Me, Media7 and the future of newspapers
Tuesday, February 17, 2009
I recently appeared with nzherald.co.nz multimedia editor Jeremy Rees on Russell Brown’s Media7 to talk, broadly, about the future of newspapers as nzherald.co.nz marks its 10th anniversary. Thoroughly enjoyed my first brush with telly (nerves notwithstanding) and being in the audience for the session on crusading journalism, with Pat Booth, Donna Chisholm and Keith Hunter. It [...]
O’Reilly’s APN stake is no longer for sale
Tuesday, January 27, 2009
From NZPA (via nbr.co.nz): Irish media tycoon Tony O’Reilly has failed to find a buyer for his media assets down under, including the New Zealand Herald newspaper, and is under pressure to offload assets closer to home to ease his empire’s debt burden. Independent News&Media (INM) confirmed it has given up a two-month attempt to sell its [...]

(and other frowned-upon words)
Friday, November 14, 2008
Every now and then newsrooms receive edicts banning overused phrases and ungainly words. The use of access and impact as verbs springs to mind - something we were on constant guard against on the Business pages of the Daily Telegraph when I was there a few years ago. Apparently, this is nothing new. The NZ Herald in its 1966 Manual of Journalism exhorted its writers thus: "In recent years, without making them pass any sort of entrance examination, we seem to have admitted dozens of words which usually have little excuse for appearing in a newspaper. Some examples: 'Few air services operated yesterday because of fog.' Why not: 'Fog stopped most air services yesterday.'
Pneumatic story delivery

Another piece of nostalgia from the NZ Herald Manual of Journalism 1967. Pneumatic tubes as a story delivery system within newsrooms were before my time but what a shame, they look cracking.

A few words on the Herald’s little blue box
Monday, September 8, 2008
One of the things I like about nzherald.co.nz is the blue tinted panel that appears in story pages and lists other headlines you can click directly through to. I like it because I can work my way through a dozen stories without having to click back to the homepage or section page in between each one - something that drives me nuts on other news sites.
How did Malcolm become Michael overnight?
Tuesday, March 11, 2008
There I was yesterday, banging on in a lecture to journalism students about sub-editing. Specifically, about the importance of checking facts and figures in stories and getting names, dates and places right. Small mistakes can have a disproportionately large effect on a reader's trust in a news organisation, said I. And what did I see on the front page of the Herald this morning? A story about the Vatican's revamp of the seven deadly sins attributed to a reporter called Michael Moore. But it wasn't by Michael at all, but by Malcolm Moore, the Telegraph's Rome-based correspondent.
Do podcasts work for news?
