December 2008′s most-clicked link-list posts: twitter, context, CNN’s wire service, Lauren Rich Fine’s report

These are the blog posts and articles people were clicking on off my online journalism-oriented reading list during December 2008.

  1. Now You Can Sign Into Friend Connect Sites With Your Twitter ID
  2. CNN Pitches a Cheaper Wire Service to Newspapers – NYTimes.com
  3. The Media Equation – A New Jersey Newspaper Shuns the Web, and Thrives – NYTimes.com
  4. Traditional News Sites Dominate, But The Small Can Survive: This is a write-up of a paper Lauren Rich Fine published for the PaidContent folk (and that you can buy for $200)
  5. With Twitter, a desperate need for context: “And that’s when I realized that the future of media is being split into two streams: one that consists of raw news that comes like a torrent from sources such as Twitter, mobile messages and photos, the other, from old media. The eyewitness dispatches (and photos) via social media are an adjunct to the more established media — which needs to focus on providing analysis, context, and crucially, intelligence — in real time. And yet it is old media — and their next-generation counterparts, the blogs and other Internet outlets — that will have to adapt to this. Of course, the biggest adaption will need to come from the public, those of us who aren’t there ourselves.”
