Journalists are economical | Online Journalism Blog
Pack journalism’, for example, is considered an example of ‘free riding’ and the tragedy of the commons: ‘hot news’ – such as the Lewinsky story – will be “overused”:
“The fixed costs of learning … tips the balance in story selection toward continuous coverage of a given event rather than undertaking new investigations.” (from James Hamilton, All The News That’s Fit To Sell, 2004) | source : onlinejournalismblog.com

Who Drove the Economic News (and Who Didn’t)? | Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ)
PEJ found that nearly half of the stories studied (49%) were triggered by government action of some sort. And in most cases (32% of all stories), the action came from the new Obama team—the White House or a federal agency under Obama’s control.
The second-biggest driver of coverage was the media themselves. Nearly a quarter of all stories studied (23%) were generated by press initiative, primarily through investigative or enterprise journalism (17% of all stories).
Business was the third leading catalyst of coverage (triggering 21% of the stories), often through corporate actions or representatives acting on behalf of the company.
Often this Obama-centric approach to economic coverage came from following the president as he tried to sell his policies to the American public and quell political opposition. The economy thus became a proxy for examining Obama’s young presidency as well as tracking the country’s economic status. | source : www.journalism.org

Researchers Warn of Geotagging Dangers - Are You Concerned?
To demonstrate the ease involved in determining a stranger's precise location, Friedland and Sommer first "cybercased" Craigslist, a classified ads website often used to post items for sale. Here they found geo-tagged photos which they compared with Google Street View, allowing them to determine the postal addresses belonging to the item's sellers. Even more helpful (if the researchers were, in fact, thieves), was that several ads included a "best time to call" - implying the hours the sellers were not at home. | source : m.readwriteweb.com
