How accessible are Britain’s online newspapers? Part 1 - Daily Express - currybetdotnet - 6 November, 2007

Martin Belam’s first episode in a series looking at the accessibility of UK newspaper sites. Today he’s looking at the Daily Express, which doesn’t fare too well.

I love this blog - a lot of work goes into presenting original content along with some well informed comment on what he’s looking it.

SacredFacts: The future of reporting…

Richard Sambrook pulls out some key quotes from David Leigh’s recent Sambrook lecture. It’s well worth reading the full text - it’s a quick joyful read that makes some good points about the dying “craft” of journalism.

DLTQ.org » Blog Archive » The Lumiere Manifesto, the importance of Momentshowing, and the future of it all for me.

Bit of a ramble from a long-time videoblogger, but an interesting personal moment captured nevertheless and a look at a vlog I first watched many years ago.

Machines

In May 2006 Seth and I spent some largely miserable days in Boston. While we were there we visited the MIT Museum. One of the rooms was full of lots of cool kinetic sculptures. Here is video of two of them. The background music is a little bit of Black Star by the Modified Toy Orchestra.

Convenience Wins, Hubris Loses and Content vs. Context, a Presentation for Some Music Industry Friends at FISTFULAYEN

Convenience Wins, Hubris Loses and Content vs. Context, a Presentation for Some Music Industry Friends at FISTFULAYEN

This post has been all over the Internets. I’ve read too many things making pretty much these arguments before to be super excited about it, but it’s well argued and the presentation was initially made to the people who need to be convinced. Or at least, they need to be convinced or else by-passed completely.

The London freesheets and the web - Part 5: Messageboards and comments - currybetdotnet - 2 October, 2007

The London freesheets and the web - Part 5: Messageboards and comments - currybetdotnet - 2 October, 2007

More from Martin Belam on freesheets. I was in London for the weekend and the freesheets held a new fascination for me. I also saw how the More or Bore vote works and I totally misunderstood the concept. The one I saw wasn’t a vote between two people, but just a straight “is this person boring or should we commission more from them?”. A guy who wrote an utterly mindless and misogynistic article on Friday got an 80% More result.
