More Visions Silenced

I’ve known about this one for a few weeks as one of my friends was involved – Southern Community Newspapers decided last month to let their photography staffs go at all of their papers. One was converted to a videographer, but that’s it. With a few poorly phrased keystrokes, the vision of several communities was wiped out. Blinded by a...

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

This is what international reporting has been lowered to … photojournalists booked themselves on a 12 hour flight from Moscow to Cuba on a tip that Edward Snowden would be on the flight. He wasn’t.

Note: Victims Should Not Be Used As Platforms

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

ProPublica has a great summation up about the recent Fox Searchlight Supreme Court decision regarding unpaid internships – if you're a student looking for one or an entity looking to offer one, you have to read it and understand this case. Thankfully, it's not too complex: Pretty much, unpaid internships violate federal labor laws. And, yes, I get dozens of...

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...
