DaveNet: NY Times archive is back, The view from the BBC. Wired: "Like any number of webloggers trying to make their mark with commentary on the war in Iraq, Sean-Paul Kelley knew geography and career experience didn't favor him." About press releases on Google News, there's been a bunch of comment on this recently. I've been asked to comment. Press releases are okay if they are clearly labeled as such. It's predictable that professional reporters would object to this practice, but they have a conflict of interest, which they don't disclose. The maker-of-news has a valuable perspective. That's the thesis of weblogs. Most press releases aren't worth reading. But they don't have to be. They could be more enlightening and accurate than the supposedly disinterested reports by pros. A list of NY Times articles cited by Scripting News going back to April 1997. 1003 links, most work for me, some don't. So far none redirect to the for-pay archive. It's pretty clear that something changed in the Times' archive policy in the last 48 hours. So it seems we can point to the NY Times once again. Life is good. You can quote me on that. Neven Bartel says that the German television station Tageschau maintains a public archive of their broadcasts, since 1999, in RealVideo. I heard Chris Pirillo and Lisa Rein on BBC this morning. They are both really good at radio. Wow. |
