Tebowmania was the national obsession with the Denver Broncos’ quarterback. But it could also be described as an affliction besetting the media.
Everybody at Penn State should be proud of this guy for having the guts to speak out on national television.

Unbelievable character, unbelievable story. Kudos to Yahoo! Sports for spending months on this investigation.

Amazing analysis of two news website front pages.
It’s not like we invented original reporting on television. Oh, wait: yes, we did.
One of the things I like about Twitter is that it behaves in many ways a lot more like a newsroom than a newspaper. … Rumors happen there, and then they get shot down — no harm no foul.
But what then sets our profession apart from EVERYONE else on Twitter? Why would somebody follow a journalist on twitter over a random guy that will pass along rumours as they appear in his or her timeline?
We’ve hit more than a million ‘likes’ for our facebook page! To mark the occasion we’ve compiled a special ‘Thank You’ video from all the team at BBC World News. We hope you enjoy it.
*Bye for NoW: The last edition of the News of the World is being published, its front page declaring: “Thank you & goodbye. (source)
Clever tagline, newsflick. (Also, thanks to poculum for sending this along earlier.)
Someone’s gotta go through this edition with a fine-tooth comb and look for hidden messages against Rebekah and Rupert.
“The world’s greatest newspaper”? Then why is it closing again?
Oh my god, delay that! What are you doing? I was joking! Don’t do that! Did we delay that?
Come on, take a chance, have faith. I’m behind you. If you fall down I’m gonna catch you. Trust me.
What We Know About the Business of Digital Journalism
Columbia Journalism School releases report about digital media business
The report argues that news organizations must do more to embrace the unique attributes of the Internet rather than trying to adapt Web offerings to legacy business models. The authors suggest that news organizations and their audiences “regard digital platforms as being in a constant state of transformation, one that demands a faster and more consistent pace of innovation and investment.”
Among their recommendations:
- Digital platforms should not simply repurpose existing news content. They should feature unique, high-value content designed specifically for digital media.
- Media companies should redefine the relationship between audience and advertising. Journalists must better understand their existing and potential audiences, and strive to ensure deeper loyalties.
- Media companies ought to rethink their relationships with advertisers and gain a fuller appreciation for how advertisers now reach their customers via social media, new-media ads and search engine optimization.
- News and marketing companies should move beyond the impression-based pricing systems that dominate online advertising, and forge new models that integrate digital ads and social-media outreach.
- Media companies must restore content value to digital advertising and move beyond the decades-old relics that convey little information or appeal to consumers.
- News organizations must balance vigilance about content theft with the realization that most aggregators operate within the bounds of copyright law. They should accept the fact that this generates value for readers, and develop thoughtful approaches to understanding what topics best lend themselves to aggregation.
- Integration of a legacy division—news content or ad sales—with new media is not for everyone. Larger enterprises should consider creating separate digital staffs, particularly on the business side.
- Any news site that adopts a pay scheme now should have very limited expectations for its success—at least on the Web. Requiring digital readers to pay may help to slow circulation losses, but that is hardly a long-term solution. A pay plan merged with an ambitious strategy to improve users’ experience on mobile platforms has a much better chance to succeed.
