      The value of "alt journalism" is compromised when it reflects shoddy thinking, careless use/vetting of source material and an absence of ethical grounding. If J schools want to exert a productive impact on the future of news, they need to evolve their curricula to train students for the free-for-all they’re going to be immersed in upon graduation.

    • CJR: What Kind of News do People Really Want?

      Posted by Jeff from Columbia Journalism Review

      It is disheartening that only about a quarter of the American public, on average, finds news compelling on a daily basis. But contrary to popular belief, “there is scant evidence that during the last century - despite major changes in the news ‘menu’ - the American audience has moved toward a diet of softer news.

    I-35W bridge downed by design flaw; infrastructure issues fade from headlines

    Thanks for bringing up this issue—here are some thoughts that are not about “gusset plates”

    Extremely low frequency, or ELF, waves can be used for submarine communications and for probing the planet; because of the way they propagate, HAARP can cover “a significant fraction of the Earth.” The waves can be used for “seabed exploration” and even locating mines underwater, not to mention “underground target detection.”

    Sorcha Faal reported at the times of the bridge collapse there was a small tremor registered by the Russians the bridge is two or three miles from the center of a HAARP experimental center

    Russian Intelligence Analysts are reporting in the Kremlin today that Britain%u2019s Prime Minister, Gordon Brown and numerous leaders of the United Kingdom%u2019s business community were %u2018targeted%u2019 in a failed assassination attempt which instead of downing the aircraft due to take the British Leader on his first state visit to China instead brought down a British Airways 777 upon its landing approach to London%u2019s Heathrow Airport.

    According to these reports, Prime Minister Brown%u2019s flight to China was delayed due to British billionaire Sir Richard Branson%u2019s late arrival at Heathrow, as he was one of the many business leaders accompanying Brown to China, and which allowed the British Airways 777 flight from China to land first.

    But, upon the British Airway 777%u2019s attempt to land, and as examined by Russian Military Scientists, a %u2018non-nuclear micro-burst%u2019 electromagnetic pulse (EMP) was %u2018fired%u2019 which then caused a catastrophic engine failure due to loss of power causing that flight to plunge to the ground prior to reaching the runway,Reported by Sorcha Faal http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1063.htm

    In 2003, then Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld signed a document called the Information Operation Roadmap which outlined, among other things, the Pentagon’s desire to dominate the entire electromagnetic spectrum.

    NY Times to stop charging readers for TimesSelect content

    I hope this is true -- it would be really nice to have Paul Krugman's columns back on the free internets!
