Wired Journalists @sndvegas & APME this week

I'll be at the Red Rock in Las Vegas for SND and APME shortly. Who wants to convene a Wired Journalists meetup? Seems like Tuesday will be the best day for it, with editors and designers both kicking around the premises. 6pm Tuesday for dinner/drinks somewhere convenient at the hotel, between the joint session at the end of the day and the Freedom Forum thing at 7? Let me know… Continue

Chris Krewson on controversy over holding stories for print at the Philadelphia Inquirer

A memo from the Managing Editor at the Philadelphia Inquirer posted on Romenesko yesterday has sparked quite a bit of action in the journo-blogosphere, especially over this bit: "Beginning today, we are adopting an Inquirer first policy for our signature investigative reporting, enterprise, trend stories, news features, and reviews of all sorts. What that means is that we won't post those stories online until they're in print." That certainly so… Continue

PBS MediaShift blog seeks 'embedded' contributors at news organizations

Mark Glaser at MediaShift:
"As the redesign and revamp of the MediaShift site continues apace, I am looking for a few good folks to serve as correspondents for MediaShift, so I can get better insight into industries or worlds that I cover only occasionally. My hope is that with a group of 10 to 15 correspondents, I’ll be able to give my community of readers and contributors more food for thought…

Free music for your slideshows and videos? (Free like beer, free like speech)

A frequently asked question I take from newsrooms is "So can I just use any music I want to go with my slideshow (or video)?" (Putting aside, for the moment, the question of whether or not you *need* any music to go with those 22 photos of local high school graduations.) What are your favorite sources for free, OK-for-commercial-use music? My first and only choice on my list is ccmixter.org, if for no other reason than because the tracks are clearly la… Continue

Further notes on how investigative journalism continues in online-only news organizations

From a New York Times story on VoiceOfSanDiego.org and other onlne-only local news organizations doing original reporting and investigative journalism: The people who run the local news sites see themselves as one future among many, and they have a complex relationship with traditional media. The say that the deterioration of those media has created an opening [...]

Who’s hiring? Blogs.

Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo on plans for 2009: “So January will usher in a new Democratic Ascendancy in Washington. And here at TPM we believe we are uniquely qualified to chronicle it. So to that end we are hiring two new reporter-bloggers to be based in Washington, DC, one assigned to the White House [...]

I did just join. I have a thing against joining too many social networks. But we'll see how it goes...

Hi Ryan,

Yes, I knew you were there speaking, but unfortunately we didn't get a chance to meet. I've been meaning to join Wired Journalists for some time now and decided to jump in last night. Lots of great discussion groups; I think I joined about 15 of 'em. Great stuff here, Ryan, nice work!

Thanks for the welcome. I'll do a blog post as soon as I get a chance. We have learned much.

I am very new here.i ended up at your page rather mysteriously when i was looking for a partner to produce a film script. If this is not the right place to find a producer or a partner for that matter, please recommend another website or community for me. Remember BLOOD DIAMOND, THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND, HOTEL RWANDA etc? The script my company as developed is better than those.

Rejoined actually. I thought I had updated with my new email address, but when I filled it in trying to sign in, it asked me to fill out a profile. I did so hastily, thinking I was being asked to update, but when I got the confirmation, I realized I had rejoined.
