A rant about …
Sunday, February 10, 2008
What is it with these websites hooked on the dangling ellipsis? You know what I mean: a headline, half a sentence then... Here's a classic from TVNZ's TV On Demand offerings.
London’s Camden Market is on fire: anatomy of a breaking news story
Sunday, February 10, 2008
9.30 this morning, NZ time: News of a big fire in London’s Camden Market reaches me on Twitter via a news feed from Netherlands-based BreakingNewsOn. They seemed to be getting information from Sky TV. By 10am NZ time, the Guardian had a picture and good story up complete with eye witness reports. The Times had [...]
Herald news link-up with msn.co.nz
Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Nzherald.co.nz has linked up with msn.co.nz to flesh out the latter's news offering and drive traffic to the Herald site. Lance Wiggs documents the move on his blog: "NZHerald gets more traffic, pure and simple. MSN gets some real news on their rather sparse website.

Nice to see nzherald.co.nz inviting readers to send in pics on the fire story. I like the slide show player as well, although the ad at the bottom reloading for each shot is a distraction that detracts somewhat.
How about a howler hotline?

It's not uncommon to spot typos online. I see them everyday on news and other websites (including my own). It's a reality of web publishing - you move faster, push copy through fewer pairs of hands and relax in the knowledge that it takes two ticks to fix typos once they've been spotted (unlike the poor old newspaper which has to live with its mistakes glaring back at it from library reading rooms for ever more).
