In line with its new "digital first" strategy, The Guardian released its first Kindle ereader app today. According to Paid Content, the app looks like a black-and-white reproduction of the print paper. The app will be another foray into wireless devices, which already bring in 10% of the Guardian's traffic.

Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post chronicles examples of unethical journalism in the U.S. He says that News of the World is only an extreme symptom of a business that "increasingly pushes the ethical envelope."

The Huffington Post has suspended a journalist and apologized to AdAge for an over-aggregated post, Poynter reported. Simon Dumenco, author of the original post, complained that the summary was unethical and brought him only 57 page views.

Frédéric Filloux walks readers through the ePresse digital kiosk. He highlights the benefits of building and owning a digital newsstand rather than turning to established places to buy online editions. However, he fails to mention that subscribers to ePresse will not have access to the papers' paid digital content online.

Google+ accounted for 35% of Tweeted news links for the week. The Next Web overviewed the top subjects of the week, and pointed out that Google+ surpassed Facebook's integration with Skype.
