This is one of the key questions in a survey two master students are conducting for a thesis on blogs and trust (you can find a link to it here, in Norwegian). Trouble is, it’s a bit like asking “Do you trust people who talk?” or “Do you trust

Now, you may fault me for this, but it didn't strike me how awkward the abbreviation for a Mobile Journalist (mojo) sounded in Norwegian until I read this post by Eirik Newth. Only then did it hit me that in Norwegian it sounds very much like a kid

I was going to say that if how journalists and bloggers treat information is anything to go by, I'd much rather marry a blogger than a journalist. Because in this respect, journalists are conditioned to be the worst control-freaks imaginable: the kind of person who'd lock

Blogging could be the best thing that's ever happened to journalists, if we can only get our heads around it. I apologise. If you're new to this blog and didn't check the first link of my last post, I might have misled you: I&

I was contemplating this post on newsroom change when I happened on this intriguing introduction to journalism, which I guess you could say is an interesting starting point for looking at how journalism has changed (via DigiDave): [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rvBgaxUXrc&w=425&h=

Interesting response to an article by Mediawatch on whether job cuts are signalling the end of American newspapers: Greg Delzer links it up, Steve Smith says the article is interesting but doesn't deal with the real issue (Smith, the editor of Spokesman Review, which claims to be the

Now, here's a big, heavy question to grapple with early a Saturday morning (at least it's early to me, Saturdays are just about the only day of the week I don't get up at the break of dawn or earlier): As we examine what

Remember the Swedish blogger who brought down a trade minister? Well it seems the story is repeating itself in the UK. Iain Dale suggests it was blogger Guido Fawkes who through is relentless campaign forced Hain's resignation as Work and Pensions secretary, and Guido certainly thinks so himself
