etaoin shrdlu 09 01 2006 10 01 2006 skip to main skip to sidebar etaoin shrdlu a place to talk about the changing news media landscape tuesday september 26 2006 vita mn therapy i ve flagged the minneapolis entertainment website vita mn for you before as you know it s now in a soft launch phase and there are still some features like good rss feeds to attach but the reviews have already started to come in believe me you re gonna want this for your own sites it s worth you while to pay attention now ken doctor puts it this way in his blog content bridges maybe there s just enough time for newspapers to reclaim a fundamental things to do franchise and grow it in the age of citizen eater involvement one bright light that bears attention the new stealth mode very tag friendly user gen oriented vita mn product planned by the star tribune in minneapolis here are a few other links worth following gridskipper loves the use of the mn domain it s mongolia btw a robust pro and con at mnspeak where users debate vita mn s utility another minneapolis blog thread likewise with mixed reviews is here at metroblogging twin cities the idea of content and commentary supplied by users is central to the vita mn concept and there haven t been that many users during this soft launch so it s unspruising that early reviews won t reflect the whole concept as more users discover the site and the fabulous tools that let them customize and manipulate it that will change you heard it here first howard weaver posted by howard at 9 43 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday september 24 2006 more about civil debate there s a fascinating thread over at the big question where eric introduced a discussion about how we might avoid the fever swamps of political extremists and engender real two way discussion he concluded if there is to be any communication across the divide people of good faith on both sides have to find each other find a way to exchange views try to learn from each other and use evidence and logic to define their differences down to the philosophical nub chances are this does not lead to a magic moment when all join hands and sing kumbaya but it does mean we can still converse still challenge the other side and defend one s own still hear the best facts and arguments that are inconvenient to our pre existing beliefs and in the best cases consider whether those facts and arguments require us to rethink what we think we believe amongst the many thoughtful comments from readers i liked this one on a serious note unfortunately the nutty extremes of each party become the mascot of said party coulter michael moore o reilly sheehan perhaps if the media cease printing the diatribes of these extremists it would approach normalcy again howard weaver posted by howard at 4 50 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday september 19 2006 a blog explosion how are

share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday september 17 2006 civilizing your blogs i want to commend to your attention the first two comments appended to the big question post below they are from a civilian reader named anna and she offers some thoughtful notions and many useful links to other discussions any of you who are thinking about how to manage the new interactive relationship with readers and that should be all of you of course will be interested howard weaver posted by howard at 7 08 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday september 16 2006 ask answer the big question in line with the two posts below about different kinds of campaign coverage i also should have mentioned eric black s pioneering blog reporting effort at the star tribune called the big question it s kind of tough to describe the website s boilerplate is appended below but it s easy to judge eric s vigor and to appreciate the robust mainly civil discussions that it generates i d encourage you to have a look and to share your own ideas and experiences here remember anybody can comment here if you d like to post and please do just email jill christensen jchristensen mcclatchy com for an invitation to join the blog what is the big question the big question is an experiment by the star tribune and startribune com one based on the belief that our reporting will become stronger and more relevant by inviting you our readers to join us in the pursuit whatever the question our hope is that this blog can serve as a forum for finding and testing facts with a minimum of rancor or partisanship in the pursuit of answers big and small despite the often overheated rhetoric about the mainstream media it s our belief that those answers will be more convincing and more complete if they are drawn from the insight expertise and critical assessment of everyone and that means you howard weaver posted by howard at 7 11 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday september 14 2006 strib readers join the debates take a look here for anders gyllenhaal s blog post explaining a new feature of election coverage that the star tribune calls debate tracker the idea is that the coverage of every significant debate through nov 7th will include a summary and highlights that will be used to build a special page online that tracks the course of debates this will let readers look at the ebb and flow of debates over time and also add their thoughts and commentary to the feature howard weaver posted by howard at 5 30 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 21st century election coverage i thought you d be interested in this recent post from tribal fires a blog that exists mainly to bedevil the anchorage daily news coming from that generally begrudging source this seems even more impressive slouching towards immediacy isn t it interesting to see adn transforming itself as this election season wears on it seems to be changing from a factory that produces a single big slug of news product every morning into something resembling a round the clock news operation like a wire service or cnn or an old time honey get me rewrite urban tabloid that published several editions a day two cases in point 1 at 5 35 p m saturday reporter kyle hopkins posted a story on the adn home page about nea alaska declining to endorse any of the three governor candidates though it endorsed knowles only two years ago when he ran for u s senate against lisa murkowski back in the day this story would have been all over tv and radio for better than twelve hours before adn hit our doorsteps in the morning now thanks to the internet adn can be as immediate as the broadcast media 2 kyle s campaign blog its biggest effect is to feed the cravings of billy and other political junkies for a constant flow of info and comment on what the candidates are up to stuff that however much we in the blogosphere eat it up is too insiderish and arcane to make print but the other effect of the blog is to keep that information coming pretty much in real time if you allow for the necessity of some time to write and edit so not only does the big stuff like nea s non endorsement get out immediately so does the little stuff from time to time media pundits fret about how the dinosaurish old print media can possibly survive in the internet age well maybe we re seeing the answer before our very eyes as adn covers this campaign it s simple if not always easy and it s the same thing newspapers have always done you go out you get the story you write it up you put it out there the only thing new is you don t wait twelve hours to take that last step i know most of you are extending your election and other coverage in a variety of ways anything special that you d like to add here howard weaver posted by howard at 11 21 am 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday september 04 2006 lessons from modern times i ve been listening all weekend to bob dylan s new release modern times what a remarkable thing this is in the 45th year of a storied recording career here s a singer and songwriter opening new doors building confidently on a canon that has long since passed from legendary to unparalleled touring more than 100 days a year to hone a sound and style that is fundamentally undeniably his but keeps evolving and changing along with the artist and his times his last great album love theft 2001 was a candid conversation about age and limits and regrets this one is none of that it s deeply informed by a lifetime of experience songs only a mature master could have produced but manages nonetheless to be fresh and contemporary so what s that got to do with a newspaper blog well nothing of course and everything you see this is about constant reinvention dylan was fantastic in 1966 at the albert hall but that performance wouldn t be dylan today or resonate with listeners today the way it did then lots of the other musicians who captured our attention in 1966 kept playing and singing the same way and today they re playing pathetic gigs at holiday inns in billings and greensboro you want to avoid the holiday inn you have to keep your news report fresh tuned contemporary you have to realize that people are watching tv on mobile phones posting their own restaurant reviews reading little snips of five different newspapers on rss feeds several times a day those bands replaying their 1966 performances are dead bob dylan lives on in fact wasn t it dylan who said he not busy being born is busy dying posted by howard at 7 39 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook
