Reputed Media and Other Agencies Decried By Sathya Sai Baba?s Defenders
2009-10-27 00:21:00 Those who defend Sathya Sai Baba and his global cult would tirelessly denigrate and defame all who seriously question him and his Sathya Sai Organization. Quite apart from former followers and other critics, their targets include leading journalists and broadcasters of repute who have investigated Sathya Sai Baba and his sect. This fact alone suggests the cultic mind at work. Being one of those centrally involved in approaches to Interpol, media, UNESCO, and other agencies in attempting to bring third party scrutiny to the Sathya Sai Baba and his core accomplices, I have repeatedly seen how demanding journalists and officials of these professional organizations are. Media include the BBC, DR, CBC, ABC, SBS, India Today, Times of London, Telegraph, the Guardian, the Age, Gatopado, West Australian, (Adelaide) Advertiser, and newspapers in Europe, Canada and and still others.
How to Save Newspapers and Journalism ¦ Barry Ritholtz [del.icio.us]
2009-09-12 10:34:00 We know that the annual subscription model won?t work outside of finance. And that there will be numerous papers that won?t survive, either on or off line. Free content is going to continue to siphon off readers and ad dollars, albeit modestly. ?Revenue from newspaper classified ads is off nearly 50 percent in the past decade, a drop that comes to almost $10 billion. Only a fraction of this loss is because of Newmark?s company, but as the largest online classified site, craigslist is easy to blame,? says Wired. Total revenue (from all sources) fall last year was $7.5 billion. And this means that total (free) reader numbers will be going down in the future; Papers need to do the math to ensure the loss of advertising revenue from non-paying readers is offset by subscriber revenue.

I guess the Truth Doesn't SELL! Newspapers really think their readers can'
2008-08-02 19:06:00 It amazes me at times the lengths some newspapers will go for the all mighty buck! Episcopal Life was reporting about a day at their Lambeth Conference. They were talking that day about the Violence Against Women, and the silence of domestic violence within the church. The popular press in England decides that we need to take portions of what Bishop Catherine Roskam said at the conference with a nasty little twist. I guess the truth doesn't sell enough newspapers or something. Its pretty sick! They are attempting to say she mentioned that pastors beat their wifes in certain parts of the world, because its morally acceptable there. YEAH! Okay then! They must be deaf and their reading skills must certainly be lacking. I wonder if their supervisors are aware! It makes their newspapers look bad that's for sure!Over at Simple Massing Priest, and Blogging Regiliously are just two places of many that seem outraged at the lies that the newspapers are trying to convey!Here is th...
Sf Chronicle Losing $1 Million A Week - Newspapers In Trouble
2008-06-23 08:28:00 According to today's NY Times, the newspaper industry is in trouble, as papers suffer from competition from the Internet. The SF Chron has been losing $1 million a week since last year. As Time O'Reily wrote last year, he reads the online version of the SF Chron 95 percent of the time, and the "offline" version about 5 percent of the time. That's probably true for me, as well, but Tim and I are both in the Internet business. What can be done? Well, my answer is "nothing" -- the offline news people have to adjust to this New Media world, as do institutions and PR people who have been oriented toward using offline newspapers to get the news out. This also includes sports leagues like the NFL, which has a long standing relationship with such organizations as The Associated Press, but not the Huffington Post, which draws 14 million visitors a month. The SF Chron seems to be trying to find its way on The Internet, where it gets about 5 million visitors per month. That's still f...

But the new carrier will never get off the ground. It’s a one-day advertising campaign about a fake airline by Philadelphia Media Holdings, the papers’ owner, and Gyro ad agency.

Qatar Newspapers: Which is the best?
2008-05-31 21:16:00 I have subscribed to the Gulf Times for some time, and I chose it because, although I often prefer the Peninsula?s style of writing (which is a bit more spiky), I have generally found that the Gulf Times has better coverage of Qatar stories.However recently I have noticed Qatar stories popping up in the Peninsula (through my Google alerts for Qatar, which pick up stories from both newspapers) which I haven?t noticed in the Gulf Times. I also have friends who prefer the new paper on the block, The Qatar Tribune, citing its coverage of international issues. It seemed like a good time for a comparison, so on Friday I purchased and read all three newspapers.I started on the front page, and quickly noticed that both the Tribune and the Peninsula carried the story of the Kahramaa?s network expansion plans. With a planned QAR 10.2 billion of contracts, this could be considered important, from a financial view at least. However, the Gulf Times relegated to this the third page, replacing it ...

Here is Robinson, (who edits the News-Record in Greensboro, North Carolina) explaining why he missed a retired editor speaking about the good old days and proposing another old-fashioned remedy for the news industry’s ills: Doubling the size of reporting staffs would certainly serve the community. The more journalists reporting the good, the bad and the ugly, the better.But those are the effects of problems facing newspapers not the cause. While good journalism has not changed markedly since the 1990s, technology has.So has the audience. So have people’s habits.Not addressing those changes in discussions about journalism and newspapers is like talking about television as if there were still only three channels.Those changes: the economic distress faced by traditional newspaper advertisers such as department storesthe loss of classified revenuesthe splintering of the attentions and interests of the audiencethe...

Learning from Newspapers
2008-04-17 22:08:00 If you are a blogger there are a lot of things which you can learn from newspapers. When it comes to newspapers, usually space is premium. This means that an 100 word article with the same information as an article with 500 words is a lot more preferable. Too often bloggers forget about this important rule and try to write posts which are simply too long. We live in times when people value their time, because there are hundred things to do that you can choose from. When you write articles make sure that they are short and concise. In my case I always try to present some advice or information in my posts and I make them short enough that people can read them in a minute. Personally I am really bored by blogs which posts are too long, because I am usually visiting blogs to acquire some information, not to fill up my time.

Editor & Publisher to Daily Newspapers: Drop Dead
2008-04-02 16:03:00 "I feel a bit guilty about this. After all, I write for and offer advice to newspapers on an industry website. I support the newspaper industry and hope that it can come through the current downturn and learn to thrive in the new media world. So, wouldn't I want to support it by continuing to pay for printed newspapers to land on my driveway each morning, as a sign of solidarity with the industry? After all, print revenues are keeping the industry afloat, since online revenues can't yet match print's. Umm, no, actually."-- Steve Outing, "Stop the Presses" online columnist for Editor & Publisher, explaining why he cancelled his subscription to his local newspaper, the Boulder Daily Camera. (For the record, Mr. Media still gets two daily newspapers delivered to his driveway everyday, the St. Petersburg Times and The New York Times. That's not to say the handwriting isn't on the wall, but we're not ready to look at it that closely yet.)
