- Some links for the City students
I had an enjoyable session with Chris Brauer’s City University students earlier today, and promised them links on some of the things I was talking about. Here they are – they won’t make a bunch of sense to people who were not there, but may still be of interest…

Good post from Charlie on how mainstream media works, and the opportunity for emerging media to adopt an important role. "Mainstream news can’t headline the most important or most deserving issue in the world every day. Otherwise the top story would always be Global Warming. So don’t get too pious or upset if new stories get to the top of the agenda."

"Chicken liver is what the restaurateur Danny Meyer calls a torpedo. Left to its own devices, it may be unappetizing and unpopular, but when paired with what he calls an enhancer — applewood smoked bacon in the case of the chicken liver on the menu at Tabla, Mr. Meyer’s Indian fusion restaurant in the Flatiron District — it not only excites the taste buds but goes to work on the mind."

The Economist's attempt to draw parallels between what's happening to the news industry today and what happened to it when the telegraph was invented is a little obvious – especially if you've read Tom Standage's excellent book The Victorian Internet – and perhaps just a tad glib. Still, worth a read.

A list of the top mainstream media blogs on politics. Interesting to see which titles are doing best in this list – and a surprise, too.

I'm fascinated that not only is political blogging seen to be on the rise the UK, someone thinks there's a business in printing a book on it. I suspect the book may be more profitable than the blogs themselves, mind you.
