John Hartigan’s Punchy attack on new media – Crikey

John Hartigan’s Punchy attack on new media – Crikey


A story by Bernard Keane @ Crikey discusses the below:

"News Ltd CEO John Hartigan has used a National Press Club address this afternoon to launch a savage attack on online media while threatening to close News Ltd’s Press Gallery offices and focus less on “the politics of politics” and more on “hyper-local news” such as shopping and traffic information...Hartigan attacked sites such as Crikey which, he claimed, have little original content and offer only commentary on mainstream media publications, before going on to spruik News Ltd’s new comment website, The Punch. He also several times endorsed the views of web entrepreneur and blogging critic Andrew Keen who has called online journalism “digital narcissism” that “poisons debate”, lowers its users and fails to maintain a proper traditional distinction between journalists and readers."

It serves a good purpose to offer the other side, namely the large mainstream media editors who are looking at social media as a nuisance and not something that should be utilised for their own benefits. It also explains why print media is struggling with readership when it has such bias views on media in general and insults its readers for blogging or using social networking sites, as it "fails to maintain a proper traditional distniction between journalists and readers." Since then it seems Hartigan has more problems that blaming the bloggers for his readership levels and needs to find someone else to blame for his ill-management of the Melbourne Storm also.

Newspapers and bloggers: isn’t there room for everyone? – Crikey

Newspapers and bloggers: isn’t there room for everyone? – Crikey

"But one day along comes this thing called The Internet, promising to democratise the flow of information, and something terrible begins to happen: the plebs grow bold and start to rise up, empowered by having their voice heard, unworried about profit or business models. If you were that media baron what would you do? Would you adapt or would you atrophy?

When this news and journalism environment started to change dramatically about a decade ago, newspaper media companies initially refused to change with it. They whacked their stories online, slapped a couple of ads up with them, and sat back waiting for the rivers of internet gold to flow. But people don’t use the internet like they do traditional media forms, and most attempts by traditional players to adapt to this new form have been contrived and poorly executed. The failure to adapt a product to a market is bad business, but the petulant bitching and moaning from dinosaur media chiefs who want the world to stop moving so they don’t have to get off their arse and move with it is just bad form." Scott Bridges

A great article on Mainstream Media and the response to the internet - namely blogging and the 'power' that was taken away from big business papers when 'ordinary people' started to blog and share their stories, opinions and actual news.

Terms of Service - Posterous
A new social media site I discovered in an interview and thought I would look it up. It seems pretty good for a few reasons:
a) you retain copyright of material posted (big plus)
b) you can post to all of yur social media sites at the same time (so you look like you are very busy and across all of your social media responsiblities i.e. twitter, facebook, flickr, blogger etc etc) And it will register and configure your domain name and link it back to posterous.

It will definantly same time in this latest job that we have to keep up to date with so give it a go!
