More Evidence Against Selling Copyright

My local paper has a story this morning about the archive of one Milton Greene, who passed away some 30 years ago, going up for sale – negatives with copyrights included. Why is his archive important? It may contain thousands of unseen images of Marilyn Monroe who he photographed more than 50 times. By law, the copyright was handed over...

Journalism Summer Camp

A little too close to home … Brian McFadden’s New York Times comic hits us where it counts. And where we should be hit. (Thanks to alum Yasmin Yonis for the link.)

Signs You’re an Ex-Journalist

Generally that title would turn me off, but I clicked through to John Robinson’s list and so should you. Especially if you’re still working because number two is critical.

Not even sure where to start with this … a television journalist used a victim as a perch while delivering his report on flooding in northern India. We could play Ethics Bingo with this one … (Thanks to Sue Newhook for the link.)

Interns: To Pay or Not to Pay

Evidence of the Chicago Debacle

Curt Chandler has decided to use the debacle at the Chicago Sun-Times as an impetus to launch a new blog, and today he takes a loot at evidence of it all falling apart – comparing a Sun-Times local news story to the coverage in the competing Tribune. Yeah, some readers are going to get hosed …

Arresting (App) Developments

If you haven’t seen it and you’re a fan of the Arrested Development series, you have to head over to NPR’s web site to see this insane, inside-joke app they created. Then, head over to the Poynter Institute where Andrew Beaujon has interviewed it’s creator, Adam Cole, who says it started as a bit of a hobby project. And for...
