Voici quelques articles dont la pertinence/l’intérêt m’ont marqué au cours des derniers jours. Faites-en bon usage ! :-)

Calls on the President to actually USE Twitter (@marshallk ) – Maybe you should try it sometime, Mr. Obama. And while you’re at it, you should ask someone to brief you on the movement for distributed social networking standards. A speaking gig in China would have been a great opportunity to sing the praises of decentralized, standards-based, interoperable, free-market competition in communication technologies. That’s the next part of the Twitter story
How Social Media is Taking the News Local – Early last year, journalists Cory Bergman and his wife, Kate, started a Seattle-area neighborhood network of news blogs called Next Door Media, which won the Online News Association’s first Community Collaboration award in 2009.Cory Bergman said in an e-mail interview that about 80% of their stories come from their neighbors and what they post in the blogs’ forums, comments, e-mail, Facebook and Twitter. Experienced journalists who live in the neighborhood cover stories they find via those methods, using traditional journalism skills to gather and confirm information. When the stories are posted to the blogs, a hat tip is given to the user who originated the idea.
Excellente synthèse du débat Murdoch-Google et de la couverture Twitter de la tuerie de Ft. Hood – In this week’s edition, I look at recent comments by News Corp. honcho Rupert Murdoch about taking his content out of Google searches, and how many people reacted to it. Plus, many news organizations made Twitter Lists to cover the Ft. Hood shooting, but the Austin American-Statesman had an excellent Twitter feed of original and aggregated information. And Salon CEO Richard Gingras talks about how his site will be funding investigative journalism with soft-news features.
A Microformat with Major Implications for The Newsroom – Imagine this: you visit one of your favorite news sites and the homepage displays a notification that an article you read yesterday has been updated with new information, and a story you read last week has been corrected. The notification enables you to click on a link and read the correction, or to be taken to the updated story.

My students don’t have TVs … – CBC News wants to attract younger viewers with its recent relaunch, but as Carleton broadcast journalist instructor Marilyn Mercer found out, many of her students don’t have TVs or cable subscription
“Welt Kompakt” among the first newspapers around the world to integrate Google Wave into its coverage (via @philaloux ) – Welt Kompakt, a spinoff of the German daily Die Welt, is among the first newspapers around the world to integrate Google Wave into its coverage, Revolution Magazine reported yesterday. The addition comes even as the lifestyle daily also invites readers to follow its editors – and contribute to content – via the free tabloid’s Twitter account, Welt Kompakt yesterday announced.
Le New York Times publie un article financé par souscription du public (Spot.us). (via @eni_kao et @couve ) – The New York Times has published a story about the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” by Lindsey Hoshaw that was funded in part through the “community funded journalism” site Spot.Us, which helped Hoshaw raise $10,000 from more than 100 people so she could report the story.

Voici quelques articles dont la pertinence/l’intérêt m’ont marqué au cours des derniers jours. Faites-en bon usage ! :-)

Murdoch veut retirer ses journaux des radars de Google | Rue89 – Dans une interview à la télévision Sky News Australia, Murdoch a déclaré qu’il envisageait de bloquer Google sur l’ensemble des sites de ses journaux, une fois que leur contenu serait payant. A la fin du mois d’août, le magnat avait annoncé qu’il ne croyait plus au modèle de la gratuité (les recettes de pub de son groupe ayant chuté de 14%), et qu’il allait donc passer au « tout payant »
Journaliste et animateur de communauté : deux métiers en un ? (via @narvic) – La profession connaitrait-elle une mutation ? A terme, tous les journalistes animeront leur propre communauté sans qu’il n’y ait plus de rédaction dédiée au community management. « Ils ne travaillent plus pour un support mais pour une marque. Mon rôle, c’est de développer cette marque dans des communautés externes, via les réseaux sociaux ». Antoine Daccord ( Figaro.fr )

10 Projects that Help Citizens Become Government Watchdogs | PBS – there are dozens of initiatives that mine and share the data that influence policy and policy-makers.

The power of Twitter is in the people you follow. Let @nytimes lead you to the best of Twitter ( via @chouing @misspress ) – Excellent travail éditorial de NYT sur base des listes Twitter. One more step to the crowd …
Jaimelesartistes.fr, la bourde à 85.000 € du ministre français de la Cutlure – Le nom de domaine n’ayant pas été renouvelé par l’administration, le site “pédagogique” à la gloire d’Hadopi a été récupéré par ses détracteurs. Vous avez dit “boulette” ?
Google Wave vs Twitter at conferences | – Twitter has quickly become the must-have channel for conference back-chat. Reading what other people tweet during a speech provides an extra dimension as you get a sense of what the audience is thinking. And just like passing notes in class, it’s also a lot more fun than simply sitting and listening. (and empowering – remember that Facebook interview from SXSW’08?)But watch out Twitter. Google Wave is going to take this digitally-enabled conference back-channel a step further.
Keynote Tweet: Participate in the backchannel of your own presentation – So what if your presentation software could send tweets on your behalf that were timed to the slides of your presentation? You could effectively simulcast your presentation through the backchannel as a part of the conversation, adding ‘more info’ links, credits, or anything else you could imagine…

Voici quelques articles dont la pertinence/l’intérêt m’ont marqué au cours des dernières 24H. Faites-en bon usage ! :-)

Mateusz Kukulka quitte le bench 22-A – Le métier de journaliste est un métier formidable mais trimer sans cesse à des tarifs tout sauf honorables n’est plus tenable, surtout lorsque le grand patron de la boîte t’annonce que les tarifs vont diminuer de 12 %… Je ne sais même pas comment on peut qualifier une telle proposition. En tout cas, on peut dire qu’elle est restée au travers de la gorge de tous les indépendants de la boîte. Moi elle m’a décidé à m’en aller.

Après avoir passé quatre longues et chouettes années à la Dernière Heure/Les Sports (surtout), la Tribune de Bruxelles (un peu) et la Libre Belgique (de plus en plus), je n’ai pas vraiment hésité au moment de faire le pas de l’autre côté du miroir.
(…)
A partir du 17 août, je serai l’attaché de presse de Christos Doulkeridis (sur Twitter), secrétaire d’Etat Ecolo au Logement et au Siamu ; ministre-président de la Cocof en charge du Tourisme, de l’Enseignement et du Budget.
At the moment, around 25 percent of all Wave sessions end in a crash (via @JacopoGio ) – Behind the scenes, the reality is sobering for the Rasmussens and the 6,000 or so people actively using Wave. Job No. 1 for the brothers Rasmussen–who are managing the Google Wave project–is making sure Wave is stable enough to accommodate 100,000 new users that will start doing the Wave after September 30, when Google opens up the limited preview to a wider audience
(…)
So why go public now, with so much yet to be accomplished? The brothers Rasmussen have heard the shouts of “vaporware,” and actually chose the opposite launch strategy for the product that launched their Google careers: Google Maps wasn’t unveiled until it was complete.The difference with Wave is that Google believes developer feedback is crucial to its evolution as a product. “We wanted to get people thinking about how we’re going to use it and what people are going to use it for,” Lars said.
Stage de survie à destination de mes enfants | Jean Michel Planche – Excellent article dont je recommande chaudement la lecture à tous les parents/éducateurs qui se posent des questions sur la manière (les manières) d’aborder le web avec des enfants. MUST READ !
