Paul Balcerak reverses the information stream, and instead of asking readers for photos, or feeding them unfiltered breaking news, he asks them a simple question: What do you need to know right now?
Quote: Our newsrooms were obviously already covering the storm. And I had asked for photo submissions because they help tell a story. But I figured there had to be people out there living the story who were thinking, “Yeah, great, a tree that broke in half. But I can look out my window and see that and I’ve got an online test in 40 minutes, so where can I find a power outlet and free WiFi?” Added: March 18, 2010 at 11:55AM EDT

Matt Thompson draws a bright line between the episodic distribution of information as it stands today, and emerging methods to put those episodes in context.
Quote: Faced with a flood of headlines on an ever-increasing variety of topics, we shut off. We turn to news that doesn't require much understanding - crime, traffic, weather - or we turn off the news altogether. Added: March 11, 2010 at 8:32AM EST

What's in Graham Holliday's mobile journalism backpack? Power, access, and apps like CameraBag and Tweetie 2.
Quote: It's the rainy season. I forgot the next most important thing after fully charging all devices - a raincoat. I got wet, and my camera got wet, when I took rain shots. Added: March 9, 2010 at 7:52AM EST

Tracie Mauriello has been livetweeting the "bonusgate" case for weeks now. Interesting note from her to readers today, although I'm amused by the judge's efforts to prevent citizens from finding out about events happening in open court. Real-time's a challenge!

The origin of those John Roberts retirement rumors? A law professor at Georgetown proving a point about credibility. Of course.
Quote: Our criminal justice professor started our 9 am lecture with the news that roberts will be resigning tomorrow for health reasons — that he could not handle the administrative burdens of the job. He would not say how he knows — but halfway through our lecture on the credibility and reliability of informants he revealed that the Roberts rumor was made up to show how someone you ordinarily think is credible and reliable (ie a law professor) can disseminate inaccurate information.

Love this. Want to report on a city? Don't just drop in for a day or two at a time. Buy a house. Move in. That's what Time Inc. has done in Detroit for this long-term reporting project.
Quote: If spending money on lengthy, in-depth articles about Detroit in print magazines seems old-fashioned and counterintuitive for the CEO of a media company who has been slashing costs and pushing her products into the digital age, well, Moore has her reasons.

Quote: We believe every public official in America should have to face the Truth-O-Meter. Added: January 13, 2010 at 10:04AM EST

Global warming, international relations, Iraq, Chechnya, and more -- but not the headlines you were expecting. An important year-end list from Foreign Policy magazine, spotted via kottke.org.
Quote: From a naval alliance that could shift the military balance of power on two continents to a troubling security gap in the U.S. passport system to a brand-new way to circle the globe, these are the stories that never got the attention they deserved in 2009 but could dominate the conversation in 2010.

A classic Breslin piece from the New York Herald Tribune on the death of John F. Kennedy. Be sure to read the whole thing, then check out the links in the comment thread below to bits of history, rebuttal, clarification.
Quote: These things he was doing took only small minutes, and other doctors and nurses were in the room and talking and moving, but Perry does not remember them. He saw only the throat and chest, shining under the huge lamp, and when he would look up or move his eyes between motions, he would see this plum dress and the terribly disciplined face standing over against the gray tile wall.
