"Microsoft launching news operation" - MyBroadband Tech and IT News
It's fascinating to see who is in and out of the news business.

"Journalist Turns Idea Into Online Success" - NYTimes.com
How do newspapers do a better job of tapping into former journalists who have done great things in allied fields?
"Burlington Free Press Loses Ground in Vermont" - NYTimes.com
As bad as all this is, I still think newspapers have missed the chance to make themselves essential to their cusotmers, plain and simple. We all have lots of information needs that we think are pretty essential and newspapers continue to think they can get by addressing only a few of them, and not the highest priority ones like food (in an essential as opposed to throw food mud on the wall and see if it sticks fashion, as is most often the case now).
"Oracle's New Cloud Computing Bets" - NYTimes.com
Which newspaper is advancing the most dynamic cloud strategy?
"Times-Picayune Publishes Last Daily Issue" - NYTimes.com
I still believe that there is a need for a daily guide to the world, starting as local as your bed, and extending to Mars, if you like. And I believe that a printed newspaper is the very best way to do this. However much of that the Times-Picayune achieves, it won't happen at all on the off days and that's a real loss.
"‘Janeane From Des Moines,’ Mock Documentary, Hits the Right" - NYTimes.com
This happens, I suspect, more often than we realize in more media.

"Disruptions: Your Brain on E-Books and Smartphone Apps" - NYTimes.com
Newspapers need to get themselves out ahead of this one.

"Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif". - NYTimes.com
I wonder how many WAN-IFRA trips to California include a stop here?
"Baton Rouge Newspaper Sees an Opportunity in New Orleans" - NYTimes.com
Are we seeing the potential extension of newspaper brands to other markets? Or is this just a marketing move that may or may not work in a state where this might be more possible than others?

BBC
Why do they make it so hard to find news items after they have been broadcast? It makes no sense to me, only frustration.

Times Co. Said to Reach Preliminary Deal to Sell About.com - NYTimes.com
Not a profitable investment, one could argue.

BBC Uses Olympics to Give Glimpse of TV’s Future - NYTimes.com
Will this be the future for newspapers, too?
Shopping With Lucky Will Soon Require Less Clicking - NYTimes.com
Newspapers should have done this for their individual markets a long time ago.
