1. The New York Times: Logging Off to Trace a Web Photo to Its Source
If journalists take their eyes off the screen, leave their cubicle and actually go out and talk with people, they might discover something that is interesting as heck.

2. TheMediaBriefing: Raju Narisetti on the intersection between tech and content
Most big news rooms have focused on creating great content, and thinking the audience will come and hopefully they’ll pay. But having great content is no longer enough – everybody gets the same news. The experience the audience are getting from the content is what will differentiate us from competition and all experience only come at intersection of content and tech.

3. The Guardian: How we made Les Misérables
Lyrics and journalism are a good match: both are about manipulating language under constraint. Bars of music can’t be negotiated.

TheMediaBriefing: It’s tough below the line: the paradox of reader comments
For too many media organisations, for too long, community “strategy” has simply consisted of opening up comment forms underneath as much content as possible, and hoping for the best. It is no surprise that it doesn’t work.
I agree with a lot of the perspectives in this article. For many newspapers, allowing reader comments helps drive traffic but in many cases it doesn’t enhance a discussion when people in comments just yell at each other instead of listening to each other and building on each other’s comments. That would only work with more active community management which would likely become an expensive proposition for newsrooms and at the same time drive many of the readers away who come for a shouting match, not for a discussion.
