NPR Hour by Hour- platform by platform.
NPR posted a slideshow on its Web site that I think will be interesting to content creators and distributors alike; it charts consumption of NPR media across platforms hour by hour. (Take a glance below).
NPR’s Hour-By-Hour Audience By Platform
At first glance, the findings aren’t all that interesting. The results for on-air programming were pretty standard: [...]
FIELD GUIDES: MOBILE JOURNALISM
I put this field guide together with journalist Brian Pellot when we were working with company VeriCorder to test and experiment mobile media production applications for the iPhone. We aimed to explore what had already been done by newsrooms in terms of “mobile” journalism, and to find some organizations/individuals following the movement. I’d be [...]
EASY AS 1-2-3: How journalists can give context to numerical data
Over the next four days, I’ll be attending the 2010 Association of Health Care Journalists Conference in Chicago. I’m excited to learn more about the issues that affect us so directly and how to report on them effectively for the coming year! Today, I attended a few sessions about data, and got thinking…

HYPED UP FOR HEALTH: The 2010 Association of Health Care Journalists conference in Chicago
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m very passionate about the power that cogent, clear and innovative health care journalism can have to make a concrete difference in people’s lives. That’s one of the reasons why I’m incredibly excited to have been selected as an AHCJ fellow for the coming year. Part of membership includes a trip [...]
“Web video”- does it mean you can’t use a tripod?
The other day while watching TV, Robert Kessler and I got into a discussion about how, at times, it drives us crazy to see commercials/television shows/movies where the shot is obviously from-the-shoulder, or shaking, or just not on the tripod for whatever reason. It’s distracting. While we were having this conversation, Grace brought up the [...]
What will J-School be like in #2020?
THE SITUATION
Tonight, the Missouri School of Journalism held a discussion about the state of our current journalism program and where it needs to go in the future. In typical J-student form, the discussion simultaneously took place on Twitter with the hashtag #J2020 to update students that couldn’t be there and to give other people a [...]
MOBILE MEDIA PRODUCTION: Exploring what works, what doesn’t and new possibilities
The VeriCorder in Vancouver experience (read more here) really sparked my interest in the capabilities phones & other small, portable mobile devices have not just for media distribution, but for media production. Because most of my reporting experience is in the realm of video, I’m especially interested in the implications more sophisticated smartphones will have [...]
Olympics over, but W2 just getting started
[There's a quick glimpse of the workspace at the W2 Media + Culture House!]
While in Vancouver, Brian and I had the chance to check out the W2 Culture + Media House, a place for independent journalists, bloggers, and essentially all media producers (journalism and otherwise) to produce content using some shared resources. They opened [...]
VeriCorder in Vancouver: mobile journalism at its finest
As I mentioned in a previous post, I was in Vancouver for the past ten days or so reporting on Olympics-related news while experimenting with cutting edge media production technology. Just wanted to fill you in on exactly what we did, who we were working for, and what the experience was like!
For our [...]
LADY GAGA: Newsrooms take note
You can choose to love her or you can choose to hate her, but you can’t choose to ignore her— at least not completely. And if you’re a journalist intent on finding the new effective business model, you better not try to shut her out. Gaga could be the guide to your success.
