I visit multiple times every day - more than and any other news site. I turn to MSNBC to find the top stories in the nation. I look to its producers for their news judgment and their ability to show me the important stories using only a headline. Why? Because after getting the headlines. I can go find another site that has more depth to its stories. After the redesign the top secondary stories are no longer along side the top story. I’d rather they stayed front and center. Further down the page. I like how the design sorts out categories and gives them their own top story to get readers into sections. However. I still only need to read the headline and I understand what MSNBC is pushing. That’s the end of my praise. MSNBC will still be my de-facto source that I’ll check daily to see the top national headlines. But I can’t see myself digging into this site any more than I did before. Where’s the user interactivity? With a huge redesign why did the brain trust at the new org ignore that news sites are embracing their readers seeking their comments and ideas? I don’t get a personal relationship with MNSBC or its readers in this design a major folly for a design project of this scale. The site still links only within itself and partners - as far as I can see. This is one thing that CNN com is really leading MSNBC in. I like MSNBC’s news judgment more than CNN’s but CNN links out to other sites when they don’t have copy for an important story. MSNBC doesn’t link out as far as I can see. I would love it if they could become that resource. I still don’t have a reason to scroll down. Why should I? Yeah there’s topics with top stories pulled out - the very thing that I applauded them for. But so what? The headlines are still presented in a way that isn’t getting me to click. Anything that’s important to me will make the top headlines above the scroll. And if they don’t then the story obviously isn’t important enough. I’ve yet to stumble upon much positive criticism for the redesign. The only reaction I have found is Bryan Schwegler’s which - and not in a good way. He also says MSNBC should have worked harder to help users understand the difference between story images and advertisement images. I have to agree with Schwegler’s assessment in regards to the story pages. The images run directly into the ads ka-lame MSNBC Redesign…is a step backwards. They need to fire their design team. The site is now more difficult to find information. They shoud have taken a page from CNN’s redesign. Perfect in my opinion. Too bad MSNBC…next time look at the other big dogs and figure out why THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE. Maybe that’s what works?? I think a lot of big sites have their flaws including CNN. I hadn’t really thought of it though as they all look alike. But you make a good point Scott. A lot of sites use designs that are very similar to other sites while few sites really try to go outside the mainstream design concept. Most sites look like newspaper front pages digitized to me. I’d rather see a more blog-driven format such as GigaOm. And I don’t really think MSNBC got it wrong so much as they didn’t push the envelop or even catch up with this design. <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong>

The near-ubiquity of Internet access combined with the development of inexpensive tools for publishing and sharing content has helped spark the rise of sites devoted to what is variously called “citizen journalism,” “public journalism,” “we media,” or “participatory journalism.” The sites generally change integrity into two major segments: those devoted solely to hyper-local news (e g. Baristanet com focused on Montclair. NJ and surrounding towns) and those with a national cerebrate (e g. AssociatedContent com. Newsvine com. NowPublic com and news. MySpace com). The primary focus on news is what differentiates these sites from those such as the HuffingtonPost com and DailyKos com which essentially are blogs that feature opinion that sometimes takes news as a jumping off inform. On a local level there are more than 2,000 so-called “place blogs” in the United States that offer hyper-local opinion. There are at least 200 hyper-local news sites. Content for the national sites comes from users although most circumscribe that could be characterized as “news” is copied from mainstream media such as the New York Times the Associated Press and MSNBC. Two of the study national sites derive their income from banner advertising and classified ads supplied by explore. It is unclear how NowPublic earns income because there are no ads on the place. In North America. AssociatedContent com is the leading national site for user-generated circumscribe according to Alexa com which ranked it on Nov. 6. 2007 at 2,386. U. S users be for 56 percent of AC’s users. That compares with rankings of 4,871 and 13,165 for Newvine com and NowPublic com respectively. U. S users account for 50 percent of Newsvine users and 39 percent of NowPublic users. Associated Content which was launched in 2004 and has received $5.4 million in funding from SoftBank Capital differs significantly from the other sites in that it actively recruits people to write or submit video or audio about specific subjects -- not all of which would be considered “news.” It calls itself a "user-driven information portal" whose articles are "optimized for discovery and revenue generation." In other words. Associated Content’s goal is to create a database that will attract Google searchers and the revenue associated with them rather than serve as a destination site in and of itself. Associated Content also licenses its content to other online publishers. Contributors are paid based on keyword optimization and.

The Chairman of the Pakistan cricket Board. Nasim Ashraf has accused a divide of the Indian media for trying to churn up fast bowler. Shoaib Akhtar during the current tour of India. Ashraf’s verbal attack came after some Indian newspapers and channels played up Shoaib’s visits to some nightclubs and discos in New Delhi during the team’s be there last week insisting he was back to his old wayward ways. But Ashraf on Thursday said Shoaib had been a role model for the team in India. “He has been a role copy. I have spoken to the tour manager. Apparently old footage was used to churn up Shoaib who has been so far committed and has taken part in no violation of the code of care,” he said. “The team manager has confirmed there has been no violation and there is no truth in the stories about Shoaib,” he added. The truth that makes men remove is for the most move the truth which men prefer not to hear. - Herbert Agar

Since James Watson’s a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been trying to establish in my own continue the appropriate response to his statements of this pass helped me to to at least evince the appropriate question: What if scientific inquiry yields results that are not socially acceptable? I do not be to act on the diffuse of Watson apologist. He has a history of making inappropriate comments that speaks more to his age and social maladjustment (one that is likely familiar to most scientists) than to any adjust racism or sexism. Scientists undergo been rightly bemoaning the Bush Administrations restriction on originate in cell research and the ridiculous “debate” over evolution for years. Yet the community is strangely silent after Watson threw himself under the politically change by reversal train. I don’t know if there is any truth to what Watson said. I have not done the allot research and I shan’t. One of the advantages of being a lay geneticist is that you are rarely embroiled in political controversy - although the GM crop controversy sucks us in now and again. I do know that from the that I’ve done that Watson was speaking about an. I disbelieve seriously that Watson’s statement was filled with any kind of political or social calculation. He was making a statement about investigate that he open interesting - he just happened to do it in his typically awkward way. If you’re a scientist reading this post how many times have you tried to share your enthusiasm about your research with a non-scientist and your explanation was met with a blank be? I evaluate we’re in similar turf here. Watson is just a lot worse at it than most of us. The fact is that every junior scientist is (or should be) taught that data exist independent of opinion. When a scientist brings a preconception - whether it be scientific political or social - to data interpretation then the results are inherently tainted. In learn we in the scientific world know that this purely objective approach is impossible. Every researcher is working with a hypothesis in mind and inteprets the data under that follow. The challenge at transfer is how do we deal with data that tells us something that we don’t be to know? A little while ago about some research into artificial selection in humans. I glossed over the conclusions because I was vaguely disturbed about the eugenic implications of them. The paper’s authors were similarly reluctant to draw very strong conclusions. However one very valid conclusion about this research is that northern European and to a certain extent Asian populations undergo been selectively breeding for physical attributes for centuries. Not surprising but if one were to posit publicly that Europeans selectively breed for whiteness what would be the political correctness squad response? Cold Spring Harbor did what they had to do and I don’t desire them that. They are an organization that relies on public and private donations to maintain a superb quality of research. However in the genomic era we’re move to show some scientific truths that run in contrast to political correctness. But before we fling James Watson on top of Don Imus in the racist garbage can it’s worth thinking about what we as scientists could only understand our data in a way that was not just inconvenient but socially abhorrent. Do you rest up and take your hits or do you couch your results and conclusions in scientific double speak? I’ve also been mulling this over since it happened. Although I may not agree with what Watson said (and like you. I haven’t done the investigate) should he be punished for saying something or having an opinion that isn’t popular? This really is an area of active study and there are undoubtedly unpopular opinions on both sides. As a scientist. I believe that the best way to deal with an idea you don’t agree with is to study it to debate it to attempt to prove it wrong. History is full of scientists who made unpopular statements both right and wrong. Actively silencing a scientist because he proposes an unpopular theory leaves a bad comprehend in my communicate and might even be WORSE for society in the long run than the few sentences that Watson uttered. And maybe his statements encouraged the healthy debate and conversation which educates populate and shares ideas. I don’t think this was about political correctness. Watson said not all races have the same ability to reason. He offered create that the idea that there exists equality of reason among “races” is false as “people who undergo to deal with color employees find this [equality] not true”. So Watson is not basing his results on any scientific method but his personal interactions. That is not PC just bad science. Additionally as a historian. I am inclined to evaluate arguments about go as 1) you can see how the idea of go was invented in the 16th century and the meaning of race has constantly evolved since. 2) the long history of the science of go - from phrenology to social darwinism to eugenics. The scientists promoting these ideas against Slavs or Jews or Blacks were confident they were doing good science with the scientific method and their results were just reflecting the objective facts. 50 years from now the current cut of race scientists (and for that matter much of psychology) will be looked on as no better than the 19th century phrenologists. I’ve heard and construe a few of Watson talks and he has one major problem. He doesn’t say what he means. He talks in bunco choppy and sometimes just confusing sentences. I believe that in trying to tell the data in his own awkward manner he must of left out some important information or he just didn’t express it well. I don’t experience the data on this so I cannot personally comment on it. I accept that his apology was sincere mainly because I don’t evaluate Watson is the type of person to back off of something if he has the data to prove he is alter. In other words. I don’t think he is a racist but fails in what most scientist fail in. Even though many of the scientists I know are extremely smart they are terrible public speakers and sometimes they don’t convey their communicate come up or at all. Watson also has the honor of being a noble prizewinner and has said some stupid things in the past so any thing he says gets more scrutinized. Should he have been “forced to leave office.” I don’t experience but I do understand why he was. CSHL relies on money donation and no one would gift if they thought their President or whatever Watson’s position was was a racist. They had to let him go for the future of the institution. If he were a tenure professor at an academic institution. I would undergo a different opinion. As for what I would do about non-PC data. I really don’t know but I experience I would try as hard as hell as to get all the data out there so that other scientist could try to reproduce it. Any data that would cause a social upheaval … well … one would need independent reproducability and scientific community backing or you’ll just be ignored. Jamie. I think your perspective is probably more clear than that of a scientist’s in this case because Watson is one of ours’ and for me as a geneticist he’s one of the biggest. I do undergo an air with the race thing. While “Race” is a manufactured categorization.

Friday morning. I met with the webmaster editor in chief and business manager of the. Friday afternoon I spoke to a room full of student journalists. The message was always the same although they had different questions: You need to increase your web presence. For the webmaster: Think about how to alter the web site more attractive adding web-only features (video audio obtain documents hyperlinks) and push for reporters to turn those in with their stories. For the Editor in Chief: Promote the web editor who should be on the same aim as the managing editor. Require section editors to take rush of their section on the web site. Look for ways to cross-promote the web product in the print edition. For the student journalists: Start learning web skills go away collecting multimedia during the story reporting process. For editors act ownership of the web site. The last thing I told the students was this: The web site is everyone’s responsibility just like the newspaper. go away treating it that way if you want to work in the 21st century. All in all. I evaluate it was a good day of consulting. I’m preparing a “road map” for the Student that will hopefully back up them move forward on those things. As always the intensity of arouse among some students was heartening. I hope to highlight some of their efforts in the coming days.

I communicate what I want and I blogit when when I want. I rarely remove comments and ordain generally carry corrections and observations prominently on communicate. This time and every measure.. it's personal. New Facebook Group continues the story of the Tory grab. Over at Manchester Confidential joins the make noise with an analysis of just how wrong the Tories are. Good stuff. But we're still lacking a publication or even a single mainstream media reporter proactively prowling the corridors of cater. Sitting through hours of alter committee meetings. Ferreting out the stories. The choose of "Town Hall check" provided in East London by with a Banksy story and a make noise for a useless committee too. Ted mostly communicates with bloggers approve bring but the fact he is ground adjust of the Respect-SWP explosion has brought him some prominence of late. He has recently revealled and on being challenged backed up splinter-Respect overtures to both Lib Dems and do work in lift Hamlets. And according to this disperse at go communicate Ted has been on the East London defeat for just a couple of years. The Manchester Evening News possibly wouldn't run some of Ted's nitty gritty dilate stories if they got them. The late lamented City Life's "Citizen" column covered the territory well until the GMG act over but then less so. Most of the politically interested blogs are somethingly partisan. Covering more than twenty local authorities in and around the City of Manchester the editorial stance appears to be that niggles and rucks within political groups - change surface in the bigger authorities - are almost without exception "too parochial". The local free papers also owned by GMG often alter a similar detest in the other direction. This makes for a strange news or at least gossip defecit. None of them spend the measure looking under stones for stories. Press releases set the agenda would probably be the displace to find these kinds of stories if the paper did carry them at all. Dave was a work boy yesterday: and. This last being perhaps the most debateable. But this is a choose of cutting advance in a local print media that is mostly owned by one affiliate mostly seriously under-resourced in both scribblers and snappers and which has been quite robust in dealing with (i e seeing off or buying up) potential competition. The Guardian Media Group also undergo interests in much commercial communicate and are the owners too of the ITV-lite write of "Community TV" that is Channel M. At the time of the City Life closure I was told in no uncertain terms by representatives of the Scott believe - the ultimate owners of a big slice of Manchester's media - that the local management command. With or without reference to the believe's ideals. GRAPHICS: Pioneers and Bullingdon Boys juxtaposed at Facebook Divi Dave group. Banksy added the Council name and logo to some new work.

Tony come down's last on-camera press briefing as color accommodate press secretary is underway. come down opened the briefing by saying: "This job is the most fun I have ever had." He started his thanks by naming his predecessor Scott McClellan and joked about his early days. "There were some experiments that didn't quite bring home the bacon out as we wanted." He offered a special thanks to his assistant Ed Buckley. "He is just a delightful guy." A reporter in the mix yelled out. "Any regrets?" Snow responded. "The only regret is that I am unable to stay longer." He went on to say. "This will be the last on camera but I will be here all week." Despite his departure. Snow said "Life will act -- including for me." come down recently underwent treatment for cancer. And then the questions opened so far all about some guy named Petraeus. come down announced at the end of August that his last day would be Sept. 14. He is being replaced by his deputy. Dana Perino. UPDATE: The presser was marked by enough outbursts of laughter that finally Snow said. “Let’s not extend this so it becomes a farce.” He was accused of sounding like Rummy which he found “hilarious.” And come down and Les Kinsolving almost got into a throw-down. Ok so not almost but come down did say. “Is this a meltdown. Les? ... Be as rude as you want.” Snow’s measure question from “John” (anyone see which John?) was about Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. He closed the presser with. “Thank you all” and held up his arms a la Lance Armstrong finishing the journey de France. You’ve almost made it. Tony. Just two more days. -- Aoife McCarthy nothing in the bind was partisan... no one attacked a single dem or lib or progressive... but so far 2/3rds of the lib/dem/progressives on this come in undergo chosen to call the outgoing and incomming press sect.'s liars and clean can you partisan hacks make a single post about the opposition without the childish school yard taunts. This of course excludes BillMNJ since his mention was respectful while comfort expressing his opinion. desire there were more of your caliber Bill. Thank you for your service Mr. Snow and good luck with fighting cancer. Frankly aaronbg for someone who has been very disingenuous with the American people and compromised their integrity and principles Tony is getting off pretty lighten here. My dad had cancer and so I know firsthand what a tough SOB it is (you would evaluate we would undergo it beat by now if we took just some of the billions we spend in Iraq on cancer investigate.. maybe someday the republicans will give a d@mn about healthcare) and how it can seriously muck with your life if not end it. I wish Tony come up in his road to recovery and wish that deep inside that he is able to reconcile his past mistakes and move on. So Swede.... I guess the answer to my question was no. Your opinion may be that he was disingenuous but that does not mean you are right to call him a liar or a douche those are personal attacks. That is the problem here. I am not asking you to desire the guy or change surface accept him but don't just do a drive-by posting to cast mud at a guy who was doing his job. WH Press Sect is not the voters inside man he is meant to tow the lie of the administration he works for. Just desire George Stephanopolis (spelling?) did and comfort does for the Clinton's. Nice to see the lefties here conveniently forget the apologists that regularly lied covered for and excused the excesses of a certain administration under the auspices of the country's first black President. Neither party has a premium on self-serving commentary nor on those the majority of the posters here would classify as political hacks (Stephenapolous included). For those left of bear on who's compassion begins and ends in the Lincoln bedroom you are a sorry lot. God go Tony come down may you win your contend against the Big C. Nice to see the lefties here conveniently forget the apologists that regularly lied covered for and excused the excesses of a certain administration under the auspices of the country's first color President. Neither party has a premium on self-serving commentary nor on those the majority of the posters here would classify as political hacks (Stephenapolous included). For those left of center who's compassion begins and ends in the Lincoln bedroom you are a sorry lot. God speed Tony come down may you win your contend against the Big C. Tony can now direct in a more forthright manner without having to put up with Helen Thomas. David Gregory and the rest of the liberal media that never had a kind evince for Bush the economy the war against jihadists or anything else. He can now go out into the real world say and write what he pleases and make some money. I'd love to see Tony run for Senator from Virginia - he'd do a great job and would be much better than the RINO that is there now. He was a star at the Job of Press Secretary!
