There is a dinner cruise boat, another moored restaurant ship, an outdoor ice skating rink and concert venue, and several historical vessels maintained by the Philadelphia Seaport Museum. Developers have tried and failed several times to make the area more accessible to pedestrian tourist traffic. The Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and other attractions are not so far away but getting to the river calls for crossing over eight lanes of I-95 by one of several overpasses, which can leave adventurers feeling vulnerable to hot or cold weather - or worse. One evenings like last night, however, it's worth every effort.</p><p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a href="http://getfile7.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/jimmacmillan/wnjkZ0z1jyN4slC9qDCPseEwdjRkoGuDiCJSlnTCDscc4lyBszrr6GOcz7Nf/2.jpg"><img alt="2" height="378" src="http://getfile8.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/jimmacmillan/NcH7Lrj9FxbtUJeKKC8o08sLhyQduq5BHW8A7G144TGkVCCa7kDEIt2cxIjD/2.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://getfile2.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/jimmacmillan/QDRZzvbs0ClKhpVruBGTraKPj09NJMvQ5nJWHdoKJ83MmbG5CGAkgeLjN0hx/3.jpg"><img alt="3" height="356" src="http://getfile3.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/jimmacmillan/lhRFAdLE92uQAvhsSm3Y4OcFsg5wcbuSDmwtMmI5XieKU7LxfzLF8PxdCAIv/3.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://getfile7.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/jimmacmillan/ypbnwaY7LaBCrNupklc14qywIJ44yK7ulyyyeM7ZCOy0eRUte4qjPdNA0tjn/4.jpg"><img alt="4" height="350" src="http://getfile8.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/jimmacmillan/hZmv3GtcOAh2grX2MRiqvfxcyQHjeAPPoxztz1NH6tQShHPL2ODQURnFJUd9/4.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://getfile2.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/jimmacmillan/jeO9jSZnDfwuclgg9GfBrnZuicYwHd8qMD9d9GxfL9TI2PJLY0YzYhVmoN2j/6.jpg"><img alt="6" height="288" src="http://getfile3.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/jimmacmillan/nqzImpuwB7kMZHnKn0gnW8BESbg6eOrtcZoJrDLwkgUXxRHGoIO560z7oFxn/6.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <div class='p_see_full_gallery'><a href="http://jimmacmillan.posterous.com/dusk-on-the-delaware">See the full gallery on Posterous</a></div> </div> </p><p>All photos © Jim MacMillan: <a href="mailto:jim@jimmacmillan.com">jim@jimmacmillan.com</a> • <a href="http://jimmacmillan.net/" target="blank">Blog</a> • <a href="http://twitter.com/jimmacmillan" target="blank">Twitter</a> • <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jimmacmillan" target="blank">Facebook</a> • <a href="https://plus.google.com/115670438607912239817/posts?rel=author" rel="author" target="blank">Google+</a> • <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmacmillan" target="blank">Linkedin</a> • <a href="skype:jrmacmillan?call">Skype</a> • <a href="aim:GoIM?ScreenName=jamesrmacmillan">AOL IM</a> • Mobile 215.882.4765 • <a href="mailto:2158824765@txt.att.net">SMS</a></p> </p> <p><a href="http://jimmacmillan.posterous.com/dusk-on-the-delaware">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://jimmacmillan.posterous.com/dusk-on-the-delaware#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xZcNwrJwO9tEKjpcs5xSPJS3kdc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xZcNwrJwO9tEKjpcs5xSPJS3kdc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xZcNwrJwO9tEKjpcs5xSPJS3kdc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xZcNwrJwO9tEKjpcs5xSPJS3kdc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/JimMacmillanAtPosterous/~4/L_OQabBqjJQ" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/307100/jim09.jpg http://posterous.com/users/37qUsUK6PorL Jim MacMillan jimmacmillan Jim MacMillan http://jimmacmillan.posterous.com/dusk-on-the-delaware Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:00:59 -0800 Crime scene http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JimMacmillanAtPosterous/~3/HlKOKrpdosQ/crime-scene http://jimmacmillan.posterous.com/crime-scene <p> <div class='p_embed p_video_embed'> <a href="http://jimmacmillan.posterous.com/crime-scene"><img alt="" src="http://getfile9.posterous.com/getfile/video.posterous.com/jimmacmillan/rso3dr432pezjT9uVhcYJqLKpv9FhVMeWyKTnLS5P48t1yk9eDwllXzAdn62/frame_0000.png" /></a> <div class='p_embed_description'> <strong>IMG_5161.MOV</strong> <a href="http://jimmacmillan.posterous.com/crime-scene">Watch on Posterous</a> </div> </div> <p>I'm at a shooting scene in North Philadelphia, doing some research for a possible documentary.

change in journalism keeps accelerating so dramatically that I find less and less course content that I can retain without updating every semester.</div><p /><div style="">After planning my new course on <a href="http://blogs.swarthmore.edu/academics/2011/04/06/peace-and-conflict-journalism/">Peace and Conflict Journalism</a> last spring and summer, racing through fall with the students, through the haze of final project and exams -- and the void of a holiday break -- I am now trying to rapidly synthesize my syllabus with some of the most recent developments across the industry and institutions of journalism.</div><p /><div style="">To begin, the state of the old industry doesn't look good, with a new report from USC Annenberg <a href="http://annenberg.usc.edu/News%20and%20Events/News/111214CDF.aspx">predicting that most newspapers will be gone in five years</a> and a leading newspaper analyst concurring that print advertising is in a <a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/268514/20111216/janet-robinson-quits-new-york-times-ceo.htm">death spiral</a>. </div><p /><div style="">(To be fair, I should point out that <a href="http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=newspaper+%22death+spiral%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8">I just Googled "newspaper death spiral"</a> to find the above article -- which I read last month -- but other results led me to predictions going back to 2007.)</div><p /><div style="">Back in October, the Knight Foundation examined "<a href="http://www.knightfoundation.org/publications/getting-local-how-nonprofit-news-ventures-seek-sus">How Nonprofit News Ventures Seek Sustainability</a>" -- with a rich and comprehensive report examining many of the leading projects launched in recent years.</div><p /><div style="">Next, A Columbia Journalism Review article took note of another impediment in "<a href="http://www.cjr.org/the_audit/nonprofit_news_and_the_tax_man.php">Nonprofit News and the Taxman: The IRS questions whether journalism startups qualify for tax-exempt status</a>."</div><p /><div style="">Later, Tom Stites at the Nieman Journalism Lab published "<a href="http://www.niemanlab.org/2011/12/tom-stites-taking-stock-of-the-state-of-web-journalism/">Taking Stock of the State of Web Journalism</a>," arguing in Part I that "we're still a long way from a sustainable model" and reminding us of the previous <a href="http://www.knightcomm.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Informing_Communities_Sustaining_Democracy_in_the_Digital_Age.pdf">Knight Commission "Informing Communities" report</a> which praised "lots of interesting efforts but found no business models that are both self-sustaining and replicable from community to community."</div><p /><div style="">On the bright side, yesterday's <a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-ca-patonprofile-20120115,0,1916752.story">LA Times profile of Digital First Media CEO John Paton</a> pointed out that their Pennsylvania-based Journal Register chain "has increased digital revenue from $6 million to over $32 million over two years."</div><p /><div style="">Meanwhile, Digital First's Steve Buttry literally wrote the book on "digital-first" journalism in <a href="http://stevebuttry.wordpress.com/2011/12/29/2011-on-my-blog-digital-first-twitter-branding-tbd-and-other-themes/">a series of blog posts</a> near the end of 2011, which he soon  -- and generously -- made available <a href="http://www.scribd.com/document_downloads/76648282?extension=pdf">as a downloadable PDF</a>.</div><p /><div style="">More recently, hyperlocal journalism pioneer Howard Owens updated his popular 2007 post with a new version called "<a

Concerns with engagement, transparency, and redefining objectivity endure -- but with a little more clarity now.</div><p /><div style="">In December, CJR's Dean Starkman penned a <a href="http://www.cjr.org/essay/confidence_game.php?page=all">smack-down of what he called the "future-of-news (FON) consensus" </a>among popular digital news gurus -- but <a href="http://www.cjr.org/the_news_frontier/debating_starkmans_confidence.php?page=all">the blowback</a> got a lot more traction. <a href="http://www.shirky.com/weblog/2011/12/institutions-confidence-and-the-news-crisis/">Clay Shirky responded</a> directly and <a href="http://www.cjr.org/the_audit/the_hole_in_fon_theory.php?page=all">Starkman followed up</a>.</div><p /><div style="">At the very least, Starkman had written an outstanding primer on the status quo and led me to set up a feed folder just for <a href="http://www.buzzmachine.com/">Jarvis</a>, <a href="http://jxpaton.wordpress.com/">Paton</a>  <a href="http://pressthink.org/">Rosen</a> and <a href="http://www.shirky.com/weblog/">Shirky</a>. </div><p /><div style="">Fact-checking got the spotlight when <a href="http://Politifact.com">Politifact.com</a>'s disputed "<a href="http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2011/dec/20/lie-year-democrats-claims-republicans-voted-end-me/">Lie of the Year 2011</a>" met the <a href="http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/20/politifact-r-i-p/">wrath of Krugman</a> and <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2011/dec/20/news/la-heb-politifact-lie-ending-medicare-20111220">more</a>.</div><p /><div style="">More recently, New York Times public editor Arthur S. Brisbane ignited a firestorm with a short post asking" "<a href="http://publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/12/should-the-times-be-a-truth-vigilante/">Should the Times be a Truth Vigilante</a>," -- in a way that is objective and fair. <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2012/jan/13/new-york-times-public-editor">Shirky summed up </a>the situation and the fallout for the Guardian.</div><p /><div style="">Yesterday on CNN's Reliable Sources, Howard Kurtz briefly brought up journalists as referees and pointed to "<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker">The Fact Checker</a>" blog at the Washington Post -- which measures untruths in "Pinocchios."</div><p /><div style="">Next, <a href="http://www.niemanlab.org/2012/01/craig-newmark-fact-checking-should-be-part-of-how-news-organizations-earn-trust/">Craig Newmark jumped in</a> to advocate for fact-checking with a nice roundup of resources and recent articles.</div><p /><div style="">Closing out my roundup, I can't ignore GigaOm's "<a href="http://gigaom.com/2011/12/21/news-as-a-process-how-journalism-works-in-the-age-of-twitter/">News as Process: How Journalism Works in the Age of Twitter</a>" or "<a href="http://gigaom.com/2012/01/11/nick-kristof-on-occupy-and-the-rise-of-citizen-journalism/">Nick Kristof on Occupy and the Rise of Citizen Journalism</a>."
