Jay Rosen

I teach journalism at NYU, write the blog PressThink, direct NewAssignment.Net, and try to grok new media. I don't do lifecasting but mindcasting on Twitter.
Twitter
I've named the √ punctuation mark of the year. Means "item," or "one in a list." On the Mac it's option V. Give her a go.
Morning crew. Now this is strictly for fans of the genre. Is there a single you'll-miss-us-when-we're-gone cliché missing? http://www.mlive.com/living...
Quoting @tomsp: "Looking at websites of @jayrosen_nyu 's 'young smart newsies' as prepare to launch own..." http://twitter.com/jayrose... Good idea.
"27244: If this is your zip code, then I am your journalist." @johnrobinson says he's gonna give it a go in Greensboro. http://kristinelowe.blogs.com/kristin...
@stevebuttry Here's my one-sentence social media policy for any newsroom: don't be a jerk.
Uh, Twitter? I just thought I'd mention that you are not updating. You've slowed to a crawl. There's no flow. Is something wrong, Twitter?
My interview with Clay Shirky starts with why he wrote "Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable." http://primarysources.journalism.nyu.edu/
Read @davewiner on how open standards get created. http://www.scripting.com/stories... Tumblr just "implemented" the Twitter API, as Wordpress did earlier.
From @jzheel: another view of Demand Media http://www.john-zhu.com/blog... He did some work for the company. Read why he calls it a "content sweatshop."
Rebooting the News # 37 with me and Dave Winer: http://rebootnews.com/2009... Wordpress implements Twitter API, explainthis.org, Winer visits the NYT.
By @underoak at Read Write Web... What It's Like To Write For Demand Media: Low Pay But Lots of Freedom http://networkedblogs.com/p213615...
It's about a red tailed hawk in Manhattan snacking on helpless pigeons. In other words, Wall Street ♫ http://blip.fm/profile... Goodnight, Twitter.
I defy you to name a miss-us-when-we're gone cliché that this column leaves out http://www.mlive.com/living... I say it has everything.
@marcambinder One thing I would say about Mark Penn: as a bullshitter he is always professional.
Any of you geniuses wanna tell me what this means? Burson-Marsteller Makes Commitment to “Evidence-Based Communications.” http://www.earthtimes.org/article...
You're interested in the Net generation in journalism and you're not following my smart young newsies list? http://twitter.com/jayrose... Seriously?
@johnrobinson I thought you'd like that, John. How was my zip code choice? :-) You're going to give it a go in Greensboro?
Hi @Poniewozik. I'm willing to have a lot less Dana Milbank (would none be okay?) and I'll take Dana Priest with the typos http://tunedin.blogs.time.com/2009...
News consumers should be able to pick and choose. I will take any and all unwanted Dana Milbank. - Josette Torres
My first question to @cshirky involved an email he sent me the night he posted "Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable." http://primarysources.journali...
The idea of making predictions fills me with dread and I almost never do it. Guess I'm a control freak.
the explanation for the reason of a prediction is its main value, to the point that the prediction itself is negligible - Mike Chelen
Well said Mike. - ashish
Why Social Beats Search by @fredwilson. Referred to in my Q & A with Demand Media's CEO. Should be read: http://www.avc.com/a_vc...
Some readers wanted me to interview the Demand Media CEO from the worker's perspective. http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive... It would certainly be interesting.
My interview with Demand Media's CEO is up now at Read Write Web: Are Content Farms "Demonic"? http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive... Lemme know what you think.
Disrupted: The Internet and the Press. A video Q & A with Clay Shirky and Jay Rosen in five chapters http://primarysources.journalism.nyu.edu/
Just remember jr.ly came first! The Times and Bit.ly Roll Out ‘nyti.ms’ Short Links http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009...
"Anyone from could have come into the courtroom and tweeted their hearts out. Not a soul did." http://www.pbs.org/mediash... (Except the journalists.)
Key point in Q & A: "What happens when editorial quality requires costs greater that what's available in search revenue?" http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
See Keller's letter http://www.observer.com/2009... Is it "casting aspersions" on WSJ journalists and journalism? I say no, and Robert Thomson is a fool.
The Furor Over Content Farms: good round-up by @jasoncfry, ahead of my interview with the CEO of Demand Media today http://reinventingthenewsroom....
Agreed, @johnmcquaid: no excuse for sloppiness, no virtue to "thin" knowledge of a beat. No avoiding massive failure in our financial press.
