All guesses and assumptions. You are quite a bit of conspiracist. Present your case with facts and logics. Not imaginations.
And on a side note, what is your problem with rich and power people?

Whatever; you get the point. "Real time" news and produced news both have their positives and their pitfalls. I choose to look at all news organizations as well as real time feeds as driven by people with a "producer perspective." It doesn't matter where the news comes from, the person(s) creating that news want you to trust in what they disseminate. The NYTimes reporter in Karachi covering today's bombing or the local journalist in Fargo, North Dakota tweeting a high school sporting. So, to argue that the NYTimes is biased is subjective, because it's you, the reader, who wants to believe what's being fed to you based on your world view. One is only better than the other at any given moment, where a consensus is reached by the audience that the media mechanism delivering a better (accurate?) value at that moment is the winner, but just for that moment. Then the cycle begins again.I simply just don't like when people say one news organization is biased and versus the other that is supposedly unbiased. They're all biased. Get over it and take from it what you will. But also respect how much work goes into it, whether it's right or wrong. Because when it's right, we all benefit. And, when it's wrong...well, we all know what misinformation can do. Let's hope every day, each organization is working to "get it right" for their audience, whoever that may be.

Thanks, Susan.Lastly, I want to engage people in the concept of the "producer perspective."I could give a shit about what news organization you prefer - every news organization in the world has a producer perspective about what it wants to disseminate and hopes that you believe its perspective is the "real" perspective. Every news organization fights, in some way, for your eyeballs. I don't care where it comes from, they all subsist on making sure that you read, watch or listen to the content.If you want to truly believe that Al Jazeera is somehow purer than the New York Times, that's your perception and you're welcome to it. I look at every news organization as a bunch of people trying to tell stories to get you to engage with them. However they do it - text, video, audio, crayon...I don't care what format it is, they all want you to engage with their news they way they see it.The onus is on the reader/viewer/listener to determine the validity of the information they receive.What's funny is that most of the people who take cracks at news organizations believe that what they read on Twitter must be true, but there's no editorial management of that stream to make sure that what is going out over the Twitterverse is actually true.Digital Strategy Works✉ [address removed] | Visit Our Site

There is a clear distinction between "real-time" reporting and what newspapers do. If I want to look for "real-time" reporting, I'm going to look to Internet media and broadcast media for that information. If anyone is under the assumption that I think the New York Time is "real-time" reporting, they would be mistaken.The New York Times provides a perspective that few other news organizations can match. Their reach into society and resulting reporting style is something that YouTube or Twitter can never replicate. YouTube cannot replicate it, because YouTube is video, not text. Twitter cannot replicate it, because Twitter is 140 characters of chatter.There is something to be said for long form, in depth journalism that provides insight that you can never get through social media.I have worked for the Associated Press, the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication, and I have been a blogger for over 8-years. I have a specific understanding of journalism that comes from direct experience in the industry. You can decry the New York Times as whatever you want, but try and replicate what they do and you'll never be able to.Sure, news organizations can get it wrong, just like hoaxes can blow up on Twitter or Facebook. Every media outlet has problems. Nothing is perfect. Where you choose to get your news from is a personal choice. But, if I want to find real stories of interesting people doing unique things that are rarely covered by other media outlets chasing eyeballs with trash journalism, People Magazine-style, I'm going to find those stories in the New York Times.Now, I listen to NPR an awful lot on the car radio and through my TuneIn or Public Radio apps. I love NPR and think its a national asset, similar to the BBC. The problem with the BBC and Al Jazeera is that, while they may disseminate world news, they can never replicate knowing the streets of New York City like the New York Times.Where are you going to find on any Al Jazeera channel the New York stories that make the New York Times what it is? You're not. That's not their speciality. You're not going to find it on the BBC either. Broadcast journalism is a different animal than the "old shoe."I'm not defending the New York Times by any stretch of the imagination for things they may get wrong or whatever other ills they happen to perpetuate - what I'm saying is that the form of journalism that the New York Times produces is far superior in many ways that any general news outlet that is chasing eyeballs with sensationalism. And, they go far beyond most broadcast outlets in following up on stories and reporting in the long form journalism capacity, as well as pushing the envelope in using digital in innovative ways that many people don't necessarily stop and think about. How did they do that infographic? Where did they get the data? There is so much the NYTimes does that most people take for granted, like it's supposed to just be there. You can't get interactive infographics using YouTube or Twitter - those are better left for web and maybe mobile, depending on the UI.Anyway...you can all keep slamming the New York Times, but most of you have no clue what it takes to produce this type of content on a 24-hour basis. So, I'll just leave it at that. Keep reading Twitter to get your 140 characters, which then links off to long form journalism anyway. Twitter is an entry point, it's not the end all be all. You'll get your bits and pieces, but when you really want to understand the subject, then look no further than the "Grey Lady."As for the Boston Globe, being a Boston native, it was also one of my favorite papers. I don't know why they are selling it now, but maybe downsizing and focusing on your core product may be a good move for them at this time. I don't know...I'm not in the financial aspect of news to understand what the opportunity is or isn't with that move at this time.Digital Strategy Works✉ [address removed] | Visit Our Site

Subject: Re: [newtech-1] NYTimes.com fixes paywall URLsNo, they are not the same. You absolutely do not get the same level of in-depth reporting from other "commercial" news organizations. You're going to tell me that the Daily News gives you the same level of reporting? Show me the Daily News version of the New York Times Magazine. Show me the Daily News version of the Sunday New York Times. Show me the ABCnews.com site that can compete with the same output and level of reporting as the New York Times. That's bullshit and you know it. I never said it was perfect - I said they were one of the best. There's a difference. Wake yourself up and then go back to sleep. Don't need the links. We disagree. I'm moving on...see ya.
