This course invites students to explore recent shifts in media technologies, institutional structures and the organization of publics that are affecting journalism's role in society. At the same time, the course will introduce you to the techniques of journalism in digital media and offer you conceptual and practical tools with which to join the fray. By the end of the quarter, you should have a clear sense of the various ways journalists have taken up digital media and a sense of how you might use those media yourself. | source : socialmediaclassroom.com
But the study also found a modest rise in blogging by those aged 30 and older. The increase from 7% in 2007 to 11% in 2009 is believed to be responsible for the prevalence of blogging within the overall adult internet population remaining steady at roughly 10%. | source : news.bbc.co.uk
Yesterday, in response to allegations of DMCA violations, several popular music blogs were wiped off the face of the net. They were hosted by Google via Blogger, and it was only after they were completely erased that the owners received emails to the effect of “We got one too many complaints — you’re deleted. Love, Google.” It’s trending around the net as “Musicblogocide 2010,” but that puts too much of it on Google’s lap, I think. After all, it’s the clumsy and outdated DMCA that actually led to the blogs being deleted. | source : www.crunchgear.com
The reason bloggers don’t often plagiarize is that we don’t need to. We can make a point by piggy-backing off of factual statements or opinions from others, and easily make it clear that we didn’t say it first. If Posner had simply hyperlinked back to his sources in his Daily Beast stories – a process that I suspect is much more quick and easy to carry out than copying, pasting, and re-writing bits of the source material – we probably wouldn’t be talking about ‘Gerald Posner, Plagiarist now.’ | source : trueslant.com

Social networking sites like Facebook are much easier, and you can take or leave them on your own terms. If you update regularly, great! Your friends and such appreciate it. But if you don’t bother with it for a few days or whatever, it’s not the end of the world. You don’t lose readers by not updating, because the paradigm is different — you have “friends,” not readers. Your Facebook “friends” will still be there, no matter how often or little you update. And while it may be nice to grow your friends list, it’s not the end of the world if you keep it small. | source : psychcentral.com

Comme le célèbre espace gazouillant à 140 caractères par message, Yammer permet aux salariés d'échanger des messages courts, hors courriels, au sein d'un réseau privé sécurisé. Gains de productivité: ils échangent non pas sur ce qui les émeut ou sur ce qui pourrait les mettre en valeur - le bruit qui brouille le signal sur Twitter - mais sur l'état d'avancement de leurs tâches respectives. | source : www.journalistiques.fr
