The consensus (among many I talk to) WaPost.com pulled ahead of NYTimes.com for a few years. Then the Times focused and blew everyone away.

Jim Fallows on the press and Obama in China: when you don't know the subject you do the horse race thing http://jamesfallows.theatlantic.com/archive...

Electronic Frontier Foundation tackles that bogus podcasting patent, and asks for your help http://www.eff.org/deeplin... The nerve some companies have!

Yeah, @javaun: the first two paragraphs are an ad, "See how even-handed, we are?" which is then contradicted by the story: http://www.nytimes.com/2009...

Helps, @robpatrob, to realize that what's called "journalism" by the producers of it is "news and information" to users.

Read it carefully. See that "you got extremists on both ends, but the truth is in the middle..." device at the beginning? It's fake http://www.nytimes.com/2009... The story contradicts it. Read it and you'll see!

Why you rarely hear me talk about media "bias." From five years ago at PressThink http://journalism.nyu.edu/pubzone...

Dear @ChuckTodd: consider, just consider, that something about the View from Nowhere contributes to this http://twitter.com/chuckto...

What do you think of this concept? Defining “middle media” http://www.mediahelpingmedia.org/content...

Voiceofsandiego.org's Support Us page: They describe what your donation "buys" journalistically http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/support... Smart.

@gillianmae I read the story three times. That's how I do it. First read, then comment. It fails to say Dash will continue to be NYC-based.

Uh, @gillianmae? The head (Dash to DC) is sitting there, blinking "wrong." Your story doesn't correct it. And your tack is: blame an editor?

Alas, @gillianmae, your story http://www.observer.com/2009... suggested Anil is moving to DC (not) and the White House is running the new entity (not.)

No, what's dead is declaring things dead when they're shifted about by changes you don't understand well enough to quit calling things dead.

Had to explain the difference between "business models" (I did not write about those) and "sources of subsidy" (did!) http://jayrosen.tumblr.com/post...

The people who call things dead and the people who call surprise! and debunk the first people--the dead callers--are really the same people.

American journalism bequeaths to its practitioners no ideas for how to deal with the 26 percenters. http://www.philly.com/philly...

That New York Observer story on @anildash's new gig heading up Experts Labs sucked. Try Wired instead http://www.wired.com/epicent...

What if usability for readers was THE design principle for newspapers? One firm's experience http://informationarchitects.jp/tages-a... hat tip, @paulbradshaw

If we don't get three geeks for Studio 20's class of 2010, @dansinker, we'll do what they do in newsrooms at 5:30 pm: go with what you got.

What are you doing? was the old Twitter prompt. What's happening? is the new. This is a shift from ____ to ____. Me: private to public. You?

Studio 20 students http://studio20nyu.tumblr.com/ heard from Jim Brady today (@jimbradysp) He helped us with our project for The Economist.

"If you fall I will catch you..." <----- What we all want (time after time.) Goodnight, Twitter. ♫ http://blip.fm/profile...

If you're a news head, this is one to download and listen to in the car or wherever http://www.onpointradio.org/2009... Jarvis & Wolff vs. Brill & Murdoch.

No, @theburgerman. "We HAVE credibility; if we don't watch out we'll lose it" vs."We've LOST credibility; if we don't change we're f*cked."

To me it's a fascinating thing: a Big Media newsroom assumes that "credibility" is something in hand that can be lost.

Quoting @pierre, who's on the Suggested Users List: "I average about 150 clicks on links I post today, same as when I had 10k followers."

From these guidelines, one learns what can happen to your credibility online... you can lose it http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/readers... You can't add to it. Odd.
