      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.

      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.
