The Blog for Readers of the International Herald Tribune. Friday, 17 October 2008. Obama and the race question and the NYT coverage of it. IW: I'll tell you a little story, one I've told before,. I wrote last Tuesday. I live in one of the most hard-left leaning areas of France. We have an enormously popular Communist Party deputy, the only new CP member to be elected in France in the Chircac-Le Pen runoff.

THINK!: Why newspapers need to come up with a paid content model.
http://ihtreaders.blogspot.com/2008/11/why-newspapers-need-to-come-up-with.html
The Blog for Readers of the International Herald Tribune. Saturday, 15 November 2008. Why newspapers need to come up with a paid content model. Most group think says that paid content models for newspapers won't work. Well, with current approaches, ideas and technology they won't. But people like me, who have different approaches, different ideas and different technology don't agree. Problem is: we can't find a newspaper interested in talking about it or the money to invest in making it doable. Http:/ ww...

The Blog for Readers of the International Herald Tribune. Saturday, 4 October 2008. Times' Web Guy Mike Nizza Moves to The Atlantic (NYO). In the news business, the opening sentences of a story are referred to as its "lede" - spelled that way, journalism lore has it, to avoid confusion with the lead typesetting that once dominated newspaper printing presses. Every sentence in a news story, though, has the potential to spiral off in new directions, and that's where The Lede's mission begins. As many of yo...

The Blog for Readers of the International Herald Tribune. Wednesday, 19 November 2008. NYT's media correspondent tells us all we need to know about what's wrong with newspapers. I think this speaks for itself. I mean, really, this is like GM backing SUVs and being surprised when Toyota and Renault do better. Filling media gaps, watchdogs spring up online. Tuesday, November 18, 2008. As newspapers in the United States - and much of the western world - shrink and shed staff, and broadcast news outlets sink...

The Blog for Readers of the International Herald Tribune. Tuesday, 18 November 2008. Headline Paradox when it comes to African Lives. Was visiting the IHT's. Offices yesterday. He spoke,. Of the need to keep up development money for Africa in times of economic crisis. I wonder what he would make of the comparative treatment, most notably the headlines used and the length, of these two stories in today's IHT. A time of hope, marred by an act of horror. Albino boy killed and body dismembered in Burundi.

THINK!: Putting the story back into newspaper storytelling
http://ihtreaders.blogspot.com/2008/11/putting-story-back-into-newspaper.html
The Blog for Readers of the International Herald Tribune. Wednesday, 19 November 2008. Putting the story back into newspaper storytelling. One of my central theories about the decline of newspapers is that they've forgotten, in the world of 24 hour news cycle, the meaning and value of the word 'new' in their product offering of 'new' information in newspapers. For more on this take a look at a revised posting on repeat stories in the IHT.). A Place in the Auvergne. It's rushed, it's not perfect, it's ill...

The Blog for Readers of the International Herald Tribune. Tuesday, 18 November 2008. A Royal Pain for IHT Readers - repeat stories, way behind the news curve. I'm becoming increasingly frustrated by the IHT running NYT pieces, on stories that IHT editors (alert, on the ball, all good) had already picked up weeks earlier. To give an example from today's paper, compare and contrast the following:. A royal pain for the Spanish monarchy. Monday, November 17, 2008. If all of us who are not gay were to parade ...
