I många år har jag sparat intressanta lästips om webbmediet i denna blogg. Nu har jag hittat ett bättre sätt att samla. Jag använder RSS-läsaren Google Reader. I den kan man markera favoriter eller "Stars" bland alla artiklar man skummar. Den lista med favoriter som uppstår blir min egen Webbmediet-blogg. Och kommer jag ihåg att klicka på "Share" så kan också andra se listan. Titta här: Google Reader - Nils shared items. (Eller nedan till höger.)

Telegraph Blogs: Technology: Shane Richmond: October 2006: News from nowhere - a survival guide: "I identified three problems. First, how do media organisations, specifically newspapers, remain relevant when readers have more choices and less time? Second, how do those organisations continue to make money in such a world? And third, how do you maintain ownership of material when even individual articles can be fragmented to serve the needs of readers?
There aren't any answers. Not yet, anyway. There is always room for surprises when it comes to technology - but here are a few suggestions for how media organisations can prepare themselves for the future."

6 Drop the price

7 Solve the online revenue riddle

8 Promote as if success depends upon it

Skype's Venice Project Revealed: "The current code name will be replaced with a new brand, though Friis declined to say what the official name will be. The Venice Project is currently trying to convince a range of small, medium, and large media and TV companies to place their full-length, professionally produced content on the network, although anyone will be able to post video on the network. It's also talking to advertisers and marketers that could place video ads on the network. 'People love to watch TV. They love professional storytelling by people who know what they are doing. And people love the Internet, because of the choice and the social qualities. We are trying to bring the best of both worlds together,' Friis said."

Editorial Photographers UK "Video is the future for Telegraph photographers" says Nicol: "“Digital stills photography will, when we look back on it, form a very small period of time in the history of photojournalism”, Nicol told EPUK. “Telegraph photographers will undoubtably be shooting solely on video in the future, and certainly within a year we hope to be well advanced down that route.”"

När nätet blir allt viktigare som nyhetsförmedlare så blir också nätets utveckling i sig angeläget för samhället

DN - Ekonomi - Vad vill alliansen med nätet?: "Enligt ett amerikanskt förslag ska internet förändras så att de företag och institutioner som är beredda att betala får komma fram snabbare i nätet. Somliga länder kan också vilja koncentrera makten över nätåtkomsten till ett fåtal företag, medan andra länder vill censurera nätets innehåll.

En av experterna tror att bara några få länder kommer att våga välja den djärva vägen och utveckla nätet till en effektiv ekonomisk och social infrastruktur.

Kommer alliansen att se till att Sverige blir ett av de länderna?"

'TimesSelect' Nears 200,000 Web-Only Subscribers on 1st Anniversary: " Nearly 200,000 people have signed up and paid a special fee to use The New York Times' TimesSelect service since it launched one year ago, the newspaper revealed Wednesday. The service allows access to all of the newspaper's Op-Ed columnists, archives, and other features that are unavailable to non-subscribers.

Since it launched on Sept. 19, 2005, the paid service has drawn 198,690 users who do not subscribe to the print paper, but pay a special online fee for access. That is up from 156,000 in January and 183,000 in June, suggesting growth may be leveling off. The access fee is $7.95 per month or $49.95 per year.

Since January, the Times reports the service has brought in about $6 million in additional revenue."

'We will launch the new newsroom on October 1,' Mr Barber told MediaGuardian.co.uk."

Dallas Morning News | News for Dallas, Texas | Opinion: Editorials: "I'm in an unusual position here. As an editor at The News in the 1980s, I was intimately involved in expanding the paper. Today, I am trying to rescale the paper in a digital world. I can think of few editors in the country who have been so closely involved in both sides of this equation. Certainly, it was easier to do what we did in the 1980s. Yet, what we are creating today is no less significant.
These are exciting and demanding times as we forge ahead into a new media world. We are committed to getting it right for you. "

Google to Offer Print-Archives Searches - New York Times#: "The new feature, to be named Google News Archive Search, will direct Google searchers to both paid and free digital content on publishers’ Web sites, but will not directly generate revenue for Google.
Google would not state how many publishers were taking part in the new service, for which Google has independently indexed material from online databases and will display the results both as part of standard searches and through a new archive search page (news.google.com/archivesearch). However, it announced a number of partners including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time, Guardian Unlimited, Factiva, Lexis-Nexis, HighBeam Research and Thomson Gale."

The real lesson of plunging regional sales from Greenslade: "One of the main reasons for this is, of course, the gradual erosion of staff numbers and the parallel erosion of salaries. Too few people of real talent and ability are prepared to take up jobs in the regional press or, at least, to spend very long working there. Owners must be to blame for this. They failed to invest in journalism in the times when they were reaping rewards from a booming advertising market. And, when that boom was over, the first section to suffer cuts was editorial. Yes, there have been launches. Yes, there has been an understanding of the need to invest online, though that has been both belated and, too often, has been done on the cheap. But it’s undeniable that journalism is a labour intensive activity that make a time-and-motion approach to their work wholly inappropriate.
Unless owners grasp that editorial content is the key to wooing an audience the current cliff-fall will become steeper still and they will end up without any readers at all. Nor, once their print “brand” disappears, will they be able to hold on to an online readership either. In the immediate future at least, print and web have to run together in order to retain an audience. Unless owners and managers grasp that fact, they will hasten the demise of newspapers and, in so doing, rob communities of the main information source that underpins our democracy. And that ain’t as pompous as it sounds. It’s the reality staring us all in the face. "

9 Ways for Newspapers to Improve Their Websites » The Bivings Report: "Offer Alternative Views of Your Content. Editors are great gatekeepers and play an important function. But on the web why not give us a look at your homepage showing the most read stories? Or most blogged? Or even allow Digg style voting and show the stories with the most votes? I'm not advocating abandoning the concept of editors and going fully to a social model, but why not give people some choices as to how they look at your content? Alternatively, partner with a social news site like Reddit and let them create an alternative view of your homepage for you. Slate did. "

Bloggarnas trovärdighet ifrågasatt

Nya ordlekar » Arkiv » Bloggarens lön: "Alla kontrollfunktioner som en publicistisk verksamhet normalt har – ansvarig utgivare, fördröjning av publicering, redaktörsskap – saknas i bloggosfären.
Det är ett problem.
Nya medieutmanande fria bloggare vill förstås ogärna se det – men så är det."

CIO Sweden - Vem bekostar den politiska bloggen?: "När jag träffar Carol Darr på Institute for Politics, Democracy and the Internet berättar hon att de politiska kampanjmakarna i USA älskar bloggare av precis dessa skäl. Att ha ett gäng bloggare i sitt stall är som att ha ett antal lokaltidningar, men utan den jobbiga etiska granskningen. Jag frågar om hon verkligen tror att det finns bloggare som saknar ryggrad till den milda grad att de skulle lägga sig platt för en kampanj. ”Självklart”, svarar hon och tillägger att hon inte skulle bli överraskad om det i årets amerikanska valkampanj, eller i nästa års, uppdagas att ett antal bloggare finansieras av utländska aktörer med intresse för amerikansk politik. Saudiska wahhabiter, knarkhandlare i Latinamerika, kinesiska affärsmän... nu har de plötsligt en chans att påverka. "

Växande DVD-försäljning förklarar raset för CD-försäljning bättre än piratnedladdningen

2006-08-27T16:53:00.000+02:00

BBC NEWS | Technology | Download fans boost music sales: "The report notes that since 2001 the total European market for recorded music has lost 22% of its value but it warned against blaming piracy for this decline.
It referred to figures from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry which show that the number of pirated files in circulation online had declined substantially between 2003 and 2005.
The report also said the fact that stores such as HMV and Virgin were branching out into books, mobiles and other media had left less shelf room for CDs.
Perhaps most important was the rising popularity of DVD.
Said the report: 'the fact that the decline in physical music sales corresponds to the boom in DVD sales begins to look less like a coincidence and more like a cause.' "

Vad väljer vi? Innovation eller museum?

The newspaper industry | More media, less news | Economist.com: "Consultants say that lots of traditional newspaper companies are planning to hold their noses and launch free dailies. In France, for instance, Le Monde is planning a new free daily, and Mr Murdoch's News International is preparing a new free afternoon paper for London, to be launched next month. Deciding whether or not to start a freesheet, indeed, perfectly encapsulates the unpalatable choice that faces the paid-for newspaper industry today as it attempts to find a future for itself. Over the next few years it must decide whether to compromise on its notion of “fine journalism” and take a more innovative, more businesslike approach—or risk becoming a beautiful old museum piece.

MediaWatch :: Overblik og indsigt i mediebranchen: "Politiken har erkendt, at online-avisen er den bedste platform til hurtig formidling af nyheder på skrift. Ambitionen er, at alle nyheder, der er interessante for det danske samfund, bliver opdateret og registreret øjeblikkeligt.

Samme nyhedsudvalg udgør én gang i døgnet et nyhedsoverblik i papiravisen.

Når ændringen sker sidst i næste måned, vil journalisterne enten arbejde på netversionen eller papiravisen.

Opgaven for flertallet af papiravisens journalister bliver at skrive baggrund, perspektiv og indlevelsesjournalistik, som ikke fås andre steder. Debatstoffet udvides også i papirversionen."

You Tube är mer kulturmagasin än TV

2006-08-23T22:09:00.000+02:00

This Blog Sits at the: Up Periscope: YouTube as the raw feed of contemporary culture: " I think YouTube is not about entertainment, it's about information. Or it's not about information, it's about intelligence. To put this another way, YouTube is not the future of Hollywood, it's the future of the magazine. Actually, it's the world post-magazine.
All of us are now trying to stay within shouting distance of a contemporary culture busting out in all directions. The cost of falling out of touch is substantial. Not knowing about YouTube in, say, August of 05 was perfectly okay. No harm, no foul. Not knowing about YouTube in August of 06 is really a good way of destroying your credibility...as an anthropologist, an analyst, a marketer, an educator, a librarian, a parent, a teen. Well, there is almost no one in our culture who can now afford to say, 'YouTube? No, I'm sorry I haven't heard of that.' "
