BBC shares results of social media and accountability research | Journalism.co.uk Editors' Blog

“We recommend that blog authors respond at least in part to popular comment threads where new points or questions are being raised. We also recommend greater empathy and consistency from hosts.” “There needs to be a culture change inside the BBC such that it becomes an accepted and expected part of the job of senior editorial management to read online social media output associated with their linear brands, as well as being aware of the competition.” | source : blogs.journalism.co.uk

Global Voices en Français » Russie : Les incendies, la rynda et Poutine

Vous savez pourquoi nous brûlons ? Parce que c'est un merdier. […] Dans mon village sous les connards de communistes - que tout le monde critique - il y avait trois étangs d'incendie, une rynda [Note de l'auteur : apparemment le vieux mot russe de “rynda” désigne une clochette servant à signaler les événements importants du village] que l'on sonnait en cas d'incendie, et, miracle - un camion de pompiers, un pour trois villages il est vrai, mais au moins il y en avait. Puis messieurs les démocrates sont arrivés et le merdier a commencé. La première chose qu'ils ont faite, c'est de combler les étangs d'incendie et de vendre les terrains pour la construction. On a aussi fait quelque chose au camion de pompiers, probablement les extra-terrestres l'ont embarqué, et la rynda a été remplacée (putain de modernisation) par un téléphone qui ne fonctionne que dalle parce qu'on a oublié de le connecter. Il est resté un pompier mais il n'a rien d'autre qu'un casque et une combinaison qui lui resten | source : fr.globalvoicesonline.org

Digital journalism: More work, more pressure but more opportunity | Media | guardian.co.uk

• Journalists are producing less video, largely due to cuts in budget and increased time pressures. Last year, the number of news sites offering video reached 50%, but this fell to 39% this year. Blogs and discussion boards were also less used, according to the journalists surveyed this year. | source : www.guardian.co.uk

New Media, Old Media - Pew Research Center

Each social media platform also seems to have its own personality and function. In the year studied, bloggers gravitated toward stories that elicited emotion, concerned individual or group rights or triggered ideological passion. Often these were stories that people could personalize and then share in the social forum -- at times in highly partisan language. And unlike in some other types of media, the partisanship here does not lean strongly to one side or the other. Even on stories like the Tea Party protests, Sarah Palin and public support for Obama both conservative and liberal voices come through strongly. | source : pewresearch.org

The Effects of Reading Political Blogs | Snurblog

Overall, the study produced mixed results - one question that emerges is whether blog readers see political strategy as political value; elements of political sophistication and of community membership also appear to be of importance. Blog readers also do seem to have a particular understanding of how the media work (this is somewhat different from political sophistication - more a kind of media sophistication); what also needs to be examined are the effects of starting to read blogs as compared to increasing use. | source : snurb.info

SUR MON ECRAN RADAR: La blogosphère au secours de la vieille presse ?

Lancé il y a seulement cinq ans, le HuffingtonPost a fait le pari de s'appuyer sur le meilleur de la blogosphère américaine plutôt que sur une rédaction de journalistes professionnels : il talonne désormais sur internet le "New York Times" avec 12,3 millions de visiteurs uniques aux Etats-Unis contre 13,1 millions pour la "vieille dame grise" (bientôt 160 ans au compteur) ! C'est l'institut Comscore qui a récemment publié ces chiffres pour le mois de mars. Le site fondé par la journaliste politique américaine Ariana Huffington et son confrère Ken Lerer avait déjà coiffé au poteau ce bon vieux "Washington Post" en fin d'année dernière, et devance largement le grand "Wall Street Journal" comme le montre le graphique ci-dessous | source : monecranradar.blogspot.com
