Interesting stats that could make for easy (and worthwhile) experiments.

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?”

Good, quick notes from a wide range of online news folks who braved the crowds and played panel roulette at SXSW in Austin last week.
Quote: Every time slot at South by Southwest is filled with several intriguing panels and presentations, so I missed more than I saw. But I can rely on the many journalists there among the game designers, developers, entrepreneurs, filmmakers and Web hipsters.

Sunlight Labs announces a data visualization contest, including judges like Nicholas Felton, Nathan Yau, and Charles Blow.
Quote: It's a contest as much about possibility as transparency, and with categories ranging from infographics to web design, there's plenty for all to compete in. Each category has a $5,000 prize associated with it now, and as we gain sponsors for each category, we'll be increasing the prizes associated as sponsorship allows.

Fantastic that they've finally realized it. I do wonder if Mr. Keller fully understands what he said.
Quote: "The New York Times is now as much a technology company as a journalism company," its executive editor Bill Keller said recently.

I was really psyched when Reuters came out as the anti-AP (with regard to linking), but they seem to be contradicting that spirit with this new Twitter policy.

If you tie yourself to a medium—print, a blog, whatever—you sacrifice your ability to be everywhere as an information broker.
Quote: It might be time for news organizations to reconsider how they define themselves. If they choose to define themselves by their publishing platforms, emerging platforms are likely to be perceived as threats to their business. But if they define themselves by the content they produce, new platforms can easily be identified as new opportunities.

A primer on how to conduct an interview. Worth reading.
Quote: Some interviewers interpret this as an endorsement of "gotcha" questions, but man, few things are more tiresome than "gotcha" questions. (Need I invoke the wan spectacle of Terry Gross going on the attack when presented with a guest too far outside her own ideological realm?) I mean more the sort of surprise one feels when presented with an entirely different way to think about something familiar. It's the wonderful surprise produced by framing and approach, not the deadening surprise produced by the j'accuse.
