All the News Fit to Post?

Study compares news content on the Web to radio, television and newspapers.
Published in Journalism and Mass Media Quarterly, Scott Maier’s 18-month study builds on the Project for Excellence in Journalism’s News Coverage Index, which examines U.S. media coverage in real-time. Maier takes a look at 3,900 news stories in order to determine how online news coverage differs from that of legacy media, and what this might mean for journalism’s agenda-setting function. “If news stories found online are essentially the same as news presented in newspapers and electronic media, then the transformation represents little more than a move to an all-digital format of news,” Maier writes. “If news coverage is substantially different, then online news represents not only Read the rest of this entry »
The Little Difference: Print v. Online News
Posted by Stephan Russ-Mohl in New Media & Web 2.0 on May 19, 2010
For the Austrian website Der Standard it was only an April Fool’s joke, but many other quality newspapers proceeded to take the gloves off.
The London Times, owned by Rupert Murdoch, Le Monde and Le Figaro as well as the Axel Springer AG in Germany will try to implement paid online content in Europe within the next few months, and the New York Times announced a similar move in the U.S. As it stands, no one can predict whether this about-turn of the about-turn will be successful. Yet still another issue itches at many: How much information will be accessible for free on news sites, and what can be said about quality if a pay wall should be introduced?
Several clues are offered in a study conducted by Scott Maier of the University of Oregon. Maier analyzed content published by five leading U.S. news websites Read the rest of this entry »

Study analyzes distinction between newspapers and online news.
Hoping to shed light on what newspaper readers stand to lose or gain by moving online, Scott Maier, a researcher and professor of journalism at the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communications, questions the discrepancies in print and online reportage in a new study published in the Newspaper Research Journal.
Analyzing 13,000 news stories from 2007, Maier’s study compares content appearing on five prominent news sites (Yahoo! News, MSNBC.com, CNN.com, Google News and AOL News) with front page content published in 13 daily U.S. newspapers varying in location and circulation size. Read the rest of this entry »
We Apologize for the Error

Neue Zürcher Zeitung, April 17, 2009
Do corrections columns strengthen the news media’s credibility?
A frequent victim of journalistic error, Barack Obama may have set records in name-botching. On his blog RegretTheError.com, media journalist Craig Silverman publishes an annual balance report tallying journalistic blunders. He explains, “The more media attention a person attracts, the more frequently the person is also a victim of media mistakes – that’s the rule.” Silverman reveals – with great pleasure – just how many reporters have run into trouble with Barack Obama’s name over the past year. For example, both CNN and the New York Post are guilty of calling him “Osama.”
