- Which came first, network news or public’s short attention span?
  Posted by VincebusEruptum from Scholarsandrogues
  A principal reason for the decline by half of network evening news ratings is the public’s short attention span. That’s what former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw told CNN’s Howard Kurtz on his “Reliable News” program Sunday while discussing the low ratings endured by the CBS Evening News under anchor Katie Couric...

- God Forbid a Nobel Peace Prize Winner Should Try to Make Peace
  Posted by RussWellen from Scholarsandrogues.wordpress
  Life as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate is not as awash in laurels as you might think. Aung San Suu Kyi (1991) has spent 10 of the last 17 years under house arrest. Meanwhile, Mohamed ElBaradei (2005) has been the object of an ongoing campaign by the administration to make him look like a fool.

  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.

- Maureen Dowd Unintentionally Writes Self-Parody
  Posted by ptristam from Mediabloodhound.typepad
  Dowd has come to resemble a substance abuser who refuses to admit she has a problem, in her case an addiction to the intoxicating schadenfreude she seems to derive by depicting top Democratic pols as fey girly men.

  Networks should provide even more graphic coverage of what’s actually going on in Iraq and never shy away from the gruesome toll the war is taking.

  Securities and Exchange Commission chairman Christopher Cox has announced a task force to make financial reporting easier for investors to understand. But questions are being raised whether this will erode investor protections.

- NewsCloud Publishes Reporting on YouTube's Comedy Central Takedowns
  Posted by Jeff from Idealog.US
  Tonight, NewsCloud publicly released its reporting engine on YouTube's ongoing takedowns of Comedy Central material with its Summary Reports and Video Search. Our video search can only be used to find clips by keyword to determine whether the videos are still available or not. While Viacom has released public statements saying that they were targeting YouTube with requests to take down whole episodes, I found the takedowns to be fairly indiscriminate. For example, 63% of Daily Show clips (and 58% of all shows) taken down were less than 5 minutes in length. We also wanted to get a sense of the number of page views just our subset of video clips had generated for YouTube over time - this also represents potential lost revenue for Viacom. Just the subset of broken clips with view count information left in the Google cache represents 14,867,004 viewings. While the live videos at YouTube represent 23,322,598 viewings. Or, 38,189,602 combined.
