Links for October 1, 2009 to October 5, 2009:
- TEDx Manchester – some thoughts – There’s a lot of coverage on the TEDx Manchester event, and Louise Bolotin’s link-rich sum-up post is a great way to start.
- Journalists? Bloggers? Citizens? Who are these people? – “What do we call someone who’s taken it on themselves to start a website for the local community and how should they be treated?”
- Mainstream media and the Fifth Estate – BBC journalist Nic Newman “looked at five different mainstream news organisations and concluded that social networking platforms such as Twitter and Facebook together with a rise in citizen journalism had formed a ‘Fifth Estate’.”
- Reception of my paper about online promotion of new music | BasBasBas.com – DD: BasBasBas wrote a paper saying that “giving away something of value for free can be a great promotional tool”. Then he gave it away to prove his point.
- Headlines and Deadlines: The problems with second-guessing our online audience – “A slideshow presentation into the US news industry brought home to me the risks that accompany assuming you know your readership well. It (…) shows the majority incorrectly assumed readers found their content very valuable; they also stated a belief that readers would struggle to find adequate replacements – the reader response was that they wouldn’t find it difficult.”
