A message about OJR from USC Annenberg's School of Journalism By Geoffrey Baum: A message from USC Annenberg Journalism School director Geneva Overholser:
Thank you for your interest in OJR. The fast-moving changes in digital media are more compelling every day, and they remain an important area of focus for the USC Annenberg School for Communication.
We are committed to keeping the archives of OJR available online and are exploring ways to continue the School's efforts to increase understanding about the revolutionary transformation of news and info

One of OJR's goals over the years has been to help mid-career journalists make a successful transition from other media to online reporting and production. I'm pleased to say that USC Annenberg will continue to provide support in that area, through the Knight Digital Media Center. I encourage OJR readers to click over to the KDMC website and its blogs,

On the business side, management teams that grew used to local monopolies could not react swiftly enough to protect their market share as thousands of online competitors emerged. Revenue tanked, readership declined and layoffs became a seasonal task at many newspapers.
On the editorial side, many newsrooms blew or missed one major story after another, from the Whitewater "scandal," hitting the sn

By Tom Grubisich: The headline on the Wall Street Journal story about the Washington Post's widely watched venture in local-local journalism on the Web was unambiguous: "Big Daily's Hyperlocal Flop."
So how bad actually is LoudounExtra.com? Let's look.
On the LoudounExtra homepage, I am greeted with this above-the-fold spread:

Times launches sharable electoral vote map By Eric Ulken: Which campaign will get to 270 in November, and how will they do it? The L.A. Times has built an interactive map that allows readers to create and test their own electoral vote scenarios, and then embed those scenarios in their own sites.
(Sample after the jump.)
We're hoping to improve on this as the campaign heats up, perhaps adding demographic info and data on past elections by state. Would love to hear suggestions.

By Robert Niles: For this week's discussion question, I'd like to hear about the academic preparation OJR readers had for their career.
Obviously, being housed by and paid for the Annenberg School of Journalism at the University of Southern California, OJR's not exactly a neutral forum for this question. One might suspect that we'd have a larger-than-expected number of j-school folk hanging around here. But we do get a fair number of readers who did not come up through the traditional journal

The simple Flip Video camcorder heralds a time when every journalist carries a video camera.I bought a Flip Video camcorder for my wife for mother's day. At under $150, it was a bargain. But the primary motivation was having a camera she sould depend upon. Our simple DV camcorder took great video, but seemed to always need charging, or a new tape, and thus wasn't available at the spur of

Specifically, Sree asked for reactions to this statement from Ballmer: "In the next 10 years, the whole world of media, communications and advertising are going to be turned upside down -- my opinion.

By Robert Niles: ... the industry has a problem.You'd think that journalists would be the biggest news hounds around. For the most part, you'd be right. I was talking with some of my Annenberg colleagues at a journalism conference last month, and one asked how many hours a day we each spent reading and watching the news, whether in print, online or on TV. The consensus? About four to five hours a day. But there is one exception to this potential rule: Many journalists despise TV news. They hate

Offshore Outsourcing To India By Maggie Tran Service industry in India is gaining momentum because of the strong emergence of offshore outsourcing to India. Not only the cost and risk that is reduced but customer who is outsourcing to India is getting better quality services due to high competition. At the same time, there are few hurdles being faced by the companies outsourcing to India like the cultural differences, moderate skills and work culture. The colleges in India are now focusing on imparting core skills and values to future engineers and management professionals which would lead them to get better job in the IT sector companies who are providing outsourcing services like software development, web design, HR outsourcing, etc… to clients all across the world.
Compared to other outsourcing destinations, India has got the major chunk of outsourcing business as India has a large pool of young skilled professionals. The professionals working in Indian service sector companies are typically English speaking, technically sound and stable which makes a best fit for US, UK or Canada based software companies. India-based employees have proven a good fit in doing research in the system software development, developing complex database driven solutions and for roles like the help desk and call center support. Talking in macro terms, the same work is costing more to companies located in western countries as compared to India. It’s not just the cost but the time in which the work is executed along with the quality that the Indian outsourcing companies delivers is really commendable.
