Here is Catherine Deveny's personal views on her sacking from the Age. A brillantly written column, as to be expected, which raises some important discussion points in today's society (as briefed in the above article).
Keep writing Deveny, I say. I enjoy your work and understand your type of humour and social commentary. Those who don't should probably stop following her on Twitter, as I think you are missing the point that you are choosing to read her tweets as a follower. And I agree, those who did not choose to read her tweets by following her on Twitter and instead read them via a 'news source' website, may have misunderstood her context or humour. Twitter is a social networking tool and not a news source. It disseminates personal 'news' or personal momentary opinions of the tweeters and whether you read those thoughts should be a choice for those who are choosing to follow someone on Twitter. Do Tweets sometimes come into the headlines? Yes, but the media sources that publish those tweets should also accept responsibility for hurting people when they CHOOSE to publish remarks, observations or comments that they believe are offensive. Accessing a mainstream media sources headline page on their website should not lead readers to be exposed to comments already deemed offensive by the said publishing media source.
An interesting and informaitve article by the Australian on social media and its apparent consequences and uses by journalists. The wide-spread uses of Twitter and its far-reaching or sensationalised impact is discussed in this article. There is also a great quote: "social media platform Facebook is for your schoolfriends and Twitter is for the people you wish you went to school with."

very interesting article on Crikey re: readers willingness to pay for online content.
7/10 would not pay anything
3/4 of young people would not pay
"Australian researchers working with the international World Internet Project have conducted their first survey on whether and how much Australians will pay for content online. The results have been released to Crikey, and they are depressing for Rupert. Seven out of 10 Australians would not consider paying anything at all. Young people were particularly against the idea, with three quarters saying they would not pay."

More commentary on Catherine Deveny and the connections apparently made between social media and newspaper columns... are they now the same? Can a writer only get paid jobs after establishing an online presence for oneself via the social media sites but then forgo those rights to freedom of speech once a paid writing position is offered?
in reference to:"her joking remarks were not in the context of her work for The Age. A personal Twitter feed, whether “public” or not, is not a newspaper column."

In relation to social media and its sudden re-catergorising as directly related to one's employment, and as truthful, serious 'columns' in 140 characters... why are there any newspapers still being printed if we can get everything from twitter?

Interesting comments by Deveny on the Age's editorial policies and the consideration of tabloid programs such as ACA leading to her sacking...
in reference to:"Deveny questioned whether The Age's editorial policy was being determined by a tabloid current affairs program."

The whole run down via the age newspaper - which interestingly automatically plays a video of a radio host commenting on one of their columnists comments - at the time) assumingly because the media mogul Fairfax owns the paper and the radio station and several other mainstream media sources. Deveny's comments that her twitter comments have been "projected into the sky and taken out of context" opens an interesting argument into social media and its benefits and consequences for journalists. Twitter it seems can make or break a writer in today's media world...

Very interesting commentary in relation to the Age being spooked by an online story. Fairly ironic stemming from the newspaper that relies on apparently just over a 200 readership quota...
in reference to:"Yes, The Age – supposedly a fearless member of the Fourth Estate, on whom we can rely to stand up to the powerful on our behalf – apparently got spooked by all the negative comments. ON AN ONLINE STORY!"

Some comments regarding 'newsworthy' reporting' and 'facts' used by columnists at major newspapers aka Andrew Bolt and his 'reporting' of mental illness in a fellow columnist and his subsequent insults. The state of mainstream newspapers and contribution of social media into Journalist's online presence is apparent in this page.
