Yea Or Nay: The Scoop On Office Romance By Paula Snowsill By Paula Snowsill, dating expert
It used to be that office romance was taboo, even resulting in being fired for those unfortunate enough to get caught. But things have changed; reality has set in. Fact: most of us spend more than half our waking hours at work, and many companies want even more than that. Fact: we are sexual, companion-seeking creatures. Fact: if we are going to give companies what they want and satisfy our biological urges and emotional needs, we are going to engage in an office romance. Fortunately, many companies today realize, understand, and even support this. Others won‘t go so far as to support it, but they do acknowledge and tolerate it in silence. Of course, there are still those old-fashioned, play-by-the-no-fraternizing rulebook organizations out there.
Avoid them at all costs.
Ladies, if you are engaged in an office romance, or thinking about getting involved in one, here are a few things to help you negotiate the path with grace and aplomb.
1.No personal allowed: No matter how tempting it might be to jot off a quick email about meeting after work, or an instant message to just say hello, DON‘T! Keep the personal for after work.
2.Be friendly, but professional when meeting face-to-face. You don‘t want to act stiff or cold, nor do you want to bat your eyelashes and swoon at his feet. Find that middle ground that allows you to deal with the business of the day in a friendly, cordial way.
3.Be sensitive to co-workers. Of course, everyone in the office knows about you and your “friend,“ so you have to go out of your way to make

your relationship appear seamless relative to the business at hand. In other words, even though they know, behave in such a way as they forget, or it just isn‘t an issue, which it shouldn‘t be.
4.Don‘t go off alone for coffee or lunch breaks. I know, I know, if you weren‘t working together you‘d have lunch all the time. Again, you have to think about your co-workers and the disadvantages of having your relationship in everyone‘s face every day.
The bottom line with your office romance is that you want to keep a low profile with a goal of having co-workers even forget about it. Let them see that you are the consummate professional whose job comes before everything else (even if it doesn‘t).

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. Here are the premises I have. Number one, there will be no media consumption left in 10 years that is

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
