Anger over Irish Mail on Sunday’s ‘Tribune edition’
Big furore over this; I can’t recall it ever being done before. But it’s no surprise that the Mail are behind the stunt. I mean, there’s mockery at your competitors’ misfortunes, and then there’s a direct attempt to mislead consumers. Gutter journalism at its worst. Permalink ·
New papers: the San Francisco Panorama etcetera
Haven’t yet opened my own copy of the Panorama. Yet no matter how good it is as a product in and of itself, if it’s a prototype for what a daily newspaper should be it was ill-conceived from the start: there is simply no way that amount of effort, that amount of variety, can go into a daily publication. It’s a pipe dream. Now as a weekend paper, that’s a different matter. Permalink ·
Associated files losses on Irish division
Considering the sheer number of people I’ve seen around Dublin reading the Irish Daily Mail — the filthy rag that it is — I’m sure they’ll make the money back soon enough. Permalink ·
Jay Rosen on The New York Times, blogging and ‘self-absorption’

The State of the News Media 2006

Irish Newspaper Archives
This is great. But it brings up a point: if the web is supposed to be a library, information like that found in newspaper archives should really be free. It’s only a matter of time, I guess, but things like this would be better operated as public services, not merely as profit-making businesses. Governments take note [c/o ResearchBuzz]. Permalink ·
