Why Journalism's Identity Crisis is an Opportunity for Peace
Journalists are suffering from an identity crisis. It is increasingly becoming harder to determine who they are, and what marks them out as different to the myriad of storytellers and content producers that the Internet has given a voice to.
The worldwide web has facilitated some remarkable changes in media consumption. Video and audio are now integral parts of storytelling. Blogging and social media tools like Facebook and Twitter have created a network of informal correspondents… Continue

Icy pre-Cancun blog from the banks of the Rhine
This is the icy view from my office at Deutsche Welle on the banks of the Rhine this afternoon. It's the ice blogger's favourite weather, although most people around me are complaining it's too early for snow and asking if it's got anything to do with climate change.

Without words or sounds an entire story is told from beginning to end. There are no instructions that… Continue

Apple teams up with News Corp for the release of The Daily the first iPad-only news publication. Rupert has hired approximately 100 journalists for the publication and is reported to be lead by… Continue
