"YouTube is rolling out the new feature in the form of a simple "Edit Video" button on your My Videos page. It's a little like if they just took their cloud-based editor and sucked it back into the site. All you have to do is select one of your videos, and it'll let you trim away excess footage, rotate, stabilize to get rid of shake, and changes the attributes to make things brighter, warmer, or more saturated. You can also add Instagram-style filters to make things look old-timey."
"Huh floated the project — and riffed on topics ranging from Fox News to Twitter and democracy — at a Tuesday meeting of the Online News Association and regional chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. Afterward he said the news platform is a personal project of his, separate from Cheezburger."
"So here’s what I think we could do with students: Assign a different entry to each student in a class and have the student use it as a springboard into an exploration of that subject. So instead of “Write a report about …”, the assignment is to take a report that’s already been written and use it to find examples, exceptions, or even inaccuracies."
To shed more light on Web news behavior, the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism has conducted an in-depth study of detailed audience statistics from the Nielsen Company. The study examines the top 25 news websites in popularity in the United States, delving deeply into four main areas of audience behavior: how users get to the top news sites; how long they stay during each visit; how deep they go into a site; and where they go when they leave.
Overall, the findings suggest that there is not one group of news consumers online but several, each of which behaves differently. These differences call for news organizations to develop separate strategies to serve and make money from each audience.
"If you happen to still have anything still up on Google Videos that you want to keep, you’d better move quickly. The clock is ticking. After April 29, the site will stop hosting videos; after May 13, the content will be gone forever.
The company has added a “Download” button to videos to let people save the content they want from the site. Users are being encouraged to repost their videos to YouTube, which Google bought in 2006. "
"Do not create an interactive timeline just because it’s cool. Use interactivity to make the information more clear."
"These will be useful to introduce students, journalists, or yourself to the concepts of data visualization. Bonus: There’s an interesting discussion on Quora about the difference between information graphics and data visualization."
"Here's some basic advice that you can copy and paste (and modify as you need) to encourage insightful, engaging and rewarding writing from readers of your site"
