One of my research interests is blogs at the BBC, so I was fascinated by the tweets coming from Paul Bradshaw and Dan Bennett on the session on blogging at the internal Future of Journalism conference organised by the BBC’s College of Journalism. Bradshaw outlined the BBC blogs rules: authenticity, single author, impartiality, comments, commitment and obeying the rules of the blogosphere. By all accounts, the star of the session was the BBC’s business editor ...

When the story broke on the terror attacks in Mumbai there was much talk of news spreading through blogs and social networks like Twitter. Details of the siege were reported minute by minute by people who were there. There is no doubt that the rise in citizen journalism and the availability of these channels has provided a new layer of news sourcing where information comes fast and direct. It was the medium of radio however ...

On Saturday evening, my brother Todd happened by with his Qik equipped iPhone. Although the technology is not yet ready for release to the iTunes App Store, it is easy to see how this technology will be another educational 'game-changer'.Think about the magnitude of this change:"Anyone with a mobile device, will soon be able to broadcast live to the web from wherever they are! And anyone with a web-enabled device will be able to watch ...

The National Association of Broadcasters is issuing a warning to policy makers and Congress about the potential impact of ESPN’s winning exclusive rights to air most of the Bowl Championship Series. The new deal takes much of the series off broadcast TV and moves it to basic cable. In a policy statement today, NAB’s board of directors said the move would “disenfranchise” millions of viewers. “Broadcasters continue to support the rights of all Americans to ...

Lisa de Moraes, the TV writer for the Washington Post has an interesting story up where one of the items referenced was that Heroes producer Tim Kring spent a lot of time deflecting flack about lower ratings at a recent conference: Writing a serialized drama is “an absolute bear.” It is also a “very flawed way of telling stories on network television,” because of the advent of DVR and online streaming, for example, Kring said, ...

This AP story on DVR viewing has been syndicated everywhere, and will likely be read by 100,000x as many people as this post will, but I’ll do what I can to push back the tide of misinformation about DVRs and DVR viewing of TV shows that it includes. Among the least time-shifted shows this fall were “Deal or No Deal,” “60 Minutes” and “King of the Hill.” While 2 of those shows had low DVR ...

An advertising group, TV networks and TV news directors are urging the Federal Communications Commission not to increase TV sponsorship and placement disclosures. Consumer groups, meanwhile, want the agency to make the disclosures more prominent. The dueling views are showcased today in final comments to the FCC as the agency considers rewriting its disclosure guidelines, amidst some complaints that the current requirements don’t go far enough. The concerns about disclosure aren’t only affecting the FCC. ...

He didn’t say “ratings are obsolete” or “our viewers don’t watch TV”. I have to give Silverman credit for fully admitting the good fortune of the Sarah Palin/Fey timing. Rose asked if shows will ever have the impact that they have had in the past. Silverman said he thought about it in terms of “Will you ever have that same next day water cooler conversation?” due to DVR, Internet, etc. Which I think is a ...

A couple months ago Pascaline had a dream. She had a dream that we (me and her) were swimming with sharks. But let me back up. For the last few years, Pascaline will wake up hearing her name called in the night. She answers but doesn’t hear anything in response. Brian and I think God is whispering her name. Her experience reminds us of Samuel in the bible. These occurrences come and go, and a ...

The other day, Bill posed a question in the comments about why do the networks not just announce their schedules rather than let all kinds of silly drama play out in public with media spinning each and every move. Bill speculated that it was PR value, but I think in the intervening time Bill actually got one of the primary answers. Probably especially due to the writers’ strike there were more “sophomore” shows this year ...

Most companies looking at Social Media and Web 2.0 see it as a media channel to broadcast their messages into. This includes most Governments and Associations. This is the wrong reason to do it and the wrong strategy. If your company is looking at engaging in the social channels, but simply wants to tell the gathered audience about their brands, messages, products and services, here's the one best piece of advice to make that happen: ...Shared by Bryan Person (0) Courtney (1) Gayane Dallakyan (16) HonestReporting (5) Kneale Mann (1) madbaker (0) Mitch Joel (4)Contribute commentNew Scientist - Online News (20) permalink
