Hey, journalists! Stop getting all huffy about the Huffington Post's "lifting" of stories. - Slate Magazine

shiwani — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 17:04:27 GMT

If she made links to the journalists' work more prominent (like linking the headline), there probably wouldn't be an issue.... well, maybe if you're being paid per page view.

Quoted: Pinch any journalist (print, Web, or broadcast) who creates what he considers original copy, and he's likely to regale you with the stories of how his publication's product has been stolen or otherwise misappropriated by a Web site. More often than not, the wronged will point his finger at the Huffington Post, the self-styled "Internet newspaper" launched by Arianna Huffington in 2005.

The Media Equation - Mourning Old Media’s Decline - NYTimes.com

shiwani — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 15:27:43 GMT

Sad... apparently Gannett just laid off 10% of its workers (about 3,000 people) and Time Inc. is cutting 600 jobs. Not to mention book publishers, who are downsizing left and right.

Quoted: The paradox is that the print media do not have an audience problem, but a consumer problem.

Above the Law - Covering the Court: Thoughts from Dahlia Lithwick

drew_s — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 23:37:09 GMT

No mention of Nina Totenberg. They're probably bitter rivals. Quite a few interesting observations here, though.

Quoted: One area where [journalists] can add value is by providing analysis and context, given the knowledge SCOTUS correspondents acquire about the Court as an institution and the personalities who fill the bench. Of course, more "news analysis" raises the classic tension between reporting and opinion in coverage of the Court.
