Media: PDA | guardian.co.uk » New York Times embraces the web as an opportunity, not as a threat
Just a few weeks after NYT Co chairman and publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. and president and CEO Janet Robinson discussed the company's forthcoming online meter system at paidContent's recent conference on the subject, the two executives took the stage at Bloomberg BusinessWeek's Media Summit 2010 to continue to sell the idea. Both discussed the problem of maintaining the brand while trying to update the NYT as a digital news source in addition to the print product.
In a conversation with James Ellis, Bloomberg BW's assistant managing editor, Sulzberger spoke about the challenge of maintaining 160-year-old brand, "as long as it doesn't handcuff you amid this digital transition."
CEO Robinson added that the NYTCo realized early on that they can't just translate print articles to online. "We invested early in the web in '94 and embraced it as an opportunity, not a threat. We hired appropriately and have remained in the top five in terms of news sites. That says a lot."
— Meter model: After being asked about the need for diversified revenue models, Robinson spoke about circulation revenue being 40 percent of sales dollars, while in the past, it was around 30 percent. That provided introduction to finally discussing metered access to the website in 2011. When Ellis asked if there were any new specifics about when in 2011 the meter would be launched, Sulzberger responded only with a smirk: "Early 2011."
— Times Select lessons: Sulzberger reiterated that walling off archives and columnists behind the paywall was a success, it made money—but it happened when online ads were booming. His point though was that there is no set answer, as the economics of media are likely to remain in a constant state of flux. "We believe going to a metered model now is the right thing. But in 10 years from now? Who knows?"
— Devices and ads: Robinson: "It's a little early to predict what the ad experience will be on Amazon's Kindle or Apple's iPad. I do think, just as media companies are working hard at making their apps an enjoyable and unique experience, there's an opportunity for marketers to do that for their ad experiences. Look at our website now compared to a few years ago. Advertisers have begun showing that they're up to the task of being more creative with their web ads."
— Social media: In asking about change in journalism from a one-way conversation to one that involves readers commenting directly on stories, Ellis asked about the discomfort traditional journalists feel about that. Sulzberger said we're already passed that problem. "The question now is not about the two-way conversation between readers and reporters at The Times, the question is how to we expand the conversation outside of the paper and its site."
— Cost-cutting: Ellis sought to explore the pain of cost-cutting while trying not to damage the morale and work quality of the newsroom. "We're being selective about hiring—we just hired someone from the Washington Post yesterday, I believe—and it was hard doing the last newsroom buyouts. But it wasn't a shock." Robinson, on the size of the company, "It's something we constantly look at. There's a keen understanding that you have to evaluate what your resources are. The communication between the news and business sides, in terms of what everyone has to to do make us profitable, has never been stronger."
— History repeats itself: Sulzberger said that the "death of newspapers" meme is older than you might realize. Sulzberger: "In the 1850s, an editor of the NY Herald wrote that he had just met the death of newspapers. Literature would survive he said, but newspapers wouldn't. He had just met the telegraph."

Media: PDA | guardian.co.uk » Reuters sets up social media guidelines
Reuters has published some social media guidelines in its handbook of journalism. Dean Wright, Reuters' global editor for ethics, innovation and news standards, announced the new guidelines yesterday.
While the guidelines encourage Reuters journalists to use social media and stress that it is a powerful new tool, Reuters journalists are asked to get in contact with their line manager if they want to use them in a professional context.
The guidelines also recommend journalists set up a professional account – alongside their private account. This advice is a rather stiff approach to social media, which is a world where professional and personal lives collide.
In general, the Reuters' social media guidelines stress the most important aspects of journalistic ethics is to always say you are a Reuters journalist, avoid being biased, be careful not to reveal your sources, by publicly "following" or becoming their "friend", or not to tweet a scoop if Reuters wants to send it first over the wires.
The social media guidelines are part of the news agencies advice about "Reporting from the Internet" which cover general guidelines for their reporters representation in online chat-rooms or online forums, or the use of online encyclopedias as a starting point for research, but not an attributable source.
Partly Reuters' social media guidelines don't read like editorial guidelines, but like a useful instruction manual on how a journalist can get started in the new world of social media as they answer questions like "What is Twitter?" and explain that social media feels private, but is public.
Reuters’ struggle to encorporate social media with journalism is not an uncommon problem. A lot of news organisations have found it hard to take a firm position on how their journalists should use social media.
Shall journalists be incredibly wary when using social media? Or should they be expected to use it when it leads them to information?
While the BBC editorial guidelines mention social media only very briefly by warning its journalists to consider the impact of re-publishing third-party material, BBC World Service director Peter Horrocks recently asked his staff to make better use of social media to take it more into account as a journalistic source. An approach that was answered by a mild uproar.
However, Wright agrees that journalists should have the ability "to use their brains and to see – and report on – a world that's changing every day." In his view, this demand of the profession also applies to social media usage.

Media: PDA | guardian.co.uk » Google Reader Play: a new way to browse the web
Google’s new interface turns the web into an interactive entertainment magazine
Google has launched Google Reader Play, an experimental feature that offers a new, highly visual way to browse the web.
The new interface displays only one story at a time, focusing on pictures, videos, visual statistics and maps.
“We think Reader Play is a fun way to browse interesting items online that you wouldn't find otherwise," said software engineer Garrett Wu in a blogpost announcing the new product.
Unlike the standard Google Reader in which users have to subscribe to feeds, Google Reader Play requires no set-up. It learns new users' preferences by asking them to mark items they like with a star to read later.
“We designed it especially for people who don't want to spend time curating their own set of feeds," said Wu.
Google Reader Play is thus easy to use, and as the items are displayed in full-screen, there is one type of content it is perfect for: television.
As Nick Bilton of the New York Times puts it: "Although Google doesn't address television in the description of the product, the promising use case for many people could be the ability to use Google Reader Play on a computer hooked up to a larger screen."
Launched a few weeks before Apple's iPad hits the stores in April, Google Reader Play makes it clear that the big tech companies are aiming to take on the consumer market.

Online Journalism Blog » The BBC and linking part 2: a call to become curators of context
A highlight of my recent visit with MA Online Journalism students to the BBC’s user generated content hub was the opportunity to ask this question posed by Andy Mabbett via Twitter: ‘Why don’t you link back to people if they send a picture in?’ (audio embedded above and here).
The UGC Hub’s head, Matthew Eltringham, gave this response:
“We credit their picture … we absolutely embrace the principle of linking on and through. I think the question would be – if Andy sends in a picture because he happened to witness a particular event, how relevant is the rest of his content to the audience. I think we’d have to take a view on that.”
It was a highlight because something clicked in my head at this point. You see, we’d spent some of the previous conversation talking about how the UGC hub verifies the reliability of user generated content, and it struck me that this view of the link as content could risk missing a key aspect of linking: context.
In an online environment one of the biggest signals in how we build a picture of the trustworthiness of someone or something is the links surrounding it. Who is that person friends with? What does this website link to? Who gathers here? What do they say? What else does this person do? What is their background, their interests, their beliefs?
All of this is invaluable context to us as users, not just the BBC.
While we increasingly talk about the role of publishers as curators of content [caveat], we should perhaps start thinking about how publishers are also curators of context.
Curators of context
And on this front, the corporation appears to have an enormous culture shift on its hands – a shift that it has been pushing in public for years, with varying degrees of success in different parts of the organisation.
BBC Radio, and many BBC TV programmes, for example, use users’ pictures and tweets and link and credit as a matter of course, while some parts of BBC News do link directly to research papers.
Yesterday I blogged about the frustration of Ben Goldacre at the refusal of parts of the BBC News website to deep link to scientific journal articles. In the comments to Ben’s post, ‘Gimpy’ says that the journalist quoted by Goldacre told him in “early 2008″ that linking was “something which must be reviewed”.
In May 2008 the BBC Trust said linking needed major improvements, and in October 2008 the Head of Multimedia said linking to external websites was a vital part of its future.
And this month, the corporation’s latest strategic review pledges:
“to âturn the site into a window on the webâ by providing at least one external link on every page and doubling monthly âclick-throughsâ to external sites: âmaking the best of what is available elsewhere online an integral part of the BBCâs offer to audiencesâ.”
Most recently, this week the BBC’s announcement of 25% cuts to its online spend motivated Erik Huggers to make this statement at a DTG conference:
“Why can’t we find a way to take all that traffic and help share it with other public service broadcasters and with other public bodies so that if our boat rises on the tide, everyone’s boat rises on the tide?
“Rather than trying to keep all that traffic inside the BBC’s domain we’re going to link out very aggressively and help other organisations pull their way up on the back of the investments that the BBC has made in this area.”
To be fair, unlike other media organisations, at least the BBC is talking about doing something about linking (and if you want to nag them, here’s their latest consultation).
But please, enough talk already. Auntie, give us the context.

Media: PDA | guardian.co.uk » Google partners with Italy for groundbreaking book scanning deal
Google and the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage have reached an agreement to digitise up to a million out-of-copyright works at the national libraries in Florence and Rome, including some by Galileo.
And it's just two weeks after an Italian court gave three Google executives suspended prison sentences over a video of bullying on YouTube that had been removed once the company was told about it.
Google is not only to work closely together with the Italian libraries, but also with the Italian ministry of culture – the first time that the search engine has had a government department a such a close partner on such a project. Google called it a "groundbreaking deal".
“The libraries will select the works to be digitised from their collections, which include a wealth of rare historical books, including scientific works, literature from the period of the founding of Italy and the works of Italy's most famous poets and writers," says Google's strategic partner development manager, Gino Mattiuzzo, in a blogpost announcing the deal.
While the costs will be covered fully by Google, the company will pass the scans on. The books will be available to groups including the EU's Europeana project, which already has scanned 6 million digital items of cultural value.
“We believe today's announcement is an important step, and we look forward to working with more libraries and other partners," says Mattiuzzo.
Google has similar arrangements with Oxford University, Madrid's Complutense University, the Bavarian state museum and others.
However, it's not clear whether Google is creating the world's biggest library or the world's biggest bookshop. Some fear the search engine is exploiting cultural heritage as a cheap context for advertising.
Recently, a New York judge postponed a decision on whether the company should be allowed to display parts of books still in-copyright.
Google on the other hand claims good intentions: "We envision a future in which people will be able to search and access the world's books anywhere, anytime. After all, Antonio Beccadelli and Anastasius Germonius – like Shakespeare and Cervantes – are part of our human cultural history."

Media: PDA | guardian.co.uk » CNN: Facebook and not Fox News is our biggest competitor
At the two-day Bloomberg BusinessWeek media summit in New York, CNN president Jon Klein had a Q&A with BusinessWeek editor Josh Tyrangiel.
Asked about the competition with Fox News, Klein answered: "The competition I'm really afraid of is social nets. We want to be the most trusted source. But on Facebook, people are depending on their friends as news sources.
“I’m more worried about the 500 million or so people on Facebook versus the 2 million on Fox," said the CNN president.
In terms of the cable news wars, though, Klein also pointed out that CNN has just had its most profitable year. Klein rattled off figures that he claimed to show CNN has 10% more viewers than Fox News, though he conceded that Fox News viewers tend to watch longer than CNN viewers do.
Furthermore the CNN president talked about the magic – and often illusory – word "synergy".
“We’re not force feeding, it's not creating foie gras and we're getting better at learning to manage the differences between the cable side and the online side," Klein said. CNN US will be a primary source of its online video, since some stories that might not work on the cable network could get traction online.
He talked about how Time Inc cable news network could use its ties with Time.com to increase its traffic through CNN.com. It also has ties with HBO, which has aired documentaries from host (and Newsweek International Editor) Fareed Zakaria.
“A huge reason we've doubled our profit over the last four years is because we've collaborated with affiliates all over the world."
Looking at the characteristic cable news landscape of the US, Tyrangiel wondered whether a non-partisan outlet, like CNN positions itself to be, can make it in this polarised atmosphere.
Tyrangiel linkened the business of 24-hour cable news to running an umbrella store. "You either have to sell the best umbrellas or you have to convince people it's always raining," he said to Klein.
Klein responded that in his view CNN can attract those who want straight news. "The other guys can have the fringes."

Web giant takes on Microsoft with Google Apps Marketplace offering cloud-based applications
Google has announced that it has opened the Google Apps Marketplace to developers.
More than 50 companies wil be involved in the Apps Marketplace, which will offer business software such as a project management application, a tax and a payroll program, an electronic fax program, an e-signature service, and a design tool for Google Docs.
The third-party cloud-based applications will be integrated within Google to work like native Google apps. It will charge developers 20% of the revenue from sales on the marketplace site, apart from a one-off fee of $100.
“The Google Apps Marketplace eliminates the worry about software updates, keeping track of different passwords and manual syncing and sharing of data, thereby increasing business productivity and lessening frustrations for users and IT administrators alike," said product manager Chris Vander Mey in a blogpost that announced the move.
Google is challenging Microsoft with the aim of becoming the operating system of the web. Up till now the search engine offered users and businesses several web applications such as Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Docs. It already has 25 million Google Apps users, with 2 million of them businesses.
“More than 2 million businesses have adopted Google Apps over the last three years, eliminating the hassles associated with purchasing, installing and maintaining hardware and software themselves," says Vander Mey.
Cloud computing applications, which are internet-based rather than desktop-based, were looked upon as promising but have been slow to take off. Computer users tend to choose names they already trust, and seemed to be confused about cloud-based applications. For a long time the market position of Microsoft seemed secure.
But Google might now be changing the game. It might also have found a new revenue stream – 97% of its income currently comes from advertising. As it already has released the Google Chrome browser and is working on a Google Chrome OS, the App Marketplace is the next logical step towards becoming a software company.

VideoJournalism » Converting from .asf…
fileinfo.com is turning out to be a wonderful resource. A month or so ago I bought a couple of Aiptek isdv2.4 video cameras – very low end little plastic cameras. The price was right (about $70 each) plus I wanted to see how well they would work or not work with the older eMacs and iMovie 6 my students use.
They were kept on the back shelf until this past week when the rush of project deadlines hit and I discovered that they shoot to yet another file format I hadn’t run into (not that I’m a file format guru) – .asf or Advanced System Format File, which is described as
a proprietary video and audio container format; developed by Microsoft primarily for streaming media; contains audio and video data and optionally metadata, such as title, author, and copyright bibliographic data.
fileinfo.com had a link to a free download of a converter called iSkysoft Video Converter, so I was able to convert to mp4, which imports right into iMovie. If these cameras become part of the workflow for my program rather than an experiment, I’ll pay for copies for a couple of computers…right now I’m getting by on the free version which leaves a watermark over the video.
Always following the motto of one of my literary heros, Doug Adams: DON’T PANIC.
