Fri, 16 Mar 2007 04:00:00 GMT

Thomas Crampton of the International Herald Tribune's tech blog Metamedia reckons he's on to something: How come so many French high-tech and VC companies have their offices in the 8th arrondisement of Paris?

Where Next For Newspapers?

Fri, 16 Mar 2007 04:00:00 GMT

"Assuming that most dailies survive the transition, my guess is that in twenty-five years they will be mostly digital; that even people like me of the pre-Internet generation will be largely won over by ingenious devices like Times Reader, supplemented by news alerts, rss feeds, and God knows what else. But whether newspapers are print or Web matters far less than whether they maintain their historic calling." - The conclusion to Robert Kuttner's long and fascinating column in the Columbia Journalism Review on the future of the printed press.

Kuttner approaches declining circulations and rising internet readerships (and revenues) from the point of view of a young blogger, who reads not only the four newspapers Kuttner reads in the morning, but also 200-odd RSS feeds and numerous other blogs.

Behind The Statistics

Wed, 26 Jul 2006 04:00:00 GMT

30 to 40 people day every day in the current Israel-Lebanon conflict. In Iraq, the violence claims 100 lives every day. In the war in the Congo, it's over ten times that: An average day sees 1,200 lives lost in the conflict. So why does the news present the stories in the same running order as above? The BBC's editor's blog has some answers.

Blogs are easy to set up. Podcasts? A little trickier, but not beyond the reach of many users.

Paperboy

Thu, 08 Jun 2006 04:00:00 GMT

Here's a question from a smart youngster. Mathias D�pfner, chairman and CEO of German newspaper publishing giant Axel Springer told of how one of his editors was explaining deadlines to a group of schoolchildren. He described how improving technology allows editors to hold deadlines open at the previously unheard of late hour of 11.00 PM, have the paper ready for distribution at 4.00 AM and on the newsstands for 6.00 AM.

�You say there are no changes to the newspaper after 11 p.m.� a boy asked. �Right� said the editor. �So why don�t you just email me the newspaper at 11 p.m?�
