Time magazine has an article about overprotective parents. The Title is appropriate: The Growing Backlash Against Overparenting Fair enough. My problem is how the article is framed: …we just wanted what was best for our kids. We bought macrobiotic cupcakes and hypoallergenic socks, hired tutors to correct a 5-year-old’s “pencil-holding deficiency,” … We hovered over...

Yesterday I hosted a session on law for my MA Online Journalism students, which I thought I would embed below. Some background: I teach all my sessions in a coffee shop in central Birmingham – anyone can drop in.

In the old days, when we used typewriters to write press releases, and then snail-mailed the releases to the media, the worst that could happen would be that the media didn't use our releases. Now that many journalists blog, the occupational hazards of bad press releases distributed online are multiplied. Send a crappy ...

Are blogs "journalism"? As a former journalist, I think I know what journalism is. I have reported on candidates over three elections. I don't consider this blog to be journalism due to the fact that I don't often interview people and report on what they say. Neither does political journalist Audrey Young on her blog. So why No Right Turn feels the need to claim that political journalism...

By Christine M. Flowers Philadelphia Daily News I FOUND myself smiling when I heard the usual suspects criticizing the Conference of Catholic Bishops for poking its nose into the health-care debate. Actually, it was more like a smirk.

"Google's new YouTube Direct allows amateur journalists (meaning anyone with a camera in their mobile phone) to upload video clips for a shot at their 15 seconds of fame. The broadcast news media seem to have learned the wrong lesson from the fall of print media and embracing 'citizen journalists' may expedite the extinction of traditional news as we know it." Thanks to Liz for this.

It is said that sometimes, a reputed face of an industry can rise a business or knock it down to ashes with just some public words. It is the case of Reva, the Indian electric car producer, which had the bad luck of coming across with the automotive guru, Jeremy Clarkson, who didn’t have quite laudative comments about them.
