07.28.08Jay Rosen explains itWhile this video is particularly apropos to the discussion that's been conducted at least in part here the past couple of weeks, it's relevance extends to online communities of any sort - inside or outside the wall. Without further ado, here's NYU's Jay Rosen moderating the workshop, Using Social Networking in Business Reporting, at the 2008 SABEW Conference. And for those that missed it, here he is again defining citizen journalism. Got it? Hat tip to Stilgherrian for the SABEW link.

07.25.08Is this among the final nails?Wow what a picture. Originally uploaded by scriptingnews I'd argue it's possibly one of the most important pics of the campaign. Click through to Dave Winer's post about it, and then onto the flickr page and look at the full size version. It's quite the image. Germany is a longstanding, important, strategic US ally in central Europe and Obama gets out his biggest crowd yet - news reports are saying 200,000!

07.20.08Dear Hugh Martin, why didn’t you call?Hugh Martin of APN Online has commented on the ongoing artificial journalist vs. blogger thing.

As far as I know, Hugh didn't contact any of the people he criticises - me, Mark Pesce, Stilgherrian and Chris Saad. He accuses us of generalisation, laziness ...
