Portuguese Soap Opera Online

Is Twitter the primary means of communication of the future?

Leo in blog of journalist Carlos Salas Diaries of Captain Snorkel "a post last week entitled" What if in the future we read through of Twitter? "which asks whether the network is not the media future. A priori, for those unfamiliar with Twitter or not to give a more or less professional, this statement may be somewhat exaggerated. However, for those who do that are hooked to 140 characters and among our "followers" and "following" a vast majority of accounts linked to the world of communication, whether journalists -crowd in this network -, and means, this statement is we are not at all out of place.

Ensures Carlos Salas on his blog that "adapts to Twitter journalistic message like a glove . Why? Because people get on Twitter to stay a day or hour, or minute, because you choose the news source (a guru, a friend, a newspaper ...) and because short messages allow you to read many shortly. Good news or information titled Hot Deals are ideal for this medium of short message. "

acknowledge that it might agree almost word for word the above. But it's also a network of this type, in which messages amount to the holder of a news and accompanied in most cases a link to the information you mentioned, are a major source of inputs to digital media. In fact, according to a study conducted by CNN, up to 43% of stories that are "distributed" across the network are through social networks, compared to 30% by email or on 15 % via SMS. But also, the key is to provide readers with "influential", ie those most active in using these tools: 27% of them, those that bounce at least six links per week-are responsible for 85 % of information that move through Internet. So having them in our community, we guarantee a success.

And, any publisher who does not have capacity for its news to be distributed in social networks has secured a significant deficit for visits, according to the latest data in this sense, Facebook now virtually reached as Google News news aggregator for news sites, which will soon also with Twitter, since its progression in the number of users grows each year, especially among English-speaking countries.

Does it pass then the future of digital media and its impact on social networks? Absolutely, yes . No information yet as regards the English media, and just talking from my experience, I am sure that the number of Internet users coming online any means through Twitter or Facebook is growing every day and is already a significant percentage of total visits.

Even knowing that these applications are temporary and I do not know how long this social network than I have no doubt it is this or a similar one reporters have to get used to the holder in 140 characters -less if we take into account the need to include the link-and i s are not able to do so in an interesting and attractive to the reader, your news will be very little read , even though the information is the bomb. And this same rule applies to blogs and any support that you want to capture the attention of Internet users. And if not, at the time.

Student Kissing Ateacher In Bed

For each and every izaskun who chose to be journalists or journalism or citizen

Izaskun Perez recently wrote in his blog recommended Alderrai a nice post that under "I chose to be a journalist," was a journey through his short but intense career. It was a tale of those who are invited to engage in this, those charged with passion and enthusiasm written by someone, that's the feeling that gives at least journalism exudes from every pore of his skin. And I recognize that to a greater or lesser extent, I identified with her and I missed more people in this profession you want to really be on the street, not in an office or in a newsroom without leaving your chair, do new things, take risks, look for the news talking to witnesses to flee from the press releases ...
to quarantine someone just left behind and with two decades of journalism and to the back, who has fought in places good, bad and very poor, who has written on media and other posh smaller but equally important, if not more, who has interviewed famous people and made infomercials and warehouse stores curtains Galician potato, which has kicked many, many street and corridors and offices and basements, which has brought news where none existed, who had put tons of imagination to it, which pisses me off every time someone complains of vice and who came to dub "Get a life." .. For someone, in short, who has spent many hours at this and know that this profession is not measured only by the media audience for that work, but for the passion that you put into what you do, stories like Izzie (Nuksazi in your Twitter account) will return the faith in this business, but also cause a half-smile to imagine the heartbreak, disappointment and disillusionment that you have left to live ... or not.
And, although I love this job and I know that I am privileged to have what I have, it is also true that I have left behind much of that passion blinds the principle that full time I did throw more hours at this of which is the day. I also took the stage "company man" in that I cared about the environment than their own; also suffered the syndrome "I must", that I was healing as I was changing jobs and I realized that no one is and that life goes on without one, also suffered the virus "does not understand people who are wanting to go home, I got over when I had children and my life priorities have changed.
I mean all this time has the great virtue of making everyone and everything in its place, sooner or later. And that time is what made me understand that there is life outside this. Not only that, but, little by little, has been born in me some pity for those who, left behind the youthful passion of the beginning, has no life outside of this. Perhaps
Izaskun never lose that momentum and that passion. You may even be willing to give to family life more or less stable-unstable as far as life is a journalist living for more focused at work. Perhaps, even, not ever assault the sense of panic that I began to deal with increasing frequency: I have two decades devoted to this work and I still have more years I have worked for you to quit. It is even possible that and are starting izaskun torment not imagining kicking the street, covering press conferences or statements microphone in hand chasing entered in the sixties. Because at some point we all imagine that at the age of retirement will be in an office with an important job or posh as columnists, television commentators or lecturers. But that, we all know it is not possible. The widespread promotion of journalists exit the school of journalism from the eighties can not end all at the top of the pyramid and life in the lower echelons is hard, especially if we share with people writing those twice his age.
No, not my intention to discourage anyone. Events even further. I may have developed bad or that I ask too many questions. But the reality is there, that future is not only probable but quite possible. Because everyone at some point we will want to take advantage of our experience, that we recognize our work. How many people older than 50 years we are covering press conferences, at airports looking statements with a tape recorder or microphone, or push for a canutazo elbows?
only ask that as Nuksazi izaskun and have the opportunity to travel all that way-the same as me and as many as I have traveled, and that each reach their own conclusions.

Ibm 8215 E9g Sound Driver



openly admit I do not know how to rank in my head the so-called citizen journalism. On the one hand, I can not deny its interest, its timing, freshness and, if you ask me, their informational value. However, I find considerable period, at least as As I understand this profession. I understand that there
for whom the only requirement to be met by a reporter is writing in a medium of communication, but for me being a journalist is much more. Beyond the debate about whether to study journalism to exercise or not, I think that this profession does require a few rules and requirements.
I mean by this that I find very commendable that a man with his camera passes by a place at that time is taking a police charge, a traffic accident or an attack and achieve a great and instant send it to a medium counting what happened. But that is not journalism. In the end, always must have a professional calibrate the importance of this news, which at its fair value measurement, which contrast the information has been circulated, seeking to provide more data ... it offers, in short, that added value that only a professional can give. For any news, any information, is no stranger to a context, a categorization. The information is important or not depending on other things that have happened, according to their special character or other factors.
For this reason, leave journalism with a capital in the hands of the people is like giving a truncheon and a gun to the first pass and give police powers. No Indeed, most try to do justice, but hers. Thus, every citizen's photo, your story, will seem most important. At the moment it has a professional filtering and decide if it's important or not, whether it is worthy of being published or not, we will not be speaking as a citizen, and citizen's issues at their own risk in a blog or in some way "out of control" shall cease to be journalism.
believe that witness, supervise, monitor, record, collect data, inspect ... is something else. Journalism Is it the work of international observers in elections, conflict mediators, the enumerators to collect data, inspectors to monitor compliance with the law? Nor think it is, but insist that no disabilities in all its documentary value-what a guy writes in his Twitter account of what happens around him, by exciting or dangerous as that is. Telling is not the same as journalism.
So I think with few exceptions, journalism is difficult to regard as so no longer be in the right place at the right time, which does not mean that the product of that "chance" no longer has value or not be published. But journalism is something else, I do not know if better or worse, but nothing else.

2011 What brings the media world

started a decade, I am sure, will be decisive in terms of future of means of communication. With Internet definitely established as a support and information, with ADSL basic service in many of the homes, with wireless technologies that are already part of everyday life for millions of people around the world - and wifi bluetooth essentially, "the necessary technology for mobile devices are permanently connected to the network and offer video, audio or web, with pills flooding the market and increasingly affordable prices, with Internet-connected TV a single unit ...

With all these twigs is weaving the future media landscape and who is not able to accommodate them in the next few years time there are more than enough to do, will not survive.

In this sense, last week Mashable, one of the most prestigious posts in the world between those devoted to technology news and related to the web world, established a decalogue with the 10 predictions for the media sector ahead of 2011, among which are: leaks and journalism, a new kind of media-as a result of the phenomenon Wikileaks -, an increase of mergers and acquisitions of companies in the sector, the birth of media only for tablets and mobile media, news consumption based on the geo-social networks like Foursquare or Gowalla - via mobile phone or GPS device or connected to the network, the struggle between social networks and search engines as a gateway to news, Google currently commands, but the growth of Twitter and Facebook in this sense is unstoppable, "the" death "of foreign correspondent, due to the crisis and the rise of citizen journalism , the adoption by means of a strategy in terms of social networks as a fundamental tool of work and communicate with their readers, and deployment of interactive television, that is, Internet-connected TV.

In any case, we are talking about perspectives and technological possibilities. However, as is the case with digital media, to ensure their implementation still need to find a business model that makes them profitable. Because one of the challenges of this new decade, perhaps the greatest because he has to overcome the biggest barrier, will be the charge for content.

seems clear that the "total free" days are numbered. Either that or the media can not survive without income.

What Could Of Made Me Sick At 38 Weeks Pregnant

2.0 vs Journalists. old guard, "incompatible or complementary?

While it is true that journalists can only be divided between good and bad, that is, those who do good work and who are unwilling, unable or do not know, do not is less than observed many differences between them in terms of age, especially among young people, ie those under 30 years and surpassing the half-century. Amid a third group would be located halfway between digital journalism and the old guard, something like a transitional generation, without being digital natives, as they can adapt to changing times.
is curious to observe how the older ones take different attitudes to the new tools that technology has placed in their hands, ranging from the most absolute contempt, to the commendable attempt to keep up, to those who, while recognizing their utility, or a spirit feel strong enough to change habits.
At the other extreme are the new generation of journalists are under 30 years have grown with the Internet, are constantly connected through social networks, can not imagine life without a mobile phone do not know what living without email, look at the fax with a mixture of surprise and ignorance and known only by hearsay typewriters. However, all this does not make them better professionals. As a generation
bridge, ie, still far from retirement, but with two decades of experience to the back, often look to both sides and see how far you are from each other, so radically different they are and how confident they are Both these types of be all right.
So now thanks to social networks are constant events to talk about this wonderful profession, coffee & journalism, BCN Medialab, Event Blog Spain (EBE), the Laboratory of Journalism, Press Association of Madrid ... - I miss any that address this generation gap, this different way of exercising the profession, this kind of distinction between traditional and online journalism .
And I consider it necessary to address this issue because I think they have much to learn from each other. Probably never had been living and working at the same time two very different ways of working. Thus, compared to the old guard in the street feels like a fish in water, which meets in person to all sources, which asserts its contacts in any situation, who hates writing and loves the bohemian and freedom que siempre ha tenido este trabajo, se encuentran esos jóvenes profesionales nacidos en la década de los ochenta, que se manejan en la web sin problemas, que saben buscar un dato en Internet en cuestión de segundos, que se enteran a través de Twitter de qué se está cociendo, antes de que ninguna agencia lance un teletipo…
¿Por qué renunciar a lo mejor de ambos mundos?, ¿por qué no tratar de combinar ambas formas de hacer periodismo? No podemos permitirnos el lujo de desaprovechar el talento de una generación que muy pronto dejará de trabajar, igual que éstos no deberían perderse lo que la tecnología es capaz de hacer.
Para los más jóvenes, más calle y menos writing, more talking to sources and less press release and official announcement, more information themselves and first-hand and less data than wikipedia. For more talluditos, more humility and less arrogance, more ability to learn and less closeness, more willingness to embrace new technologies and recognize their contribution and less contempt for ignorance. Thus, without doubt, the profession and readers will benefit.

The size, in the press, it does matter: not enough technical and human resources can not do good journalism

acknowledge that the idea that Peter J. Ramirez is journalism is far from mine, mainly because of his abuse of not let reality spoil a good headline. However, reading his Letter from the Director of the past Sunday, January 2, I was surprised sharing much of what he says in the last part, that it devotes to discuss the strengthening of quality press "to serve the truth."

Beyond that I do not believe in the truth, because there are so many such people, yes I assume it word for word some of his statements: "In our country there are only half a dozen essays from as many newspapers with effective enough, talent and determination to fulfill the right to information of citizens through complete coverage of today [...] Without the onerous permanent deployment of these leading newspapers in and out Spain, the radio talk shows and television as well as most digital forums would become empty shells, sentenced to masturbation to discuss their own comments. [...] Well, if we can not soon find a new business model in the sector, we have only the option to manage our own decline .[...] As you have noticed the great quality papers worldwide, the future of press passes through the multi-support and collection development for high value-added products, distributed electronically.

Clearly, the director of the world does nothing but sell its Orbyt and try to convince us that their model is best, but in any case, it remains true that we must take action and do it now.
do not believe in the death of paper, not least in a short period of time, but I think that newspapers are printed today are outdated and contribute little or nothing to readers, as it is raised .
And, of course, to make a worthwhile product to offer this added value, gratuity is not the road. This does not mean that some content can not be free, but bring something of quality is not cheap. If we need the opinion or expert analysis of an expert, does going to pay voluntary contributions readers? Clearly not.

I believe in the coexistence of media and media. I'm sure there's room for free daily and for payment to the native web news and online versions of paper journals. In the same way that television does not preclude general there are issues of payment or that the film does not prevent you from watching movies on TV for free, I also believe that the online payment for enjoying certain content does not preclude that there are other free. However, I also believe that a short essay with a pair of journalists on staff and a handful of contributors and columnists can not offer the same as the online version of a large daily paper. And neither can nor will provide, because to investigate, to interpret, to bring this added value, you need a good team a free internet, funded only by advertising revenue can not sustain.

Piracy, rogue, or did Sinde Law what the fuck lives an operator if nobody paid for their work?

with awe these days, although it is a debate that comes from years ago, the controversy over the "Law Sinde" and the battle between supporters of tough on the pirates and the advocates of "all Free. And I admit, not without fear of being disqualified, I am of those for sanctions of those who argue that the creators must charge for their work and those who believe that piracy is not that takes us to a cultural impoverishment .
But one thing that surprises me most is the large number of journalists who argue against the "Law Sinde" and advocating little more than the anything goes. I know that on this issue any maximalist position is bad and the download a movie or an album from time to time never hurt anyone. But those from time to time, multiplied by hundreds of thousands or millions, are what make the business of culture is falling apart.
Because, basically, what bothers me is that the "pirates" for ease of reference, have no arguments other than the fact that it is better not afford to pay. It's that simple. And that can disguise of philosophy, can be decorated with phrases "anti", you can decorate with bombastic statements against the major labels, Hollywood or whoever. But really really, I just want to enjoy free creative work of others, rather than pay for it.
really is pirated as was double-parked or parked on the pavement, that is, because it is easier to find somewhere to park "legally" puteemos but to another person or preventing the passage to pedestrians. "If it's just a moment" they say. Make no mistake, this is a philosophy of life: if I'm doing well, others Darn them.
We'll see. If anyone goes to the cinema to see a movie, no one pays for a disc or a DVD, nobody buys a book or everybody reads the newspaper on the Internet, how the business is based? To me, that I explain. What the hell lives a creator if nobody paid for their work? If my newspaper nobody pays you for reading my articles, why would you pay me? I can not go home reading my information to change the will. My only way to win life is that someone is willing to pay for my creation. It's that simple.
everything is better, of course. The digital canon is theft, because surely. But piracy have become a daily thing, too. People get off more films that will never see, too. We are not willing to pay even a few cents for a song if there is a way to get free, too.
This has a name: more than piracy, I would call rogue traders, the typical English picaresque. We are a nation of irresponsible, shortsighted, like giving us the consequences of our actions if we fulfill our desires.
worst thing is that we are creating a generation accustomed to everything for free, although, of course, willing to pay 8 or 10 euros for a glass or three or four euros a day for a pack of snuff. But yes, paying $ 1.20 for a newspaper, a product that is behind the work of hundreds of people, it seems expensive. I do not understand anything.
