As awful as the news coming out of Mumbai is, this latest tragic event is proof positive of the power of social media as immersive, human, immediate and infinitely more powerful than the heritage media in reporting current events. In terms of immediacy and impact, as well as a true human face on the events, you need look no further than: Ultrabrown’s live blog Vinu’s photos on Flickr the rapid and frankly, near-overwhelming rate of ...

I’ve decided to retire SOJO: Student of Online Journalism as the title of my blog. Although I am always learning, and in some respect will always remain a “Student of Online Journalism,” my posts have been veering farther and father from that topic. I will continue to write about “the Web, the media and journalism,” and my own experiences in these areas. I’ll probably write about some other random stuff too. But I’ve graduated from ...

As autoridades islâmica da Malásia decretaram uma fatwa contra a yoga, proibindo os cidadãos de a praticarem. Os clérigos temem que, por conta de suas raízes hindus, a yoga poderia “destruir a fé de um muçulmano”.

A Literary Review anunciou o ganhador do seu badalado prêmio anual de pior cena de sexo da literatura.

A tragédia provocada pela chuva em Santa Catarina motivou uma avalanche de críticas nos jornais sobre a falta de interesse do presidente Lula com a catástrofe. Houve quem comparasse a lentidão do governo federal em agir à celeridade com que a ajuda à Cuba foi decidida por Lula quando a ilha foi atingida por um furacão. Até ontem, apenas um ministro havia dado um pulo na região afetada, Geddel Vieira Lima, de Integração Nacional. O ...

O arranha-céu fica em Dubai, como o nome indica, e vai torrar US$ 4,1 bilhões até o final da obra, quando terá cerca 820 metros.

During the postseason, I remarked that Charlie Manuel might be the Phillies greatest manager ever. Haste aside, we can all agree that Manuel is one of the franchise’s best skippers. The track record solidifies that. But let’s dig deeper: All-time managerial records (percentages above .525, minimum 100 games): Arthur Irwin - 149-110 - .575 Dallas Green - 169-130 - .565 (1 World Series) Pat Moran - 323-257 - .557 (1 NL pennant) Bill Shettsline - ...

Eu sou fã do Marcelo Camelo. Acho ele um cara simples, boa praça, introspectivo e o considero um dos músicos brasileiros de maior qualidade dos nossos tempos. Às vezes até me identifico com ele. No entanto, estou certo de que há momentos em que é preciso deixar a idolatria de lado e deixar que certas coisas falem por si só, sobretudo quando elas dizem respeito a vida pessoal do ídolo em questão: Daqui.

Our team was fun to watch, but had no hopes of going deep in the playoffs. If they can dump Curry as well, they will have enough to give max offers to Lebron and Bosh. Can you even imagine ...

Sources within the House majority tell me that Rep. Luis Villafuerte has circulated a resolution in the Lower House to convene Congress into a constituent assembly to revise the 1987 Constitution. One source says as of Thursday night (20 November) more than 170 congressmen have signed the resolution. I spoke to a majority congressman who admits he signed it. My sources also tell me that it is Reps. Martin Romualdez and Mikey Arroyo who have ...
