My desktop is getting overwhelmed by bloggable (and primarily journalism-related) links, so it’s time to clean it up:
- In the wake of the RCMP raid on Juliet O’Neill, a new information site on press freedom launches.
- UBC School of Journalism’s Thunderbird Media Review’s Web site has redesigned with its latest issue.
- Probably the best media reporter in the business, Ken Auletta, is profiled at CBS MarketWatch.
- Contrasting the schadenfreude surrounding newspaper publisher Conrad Black is the love-in for Toronto Star’s publisher John Honderich (and yesterday’s spontaneous strike for BBC head Greg Dyke).
- The Star’s ombudsman explains the dark art of creating a printable quote from a spoken one.
- CyberJournalist.net profiles New York Times’ “multimedia reporter” even as the Gr
aey Lady reveals how technology has changed the way journalists are covering the U.S. election. - Technology may soon be changing the way we read newspapers: Philips , with E-Ink, has developed a consumer-friendly display panel that “can show detailed images, can be rolled up into a pen-sized holder.”
- David Akin explains how Canadian law students are getting ready to defend against lawsuits from the recording industry through
Can-FLI Network .
