Transnational news traffic

February 21, 2008

So is online help­ing Brit­ish journ­al­ism col­on­ise the US? Fish­bowlNY’s take on a Guard­ian piece cer­tainly makes it look that way: # The Daily Mail saw online traffic increase 31% for Mail Online com­pared to 01/07.# The Guard­ian’s traffic increased by 25.5%.# Rupert Murdoch’s highbrow/lowbrow Times of Lon­don and The Sun saw traffic up 38% and […]

Award-winning journalism 2

February 21, 2008

Lots of excel­lent journ­al­ism on dis­play at the Royal Tele­vi­sion Soci­ety last night. But another plug for Guard­ian phở­to­grapher Sean Smith and his work from Iraq, which won the inter­na­tional news award.

Went to Oxford last night to hear Glenda Cooper’s excel­lent Guard­ian lec­ture about cov­er­ing dis­asters and the col­lu­sion between journ­al­ists and aid agen­cies, among other things. Pot­ted ver­sion here. Will post more when it’s all online.

November 2, 2007

Friends of Anthony Sampson gathered last night to hear the new pro­fessor who has a chair in his name, David Leigh of the Guard­ian.

Guardian: in America, not in American

October 23, 2007

Launches today. It is in Amer­ica, but not in Amer­ican. Which to me is a missed oppor­tun­ity, given my pre­vi­ous solo cam­paign (actu­ally blog post) to adopt Amer­ican Eng­lish as the online stand­ard. Although Eng­lish (US) has its ugli­nesses, the Amer­ic­ans care far more about Eng­lish than we do, as Inigo Thomas admits in his defence […]

Journalism at the movies

September 30, 2007

I finally got round to see­ing the Bourne Ulti­matum at the week­end. (Spoiler ahead) It shoots straight into the top ten for cine­matic journ­al­ist por­tray­als, though it doesn’t do us any favours. Paddy Con­sid­ine plays Simon Ross, fic­tional secur­ity cor­res­pond­ent of the Guard­ian, a reporter so drippy his photo-byline is a tea stain. Far­ring­don Road fea­tures, and there’s […]
