INMA Newsroom Initiative Peter Bale shares his first newsletter, laying out the initiative’s three key themes: business models for journalism, creating high-value journalism, and impact and influence.
The journalism and publishing nerds may find this initiative from the International News Media Association valuable. It is a work in progress and launches about now with a set of so-called master classes featuring some great people from media and hopefully some moderation from me.
INMA Newsroom Initiative Lead Peter Bale describes one of the three key themes of the initiative: business models driving journalism today.
More detail on the same, sorry.
INMA is launching its fifth initiative, the Newsroom Initiative, which will be led by veteran journalist, media executive, and consultant Peter Bale. The initiative will focus on business models for journalism, creating high-value journalism, and impact and influence.
Next week I'll talk about the book, the option for the movie, and the board game.
Ukrainian media leaders tell INMA that revenues are down to zero, printed newspapers have shut down, TV stations united and broadcast one newscast, and Web sites grew traffic. But it’s social media that has become the key source of news.
My mate Greg, who got his media start in the Solidarity movement in Poland, knows a thing or two about unrest and news. Here he tracks the rise in news consumption due to the Ukraine crisis and what media needs to do to gain trust and use it as an opportunity to serve hungry readers.
Not only is Russia keeping its citizens in the dark about Ukraine, but Putin is actually keeping himself and Russian leaders in the dark, as well. Plus, grain prices are also skyrocketing, millions of doses of COVID drugs for immunocompromised people sit unused, and more.
Quite a good summation of the what's going down in Russia.
This week’s intra-mural media kerfluffle revolves around backlash to the idea that journalists need to be brands themselves — apart from the institutions they work for. It was precipitated by an…
This is old news for me and my answer is yes they do. (I really hate question headlines). I have said this for years, especially having subsumed my own brand inside Reuters, which was central to my brand actually. Young journalists, in my opinion, need to think about their personal brand and how they reflect it -- especially in social media.
Journalists leave a bad impression with the public when they call themselves “storytellers,” a new study finds. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati found that roughly 80% of the U.S.
I once loathed the idea of journalists describing themselves as story-tellers but some really are that, in a good way. I aspire to that in some respect but I have come across this view from normal people that "story" connotes fiction which is not what we want to be associated with exactly.
Today is Taylor Lorenz’s first day at the Washington Post, and she’s already doing, arguably, exactly what she was hired to do: She’s stirring up trouble on social media. “Oh my God, can you stand all the drama?” she says, giggling on a phone call with me last night.
Miaow! Pretty ghastly if you ask me but quite entertaining as two egos go at it. I actually admire the way Maggie H got to Trump and showed him warts and all. Taylor Lorenz seems to be very much about Taylor but that may be me being old-fashioned and not understanding her brand.
Nieman Lab has complied a resource list for journalists looking for reliable news coverage and accounts of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Self-explanatory and I will be building on these sets of resources and also sharing them through the INMA Newsroom Initiative. (Did I tell you that I was helping INMA with a Newsroom Initiative?)
You might find this edition of a weekly thing I do for a site in Aotearoa New Zealand has some handy references, especially about Ukraine.
