Understanding the Participatory News Consumer / Etude Pew Internet
In the digital era, news has become omnipresent. Americans access it in multiple formats on multiple platforms on myriad devices. The days of loyalty to a particular news organization on a particular piece of technology in a particular form are gone. The overwhelming majority of Americans (92%) use multiple platforms to get news on a typical day, including national TV, local TV, the internet, local newspapers, radio, and national newspapers. Some 46% of Americans say they get news from four to six media platforms on a typical day. Just 7% get their news from a single media platform on a typical day. | source : www.pewinternet.org

Rattle » The Newsography Experiment
Having launched Channelography, a web service that analyses programme captions to provide new ways of exploring content from the BBC, we decided to look at another prolific producer of content – the Guardian. Parsing a large portion of the UK content from 2009 using Muddy (our text mining and analysis service) provided us with data that we could use to test the theory of London news bias. To do this, we commissioned info-graphics that use the data from Muddy to help tell the stories. The visualisation shows the looks at number of news stories per million people for each city and interestingly, the results challenged the initial proposition with London appearing to be under represented given it’s population size whilst cities such as Oxford, Cambridge and Brighton feature much more prominently than larger cities. | source : www.rattlecentral.com

Council newspapers: Revealed – the people who believe what’s written in them « David Higgerson
But for a council to take a positive letter about gritting and make it the ’star letter’ and then for councillors to cite it as proof people were happy with the service during the snow, at a council meeting, seems wrong to me. The other two letters – yes, count them – on the page came from a charity and from an NHS boss about how the NHS was trying to make Lambeth healthy. A focal point for balanced discussion this letters page is not. | source : davidhiggerson.wordpress.com

Facebook: We're already the world's largest RSS reader for news content (via @Niemanlab )
When Marshall Kirkpatrick posted the other day that Facebook could become the largest news reader I had an inkling that it already was. Today, new data released from Hitwise confirms my suspicions: Facebook is indeed the largest news reader. While Yahoo!, Google, and MSN, account for the majority of traffic to news sites, Facebook came in fourth. So why would I suggest that Facebook is the largest news reader even though it’s the fourth largest source of news traffic? Read on to find out. | source : www.allfacebook.com
