The New News

Reports of the death of the news media are highly premature, though you wouldn't know it from the media's own headlines. Ken Doctor goes far beyond those headlines, taking an authoritative look at the fast-emerging future.

The Twelve Laws of Newsonomics reveal the kinds of news that readers will get and that journalists (and citizens) will produce as we enter the first truly digital news decade.

A new Digital Dozen, global powerhouses from "The New York Times, " News Corp, and CNN to NBC, the BBC, and NPR will dominate news across the globe, Locally, a colorful assortment of emerging news players, from Boston to San Diego, are rewriting the rules of city reporting,

"Newsonomics" provides a new sense of the news we'll get on paper, on screen, on the phone, by blog, by podcast, and via Facebook and Twitter. It also offers a new way to understand the why and how of the changes, and where the Googles, Yahoos and Microsofts fit in. "Newsonomics" pays special attention to media and journalism students in a chapter on the back-to-the-future skills they'll need, while marketing professionals get their own view of what the changes mean to them.

Inside Apple - How America's Most Admired - And Secretive - Company Really Works (Paperback): Adam Lashinsky Inside Apple - How America's Most Admired - And Secretive - Company Really Works (Paperback)
Adam Lashinsky
R451 Discovery Miles 4 510 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

INSIDE APPLE reveals the secret systems, tactics and leadership strategies that allowed Steve Jobs and his company to churn out hit after hit and inspire a cult-like following for its products.
If Apple is Silicon Valley's answer to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, then author Adam Lashinsky provides readers with a golden ticket to step inside. In this primer on leadership and innovation, the author will introduce readers to concepts like the "DRI" (Apple's practice of assigning a Directly Responsible Individual to every task) and the Top 100 (an annual ritual in which 100 up-and-coming executives are tapped a la Skull & Bones for a secret retreat with company founder Steve Jobs).
Based on numerous interviews, the book offers exclusive new information about how Apple innovates, deals with its suppliers and is handling the transition into the Post Jobs Era. Lashinsky, a Senior Editor at Large for Fortune, knows the subject cold: In a 2008 cover story for the magazine entitled The Genius Behind Steve: Could Operations Whiz Tim Cook Run The Company Someday he predicted that Tim Cook, then an unknown, would eventually succeed Steve Jobs as CEO.
While Inside Apple is ostensibly a deep dive into one, unique company (and its ecosystem of suppliers, investors, employees and competitors), the lessons about Jobs, leadership, product design and marketing are universal. They should appeal to anyone hoping to bring some of that Apple magic to their own company, career, or creative endeavor.

Technology Enhanced Learning as a tool for eInclusion and Media (Paperback): Bernadette Maria Kaufmann Technology Enhanced Learning as a tool for eInclusion and Media (Paperback)
Bernadette Maria Kaufmann
R749 Discovery Miles 7 490 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Scholarly Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Communications - Journalism, Journalism Professions, printed single-sided, grade: keine, -, language: English, abstract: Bernadette Maria Kaufmann TEL as a tool for eInclusion and Media Abstract In this contribution I try to show off the importance of eInclusion out of two perspectives - the first perspective is taking a look at school: Students from all social backgrounds must have the possibility of developing at least good competencies in ICT and the use of online-learning tools. Apart from that it's important that the development of good media-competencies becomes part of the curriculum in schools. Schools should feel obliged to help students develop media-competencies as well as develop knowledge in maths, ethics or biology I start with the example of a student's learning situation in a private school, then in contrast going on with illuminating most students' situation in public schools. Both scenes are taken from Austria and seem comparable to the experience realm of most European students aged 6 to 18 years. Then I consider a constructivist view of learning as an adequate pedagogic strategy for "new schools" that aim at helping students develop good competence in ICT and media perception. Media have come to play an immanent role in our society. We cannot ignore that students should learn how to make good use of media (online media as well as so-called traditional media like e.g. TV ) and become able to recognise chances and risks. The second perspective is dealing with the inclusion of poverty as a topic. The poor shall not remain "invisible" - as well as students from all social backgrounds should have the chance to get a good education, poverty should be a topic that's presented in media in an authentic way.

Playing footsie with the FTSE? The financial crash of 2008 and the crisis in journalism is a special book issue of Ethical Space to mark a special event. In the autumn of 2008, the world economy nearly went into meltdown after the collapse of Lehman Brothers on 15 September. The banks were on the brink; the cash machines worldwide were about to be shut off. In the end, the global economy was saved - but at a huge long-term cost. Why did so few politicians, economists and academics see the Great Crash coming and why did so few journalists report it in advance? Here the movers and shakers of financial journalism try to give some explanation: Robert Peston, of the BBC, then a maverick now proved to be totally right Peter Wilby, of the Guardian, who advises us not to trust financial journalists Jane Fuller, top financial analyst, ponders the implications for all journalists Anne Gregory, Professor of PR, examines the role of public relations in the credit crunch Award-winning Martin Lewis critiques the "TV property porn merchants" Other distinguished contributors include Hugh Pym, of the BBC, Pulitzer Prize-winner David Cay Johnston, INSEAD scholar Matthew Fraser, Francesco Guerrera, of the Financial Times, PR guru Trevor Morris, Alex Brummer, of the Daily Mail, Brian Caplen, editor of the Banker, Howard Davies, LSE Director, Nicholas Jones, for 30 years a BBC correspondent, top media blogger Kristine Lowe and Professors John Tulloch and Damian Tambini. Edited by John Mair, of Coventry University, and Richard Lance Keeble, of the University of Lincoln, this is a seminal collection of essays on the Great Crash from those at the epicentre of the financial storm.

R1,084 Discovery Miles 10 840 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This special edition of Ethical Space addresses the lack of ethnic diversity in the British media. With a focus on newspapers, the book identifies the reasons for a shortage of minority ethnic groups in mainstream journalism and newsroom management. It also considers the effects of this shortage on media representations of minority groups. The project arose from an Economic and Social Research Council-funded seminar series on Widening Ethnic Diversity in Journalism. The seminars were unique in assembling diverse perspectives and fostering interactions across the social, industrial, academic and educational landscape. The contributors to this special double edition reflect this diversity by representing key dimensions of the subject: the mainstream and minority ethnic media industry, journalism education and academic research. While focusing mainly on the British context, the volume also contains a major section on international perspectives and outcomes which echo several issues about workforce diversity identified in the UK news industry. The aims of this book are to: assess industry-led strategies to address under-recruitment of Black and ethnic minority (BEM) journalists; to facilitate dialogue between educators, employers and BEM representatives about increasing BEM recruitment; advance scholarship about under-representation of BEM groups; identify policies and schemes to attract BEM recruitment into key roles in the media; and inform the development of policy and practice in government, media industries and journalism education and training to increase the representation of Black and ethnic minority communities in mainstream newsrooms and raise their participation and profile in civil society.

Media Relations Handbook for Government, Associations, Nonprofits, and Elected Officials, 2e (Paperback): Bradford Fitch Media Relations Handbook for Government, Associations, Nonprofits, and Elected Officials, 2e (Paperback)
Bradford Fitch; Edited by Jack Holt
R941 Discovery Miles 9 410 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Media Relations Handbook for Government, Associations, Nonprofits, and Elected Officials, 2e, by Bradford Fitch, Editor: Jack Holt. The Media Relations Handbook is called "the big blue book" on Capitol Hill.

Human communication is a constant, continuous, and dynamic phenomenon. You cannot not-communicate nor can you un-communicate. For an individual entity, there is only ONE communication. Not multiple, not varieties, only one. That one communication is the culmination of all that has been communicated by the entity until the "now" in time. You cannot go back and un-communicate something. You can only begin from the "now" to create the intended outcome. That outcome is always a negotiation with the receiver/audience/community to cultivate an agreed understanding.

For a communication professional, understanding this fact is essential. No matter where you work, someone has been communicating something before you began. You cannot un-communicate it. You cannot create a new beginning; but you can begin now to create a new outcome. Research continues into the changes in communication wrought by the Internet and public expectations that are experiencing mercurial change.

As best practices are now being developed, the Media Relations Handbook 2e can give you guidance and ideas that will spark your innovation.

In Scientific Advertising Claude C. Hopkins outlines testing and measuring based advertising thereby reducing potential losses of unsuccessful campaigns and maximizing the effectiveness of profitable ones. Or, as Hopkins wrote, the advertiser is "playing on the safe side of a hundred to one shot." Claude C. Hopkins was one of the great advertising pioneers believing that advertising existed only to sell something and should be measurable and justify the results that it produced. Hopkins worked for various advertisers, including Bissell Carpet Sweeper Company, Swift & Company and Dr. Shoop's patent medicine company. Hopkins insisted copywriters researched their client products and produce reason-why copy. He also asserted that a good product was its own best salesperson and as such sampling was an excellent tactic to increase sales.

Sarah Ellison
R446 Discovery Miles 4 460 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This is a tale about big business, an imploding dynasty, a mogul at war, and a deal that sums up an era of change. The main character, rocked by feuding factions and those who would remake it, is the "Wall Street Journal," which affects the thoughts, votes, and stocks of two million readers daily. Sarah Ellison, while at the "Journal," won praise for covering the $5 billion acquisition that transformed the pride of Dow Jones and the estimable but eccentric Bancroft family into the jewel of Rupert Murdoch's kingdom. Here she expands her work, using her knowledge of the paper and its people to go deep inside the landmark transaction, as no outsider has or can, and also far beyond it, into the rocky transition when Murdoch's crew tussled with old "Journal" hands and geared up for battle with the "New York Times." With access to all the players, Ellison moves from newsrooms (where editors duel) to estates (where the Bancrofts go at it like the Ewings). She shows Murdoch, finally, for who he is--maneuvering, firing, undoing all that the Bancrofts had protected.

Good IT is simply good business. But managing IT infrastructure has always been challenging. Virtualization and cloud computing make this even more difficult. In their daily work marketing HP Operations Center (formerly OpenView Operations), authors "Peter Spielvogel," "John Haworth," and "Sonja Hickey" frequently encounter organizations struggling with these issues. They have come to realize that IT professionals want simple actionable ideas that will deliver gains in availability, performance, and efficiency. "#IT OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT tweet Book01" was written with that in mind.

IT architectures are constantly evolving. Increased complexity and the dynamic nature of virtualized and cloud environments make managing the underlying IT infrastructure harder than ever. Companies need a new management approach that focuses on connecting business services and the end user experience to the underlying infrastructure, incorporating all of the layers from the application to the virtual and to the physical. The concepts of servers, storage, and networks become more fluid, and the relationships among these elements are constantly changing. Where companies could previously use different consoles to manage disparate and static silos, this becomes untenable with virtualization and the added abstraction layer in the cloud. Fortunately, there are some proven best practices that simplify IT infrastructure management in this age of complexity.

Reading this book will not make you an expert on managing IT infrastructure, but it will make you think in a different way about some of your decisions, and those of your peers. If the guidance contained herein starts a discussion in your team that results in you avoiding one big mistake, then the authors will have achieved their goal.

"#IT OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT tweet Book01" is part of the THiNKaha series whose 120-page books contain 140 well-thought-out quotes (tweets/ahas).
