http://www.editorsweblog.org/ en Copyright 2008 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 13:37:21 +0000 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification Guardian News and Media (GNM) officially announced today that it will integrate its print and online platforms for News, Business and Sport journalism once it moves into its new premises at Kings Place, London, at the end of the year.

Journalists from those sections will work for the company's three platforms (The Observer, daily Guardian and guardian.co.uk) and will produce text, audio and video.

As gathered during the World Editors Forum study tour in the UK and during our talks with head of editorial development Neil McIntosh, the Guardian's integration was planned collaboratively in the newsroom, as opposed to a top-down model.

Said Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the Guardian and Editor-in-Chief of GNM:

"Our model for integrated working has been designed through a long period of collaboration and consultation. More than two dozen editors from across the three platforms have worked together to design the ways in which they want to collaborate in the future.  It's very important that desk editors themselves have taken the lead: the last thing we wanted to do was impose a model from above.

As has often been the case for other cases of newsroom integration (Fairfax in Australia, the Daily Telegraph in the UK, The New York Times in the US and many more), the Guardian's move to a new building - and thus to rethink its newsroom design - coincides with the formal integration process.

"The move to a new building is the obvious moment to re-arrange the way we work in a way which more closely reflects the patterns of how people read and react to news," said Rusbridger.

Also discussed with McIntosh, the newsroom will redesign will include 'pods', which will group specialists around specific topics. For example, on the International News desk, pods will group reporters by time zones and regions.

The good news is that the Guardian's integration isn't synonymous with layoffs (the company had previously said this could happen) - at least for the time being.

"We've done this without any reduction in headcount.  It is important that news organisations retain quality and trust while being at the forefront of the digital revolution," he added.

-Monitor new commentators by configuring the system so that a user's first three comments require approval. If they are "well-behaved," then their comments can be given automatic approval.

-Post a clear, easy-to-understand comment policy that spells out what's tolerated, and the consequences for breaking the rules. Gahran recommends a three strike policy; three offenses and the user is then permanently expelled from the site or forum.

-Contact users personally and find a way to work with them if inappropriate comments are due to "passion, culture clash, or misunderstanding" rather than maliciousness.

-Monitor the forum or site regularly, an idea which The Telegraph has taken to heart in appointing a Head of Comment and Community."Otherwise you get a dynamic like in a high school class where the teacher never shows up," Gahran writes.

-Be ready to set up intensive emergency moderation if a hot-button issue prompts an influx of commentary.

Other solutions have also been put into practice; Philly.com took another route to manage a crisis with negative comments in early March.

Should the company adopt the idea of compensating journalists based on number of page impressions, journalists would have to take a lower basic salary in return for a commission style bonus, reports Journalism.co.uk.

"We have done some thinking about how we might reward journalists for page impressions. It's such a controversial view I think it would take some time before that comes around but it makes good sense," Muttram said.

Some companies, like Incisive Media, have already put in place similar models. At Incisive, senior editorial staff amongst the publisher's titles receive bonuses for meeting online and digital targets.

A pay-per-view model of the sort proposed by RBI is a mixed bag. Optimistically it could encourage journalists to work harder to get a story. But it is just as likely to lead to sensationalism, as journalists try and one-up each other to attract the most readers.

In the memo, he said "the bald statistics show that women are paid less than men for equivalent jobs at the FT."

However, he also defended this based on the fact the duration of employment was much shorter for women.

"This does not take into account the fact that, on average, our female staff have shorter service records than their male colleagues, which explains the difference," he wrote.

According to an FT spokesman, the difference in pay is less than 10%, but members of the National Union of Journalists claim the FT's own salary survey found a 11% pay difference.

The leaked memo comes in the middle of a management-employee crisis at the FT over staff wages.

Edgerley admitted that at this point the Times' website couldn't possibly fund the 1,275 staffers of the newsroom.

"But NYTimes.com is growing -- in readers and revenue -- at a much, much faster clip than the print paper. Is it our future? You bet."

Can the New York Times really claim it is 'reinventing' itself?

Yes, said Edgerley. "Journalists who used to worry about one deadline a day now have a deadline every minute. They are telling stories not only through words and pictures but also through audio and video and interactive maps and graphics."

Faced with news consumers' changing habits, the NYT's coverage - as for other newspapers - has arguably evolved. "Two years ago, we might have been hesitant to break a scoop on the Web," said Edgerley, "Now we put the story out there and figure out how to advance it for the next day's paper."

Considering the Web is the future for the NYT, one reader asked whether earning a print journalism degree was a waste of time. No, according to Edgerley. The art of storytelling remains.

But "I would be surprised if you don't find yourself picking up all different kinds of Web skills over the arc of your career, and that's good, too."

"Blog pioneers, those 'non-journalists', have revolutionized our approach to news," writes Benoit Raphaël, who blogs and is editor-in-chief of LePost, an experimental UGC venture launched by Le Monde interactif. Many of aspects described below are currently being tested at LePost.

Here's his list of 10 things that bloggers did that fundamentally changed media's approach:

- Conversation: there are now few newspaper sites that haven't opened their articles to comments and conversation. "A story, nowadays, is not only the journalist's article but the article + the feedback from readers," write Raphaël.
- Perfectible news: as a consequence of conversation, online articles are now constant works in progress. There are pros and cons though. Among the negatives, journalists can be tempted to publish improperly checked content.
- Buzz: born with blogs, all online journalists must now be aware of online buzz.
- News without a hierarchy or anti-chronological news: an increasing number of sites such as 20minutes and Le Figaro are now including news feeds, which list news items as they come in, in reverse chronological order. But nearly all traditional media sites continue to set a hierarchy to their news.
- Indexation: because of the structure of blogs, bloggers had to be good at search engine optimization when writing headlines and such, in order to make their content visible. These concerns now also affect journalists. Although "this doesn't mean that journalists must only write to be referenced," write Raphaël.
- Trampoline news: not all news articles need to be long-winded, or on the contrary, be held within a limited amount of space. With blog news, postings can be lengthy and complex, but also simply link back to external content.
- Aggregation: many blogs don't produce original content - they simply refer and point to existing content. Simply look at the Huffington Post, which has been built around aggregation.
- Lists: it's an extremely simple and efficient editorial format that is widespread in the blogosphere...
- Layered writing: thanks to hyperlinks, but also infographics, videos and more, articles can be written to be seemingly shorter, but they actually point to more in-depth layers of related content.
- A new tone: the tone of conversation.

There are certainly other fundamental ways in which bloggers may have changed traditional media coverage online. But few online journalists would still deny that blogs haven't influenced - improved - their own journalistic practices on the Web.

- Unwillingness to accept the public beta concept

Niles points out that when a website launches, it is inevitably imperfect and needs time live in the field, along with user feedback, to perfect its functioning. But journalists are accustomed to having the product be complete when it goes public; after all, it has passed through a series of edits before ever reaching the reader.
 
The general consensus: "Journalists would do better to think like programmers in the sense of recognizing incremental success and not getting too depressed when initiatives fail." It is the kind of new approach in journalism that can be seen, for example, in the Telegraph's brand new online innovation lab.
 
- Being introspective, in a bad way

According to Niles, it is always the same type of people who come to journalism conferences and brainstorm solutions on how to improve the industry, an approach that he compares to the political party who always hires the same losing campaign manager.
 
"The journalism industry typically looks within itself for potential solutions to technical and business challenges online, when it should be looking to people outside the "news" industry who have taken on, and solved, many of the same challenges."

- Monotonous content

Online content cannot be all hard-hitting in-depth profiles and investigative pieces; plain and simple, it will not attract an audience. As Niles puts it, "even the New Yorker runs a hell of a lot of cartoons." The gimmicks that make websites a brand name are important too.

"Journalists need to treat their websites like a dinner party," Niles writes. "You can't just dish out a plate of veggies. You need to invite your readers in, chat with them, serve 'em a drink and get them comfortable."

The latest repressive legislation comes out of Slovakia, where a new media law, set to come into practice on June 1, will give anyone named in an article "sweeping rights to an equally prominent rebuttal," reports the Economist.  Media watchdogs have condemned the law and Slovakian newspapers are protesting by publishing issues with blank, black-framed front pages.

Right-of-reply rules are common in some European nations, but Slovakia's is the most punitive. While the Slovakian government insists the law will make the media more responsible, the concern is the potential exploitation of the law by Slovakia's Prime Minister, Robert Fico, who has a tumultuous relationship with the media.  

Bulgaria and Romania as well have laws on the books that criminalize defamation of public figures. In 2007, 100 cases went to court in Bulgaria for attacks against "honor and dignity," up from 60 the year before. And as of last year, Romania's constitutional court restored legislation making "insult" illegal, although press freedom is also curtailed by the ownership of mainstream media by politically active tycoons.   

Moreover, the annual report of Freedom House, a New York-based lobby group, shows the sharpest decline in media freedom in the world in eastern Europe, behind Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Granted the situation is not as bad as in Russia, where Vladimir Putin shut down a paper after it ran a scandalous story on his love life. It is though a worrisome trend in a region has prided itself on its newfound freedom.

Speaking at the Society of American Business Editors and Writers annual conference, Pearlstein maintained that while local news was important, it can't come at the expense of a business section.

"Every newspaper should have a business section. If your business page is not as good as USA Today's business page, there ought to be a good reason for that."

Pearlstein questioned why editors would choose to run copy written by a "young journalist writing about a local news story" in lieu of a syndicated business column from a well-respected source.
 
"You may feel good as an editor because you're localizing a story... and you have done the best with the resources you have, but it is a mistake to confuse what you can do with the resources you have with what your readers want and need," Pearlstein said. "And what they want and need is a single source every day, basic comprehensive file of news and analysis from a credible source in convenient form."

He also offered up an assessment of the newspaper industry and more specifically the business news field, contending that "there are too many newspapers." In Pearlstein's view, a reduction in the number of newspapers will lead to improvements in business journalism because, in a hyper-competitive journalism market, business sections are the first to go in the name of cost-cutting.
 
"Things will probably get worse [for newspapers] before they get better, but they will get better," Pearlstein said. And they will get better because people will pay for news. Not everyone. We won't have as many customers as before, I suppose. But we will have customers, and they will pay more."

This move is due to a  "smaller than expected lisence fee settlement," according to Press Gazette journalist Martin Stabe, which made BBC want to "reduce duplication of its newsgathering operations."

"The number of roles has been reduced significantly because we've had to make these big savings," said BBC head of newsroom Peter Horrocks. "We've introduced some multimedia roles, but as people develop multimedia skills and once we've got all the platforms sitting alongside each other they can work together most effectively."

There is a a centralized "Media Wire" desk, which monitors audio and video feeds, then transfers stories to the most appropriate outlets, and there is also a centralized planning desk that controls assignments. There will also be a senior editor who will be the "multimedia editor," who will coordinate the different media and mediate conflicts. Each desk will also have a "web conversion producer," who will be responsible for extending stories that were originally produced for online platforms.

The next steps include integrating journalists from the BBC's international news channel, BBC World News, and those responsible for the text-based sections of the BBC News website.

In June, BBC Online journalists will join the converged newsroom, then the online news operation will split into two sections: one will cover world news and move to the second floor of the newsroom with the BBC World News television team, and the other will be the UK operation on the first floor, producing domestic radio and television bulletins.

Most journalists will "continue to work primarily in the media that they have traditionally worked," says Horrocks, "though over time, producers will increasingly work across television, radio and online as staff are put through a training program."

A No. 2 paper "usually keeps the dominant daily on its toes," writes Washington Post columnist Howard Kurtz, by reporting overlooked stories, which are typically more popular in poorer neighborhoods.

The only major cities left with head-to-head competition, excluding those where two papers have the same owner or share business operations with federal approval, are New York, Washington, Chicago, and perhaps Los Angeles, according to Kurtz. The Cincinnati Post is the latest second-place paper to close, when its operations shut down last year.

The Boston Herald's, Boston's No. 2 paper, daily circulation shrunk to 203,000 and on Sunday, it fell to 113,000, in comparison with the Boston Globe's 384,000. The Herald only has 10 city reporters left in addition to those in the feature, business, and sports sections.

"It's almost as if Boston doesn't have a place for its second daily anymore," Boston magazine columnist Joe Keohane wrote, "particularly one that features a constant parade of pervs, solons, swindlers, bums and punks."

Kevin Convey, the Herald's editor says, "The Globe is more likely to write a story about how some government program is going to assist the poor and downtrodden. We're more likely to suggest it's a boondoggle that ought to be bounced off the face of the Earth."

Tabloids are more irreverent and prone to report on big names and scandals (a headline for former governor Mitt Romney's withdrawal from the presidential race was "MITT HAPPENS.") But with blogs unconcerned about newsprint costs, there appears to be little room left for tabloids. And with cities such as Boston becoming more "upscale," it is a question whether tabloids are desired anymore.

"Tabloids in some cases say what other papers only think," says Convey. But, "a lot of people find tabloids to be beneath them. In Boston, where the air is a bit more rarefied and you're closer to Harvard, some people have a problem with tabloids. I think there's a certain nobility in tabloids."

"I don't think it's that Massachusetts has become snootier. The old Herald readers are just leaving the state. The blue-collar exodus has affected the paper," says Herald columnist Howie Carr.

The Herald depends on street sales for three-quarters of its circulation. It shut down its Washington bureau, has old presses that break down, and a 125 person staff that struggles to cover the suburbs or out-of-town reports. Moreover, the Herald plans to outsource its printing and move out of its headquarters into rented space. However, it does not plan on changing its snarky tone.

"I don't think it's time to give up the ghost," Convey says.

The Globe, which won a Pulitzer for arts criticism this month, is not thriving either. The paper, has already cut jobs and accepted buyouts. Its only remaining foreign and domestic correspondents are in Washington.

"We're facing the same challenges everyone else is, trying to figure out what the future of the newspaper is going to look like," says Globe editor Martin Baron. "We have become more local. We have significantly scaled back what we do outside the Boston area. We're realists here. We realize the business is changing."

Mentioning the company in a personal blog is allowed, but blogging about "confidential info and company clients" is not. Also, a personal blog should not be used as a platform to express differences with co-workers, the company, or those that Thomas Reuters does business with. Furthermore, the staff cannot take gifts.

The code includes suggestions to make sure that people nearby will not be able to see employees' laptop screens, such as: "a nondescript bag will draw less attention than a traditional laptop bag."

Thomson Reuters also has a section devoted to fair competition. It states that employees who attend a conference, trade show, association event, or meeting  should "limit informal contact to the extent possible and keep a written summary of any discussions that may have taken place."

Guardian America editor Michael Tomasky believes there is a need for blogging rules and questions the ethics of citizen journalism, while Jeff Jarvis of the blog Buzzmachine has similar beliefs as Robert Niles that "nothing is off-the-record anymore" and that citizen journalists are now necessary.

Jarvis: "Openness for all"
Jarvis begins by saying that rules are "corrupting" for journalism. Journalists should not engage in off-the-record talks and list unnamed sources because they should not help public officials hide anything from the public. Though some exclusives may be lost, there will be more stories with more openness and more reporting, "and politicians will learn that anything and everything they say and do can (and should) be reported," according to Jarvis. 

Furthermore, Fowler knew Obama's remarks "would be newsworthy," says Jarvis, and though she is an Obama supporter, she chose to let the public know about those remarks so that they could form their own opinions. Also, even if Fowler did not blog for the Huffington Post, she could have reported the story through YouTube or other platforms.

Essentially, journalism is evolving, says Jarvis, with coverage expanding from journalists, witnesses, readers, bloggers, etc.  "Journalism becomes less of a product and more of a process," he remarks.

Tomasky: "Call them "witnesses" and drop the whole conceit that they're journalists"
Though he embraces blogs, mostly for elevating debate, Tomasky cannot see the importance of knowing every single word public people say, since people misspeak and say things they don't really mean.

He argues that though "rules" may cause corruption and secrets, anonymity is sometimes the only way a source with important information will come forward, for example, the Pentagon Papers and intelligence assessments about Iraq before the war

Also, he concedes that most journalists would not be for "hiding" things from the public, but they would favor verifying something before it is published, which is "scarcely complicity in secret-keeping," but rather,  "just being responsible."

As for the Obama incident, Tomasky points out that Fowler got through the doors because she donated money to Obama's campaign, but "veteran journalists" were not allowed in the door. Had those journalists been allowed, they would not have kept those remarks secret.

Jarvis counters, "There's also a difference between verifying such a tip with reporting - which we'll all agree is necessary - and playing that tape-recording, which itself was the verification anyone needed. Obama's words and voice spoke for themselves."

He says that these "witnesses," or citizen journalists, now start the story with papers expanding on them and doing more in-depth research. Because veteran journalists may not be allowed through the door, they must rely on "witnessing," which "will still add up to journalism in the end."

Tomasky remarks that "it's a little sneaky and sleazy to be a citizen ... and then getting to be a journalist for the purposes of writing it up."
