"Es un atropello al arte y la cultura del pueblo" El mundo taurino se rebela contra el posible veto a la fiesta en Cataluña - Rosa J.C.

The government is increasingly monitoring Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites for tax delinquents, copyright infringers and political protesters. A public interest group has filed a lawsuit to learn more about this monitoring, in the hope of starting a national discussion and modifying privacy laws as necessary for the online era - Rosa J.C.

Video didn't kill the radio star, and the Internet won't destroy news organizations. It will foster a new, digital business model. - Rosa J.C.

A Eulogy for Old-School Newsrooms They were loud, chaotic and politically incorrect. They weren’t very diverse. But they sure were full of journalistic passion--and fun. - Rosa J.C.

In the age of social media, what should be the role of the New Journalist -- not one who works for a traditional news organization but a social entrepreneur launching a media project for a nonprofit? The New Journalist at a nonprofit or startup will be a storyteller and multimedia producer but will also have to take on additional roles: • entrepreneur • conversation facilitator • social marketer • futurist • metrics & research nerd - Rosa J.C.

The collapse of the media’s business model demands a critical consideration of what we want news for and how it can be delivered - Rosa J.C.

The consumers are dead! Long live the multipliers! - Rosa J.C.

It’s not too often that legacy media learns a new mass communication tool along with its audience. But that’s exactly what’s going on now because of Google Wave. Although it’s still invitation only and in preview, the real-time wiki collaboration platform is being used by some media companies for community building, real-time discussion, crowdsourcing, collaboration both inside and outside the newsroom, and for cross publishing content. - Rosa J.C.

EL CUERPO DE LAS MUJERES es el título de nuestro documental de 25 minutos sobre el uso del cuerpo de la mujer en la televisión. Empezamos de una urgencia. La constatación que las mujeres, las mujeres reales, están desapareciendo de la televisión y que son reemplazadas por una representación grotesca, vulgar y humillante. - Rosa J.C.

From blogs to vlogs, Facebook to MySpace, Twitter to Flickr, Delicious to reddit, words and images bounce around the globe, spreading wide and fast. Journalists are adapting to the ever-shifting terrain carved out of these conversations. In this issue they describe changes in how they work and what they produce, explore emerging ethical issues, and propose principles of active engagement. In Words & Reflections, essays touch on foreign news reporting, Afghanistan, netroots, objectivity, journalists’ political leanings, and Cold War spies. – Melissa Ludtke, Editor - Rosa J.C.

Desde que el libro quedó a disposición de los usuarios en la madrugada de ayer jueves y el momento en que escribo esta nota, el libro “Tienes 5 segundos” ha sido “bajado” desde los dos servidores en que los dejé, un poco más de tres mil veces. - Rosa J.C.

Today, blogs tracker Technorati released a new report on the state of blogging, and it appears that a respectable number of bloggers out there manage to eek out a living. According to a survey of 2,828 bloggers nationwide, 13% of the respondents do blogging full time. Another 15% blog to supplement their income. Basically, 28% of the people who blog get paid for it — which is a staggering number, if you think about it. Every fourth blogger out there is getting paid for promoting brands or driving new leads to their businesses. That — at a time when most advertising- and marketing-dependent businesses, such as traditional media, suffer. Clearly, bloggers are doing something right. - Rosa J.C.

Durante la campaña electoral Barack Obama ya había hecho algún guiño al segundo idioma de los Estados Unidos, el español. También había cruzado algún saludo fugaz en nuestro idioma. Hasta este 13 de octubre la web de la Casa Blanca tenía algo de información en español, estática, institucional y sin demasiado atractivo. - Rosa J.C.

Recorremos España para tomar el pulso electoral a los ciudadanos. Nuestras reporteras Rosa Jiménez y Beatriz Sánchez te traen de primera mano los testimonios, quejas y preferencias de los votantes. - Rosa J.C.

El panorama de la prensa es desolador: En Estados Unidos y durante los últimos cuatro años, ¡porque el declive de los periódicos se inició antes de que estallara la crisis financiera!, han dejado de imprimirse y difundirse 130 periódicos. En Europa, aunque el declive (¿o agonía?) de la prensa ha llegado con cierto retraso, los números rojos o el descenso de los ingresos ya caracterizan las contabilidades de la mayoría de las editoras. Prácticamente ninguna cabecera se salva. En España, los todopoderosos El país, El mundo, ABC o La vanguardia ya aplican medidas drásticas, desde despidos hasta recortes de gastos, incluido el de papel (reduciendo páginas) y externalizan servicios. Otro tanto ocurre con los grandes rotativos de Alemania, Francia, Gran Bretaña, Italia… - Rosa J.C.

Rupert Murdoch is going to battle against the Internet, bent on making readers actually pay for online newspaper journalism–beginning with his London Sunday Times. History suggests he won’t back down; the experts suggest he’s crazy. Is he also ignoring his industry’s biggest problem? - Rosa J.C.

Layar, the first AR browser on mobile, is taking us one step closer to Vernor Vinge's vision of simultaneous virtual "overlays" on the actual world. By holding your camera phone in front of you and panning an area, information about your surroundings is layered on top of the camera’s display view. Here’s a video that shows Layar’s amazing capabilities using an Android phone: - Rosa J.C.

The BBC is planning a radical relaunch of its website to include more social media. BBC sources have told MediaGuardian that the new-look site will launch by March. As soon as this weekend the BBC could add social media applications to its Strictly Come Dancing online coverage. - Rosa J.C.

Nothing brings home the clash of cultures between “new” and “old” media like the debates over social-media policies at mainstream publications like the New York Times and the Washington Post. Earlier this year, the Times was in the spotlight for its attempt to develop a policy on Twitter in the wake of some indiscreet twittering about internal staff meetings. Last week it was the Post’s turn: The paper introduced a new social media policy that restricts its staffers from posting their opinions on Twitter (or any other social network), after one of its managing editors posted his thoughts about certain political issues such as health care and Congressional term limits. - Rosa J.C.

All around were satanic representations of President Barack Obama in whiteface, as a Nazi, an African witch doctor, a Marxist, a Muslim, and Che Guevara’s best friend—but Kathy Golya had never felt so good about the new administration as she did right now. It was a day after Representative Joe Wilson’s outburst in Congress, and the South Carolina congressman had given voice to Golya’s inner heart. He hadn’t just said it on the Internet, he had said it to the president himself. - Rosa J.C.

Google, admirada y querida empresa (conviene siempre anticiparse con este disclaimer) descubrió hace tiempo un recetario basado en el ingrediente “tú cubre que yo cobro”. Realmente es admirable cómo están llevando el concepto a los confines de la red con indiscutible éxito en base a una evidente superioridad empresarial, y, en consecuencia, de producto. Resulta imparable. - Rosa J.C.

Media executives lament what the Web has done to their business. But that complaint conveniently ignores the dismal financial performance of most media conglomerates in the pre-digital era. Until media companies are willing to get back to basics and jettison the flawed thinking that has guided them over the past two decades, they will continue to disappoint their shareholders. - Rosa J.C.

Trust in news media has reached a new low, with record numbers of Americans saying reporting is inaccurate, biased and shaped by special interests, according to a survey set to be released Monday. - Rosa J.C.
