chapter about the Kansas Open Records and Open Meetings acts and provides accounts of the Sunshine Laws in a question-and-answer format. A chapter on public access to Kansas court proceedings and records addresses such topics as statutory amendments in 2014 that, for the first time in 35 years, gave the media and the public access to probable cause affidavits filed in support of arrest and search warrants. Other topics range from procedures for objecting to closure of proceedings and records to the Kansas Supreme Court’s rule on news media coverage of courts.
