Links for January 9th
These are my delicious links for January 9th from 20:36 to 22:50:
- DJ Strouse - A odd, but insightful look at what the economy might be without money as the currency.
- How I want to redefine my role, and the reader's role, in the newspaper | By Daniel Victor - The start of a mobile journalist (MoJo) career.
- Transparency as a PR Principle, Not a Tactic | PBS - In the internet age, where trust is a currency, companies ought to consider transparency of business a necessity if not an obligation.
Joey's thought: If civilization has developed far enough the economy to produce at at its current rate, and enough time is freed up for people to be investing it in goods and services that aren't necessities, perhaps it's time for us to look at currencies that aren't just monetary as a means of judging our economy.
e.g. China produces a lot but isn't as trusted as US

Links for January 6th Through January 7th
These are my links for January 6th through January 7th:
- Mainebiz - A new freesheet practicing the Guerilla journalism style is starting in Portland.
- How the newspaper industry tried to invent the Web but failed. - By Jack Shafer - Slate Magazine - The claim: Newspapers were early to get online, they just didn't get on the open web soon enough.
The problem: Newspaper structure is inherently flawed for internet consumption. Ad rates alone cannot sustain the newsroom, newspapers have become distracted by video as their answer, and stock price is too much of a concern. There's probably more to add to that list too. - Public Press FAQ | The Public Press - Here's a radical idea: share your published articles with Public Press, a non-profit that receives its money NPR fashion, so there are no ads.
