The Pakistani Taliban have admitted to the murder of journalist Misri Khan in Hangu and Ugandan journaists Paul Kiggundu and Dickson Ssentongo were beaten to death recently, according to The Guardian.

The Wall Street Journal plans to "launch a free-standing book review section," but this has caused concerns about "conflicts of interest the newspaper may have given that its parent company, News Corp., owns a major book publisher and a conservative cable news outlet that produces numerous best-selling authors."

The Travel Writers Association announces the Travel Journalism and Photo Competition today, which is open to the public. The winner will get a cash prize, trophy and two tickets to the awards ceremony.
The four categories are Travel Journalist of the Year, Travel Photographer of the Year, Travel Site of the Year and Travel Blogger of the Year.

The Newspaper Society has recently complained about the "restrictions in family court cases." It said that cases covered by the Children, Schools and Families Act made cases "covered by the Act less transparent because they are virtually unreportable."

The Times and Sunday Times are launching Dashboard, which is a feature that allows customers to get notification on news stories, notifications when a previously-read story is updated and a history of previously-read articles.
