Regional Media and Web 2.0
Posted by Susanne Fengler in New Media & Web 2.0 on March 6, 2012
Participatory journalism: An engine for journalistic diversity or a marketing instrument for media companies?
Newsrooms around the world are turning to social media in attempts to bolster user participation. Several models have been tested with varying degrees of success and popularity, for example the German tabloid newspaper Bild introduced a “reader reporter” to boost audience involvement, and Britain’s The Guardian launched a campaign urging readers to scan their massive online database to help with an investigation of tax evaders among UK parliamentarians.
The question is whether this new form of “participatory journalism” contributes to journalistic diversity, and whether corporate media attaches importance to it or not. A recent research project conducted by journalism professor Annika Sehl from the Technical University of Dortmund analyzes the Web 2.0 strategies of regional newspapers, indicating that experiments with new formats are often hindered by a lack of resources.

Shrinking World: The decline of international reporting in the British press
A new report published in Media Standards Trust by Martin Moore focuses on the progressive disappearance of international news stories from newspaper pages. Looking at four prominent English papers – the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mirror, and the Daily Mail – Moore analyzes the editions each paper published during the first week of March in 1979, 1989, 1999, and 2009. And the result? In the last thirty years the coverage of international news Read the rest of this entry »
English Papers United Against Murdoch
Posted by Marcello Foa in Ethics & Quality on October 20, 2010
Big Brother is about to step his way into media.
For once, it isn’t Berlusconi. In fact, according to English papers, the concentration of TV channels belonging to Berlusconi is marginal compared to what is about to occur in Great Britain. Rupert Murdoch, the Grand Old Man of news, has created a problem so serious it prompted left and right-leaning newspapers to put aside their political and editorial differences and join together in an effort to stop his expansion.

Guardian creates governmental truth-tracking tool.
Emerging as leaders in “data journalism” and celebrated for launching a sharp bunch of free, simplified analysis tools, The Guardian releases its latest creation: The Pledge Tracker. As Britain’s new coalition government (a Conservative/Liberal Democrat mashup) came to office, a great number of promises were made to the public. Four hundred and thirty-three promises, in fact.
The Guardian‘s pledge tracker, a sortable database of the coalition’s pledges, monitors the promises according to their fulfillment statuses (i.e. “Kept,” “Not Kept,” “In Trouble,” “Wait and See”). Pledges can be sorted by metrics such as party, topic and Read the rest of this entry »
The Deal with the Daily Mail
Posted by Kate Nacy in Media Economics, New Media & Web 2.0 on July 21, 2010
The Daily Mail‘s website is a humongous success. And it’s free.
Let’s skip the pros and cons of the somewhat tired ‘to paywall or not to paywall’ argument for a moment and focus on a website which is quite virtually rolling in the dough: MailOnline, Web version of the UK’s Daily Mail. According to Peter Preston of The Guardian, 1.9 million folks are still buying copies of the print version, while online growth increased from basically nill four years ago to 450,000 unique visitors per month (up 72 percent year by year). Pretty impressive.
Yet a quick visit to the site’s homepage assaults the eyes with celebrity images (LiLo in prison garb, Kate Winslet in Rome, someone called Katie Price who appears to have had a plastic surgery misfire). Addressing critics who don’t believe MailOnline to be a true news site, Preston says, Read the rest of this entry »
