- Five things the NUJ could do to engage with the web
OK. As threatened yesterday, here are some suggestions on how the NUJ could get more clued-up about what’s happening in its industry. Do leave your ideas in the comments.
1. Fix your print and online publications
Irony of ironies, but your publications suck. Sorry, but nuj.org.uk is a shambles - why can’t I see who runs the [...]
- NUJ and new media: the trouble is, they just don’t know what’s going on
The Journalist magazine finally arrived at Tosh Towers, and its convergence coverage was broadly as bad as expected. Those expectations were already low thanks to the vigorous fiskings provided by the Telegraph’s Shane Richmond and, yesterday, Mr and Mrs Strange Attractor.
I’d actually say this edition’s bout wasn’t quite at silly as the “Witness Contributor” [...]

Guardian: 3 set to announce Skype phone
Big fuss over this, and techies might wonder why… but it is a sure indicator of where things are going on mobile: flat rate for calls and data. 3’s partnership with Skype is a decent way to market that.

JACK fm Oxfordshire : playing what we want
The Jack radio format - ultramixed adult contemporary music, no DJs - arrives in the UK, with Paul Darrow (Avon - Blake’s 7) doing the links. Really rather good - just gone from the Kaiser Chiefs to Ian Dury…

- NUJ: is it “hypocritical” to remain a member?
It would, you’d imagine, take something remarkable to unite commentators from the Telegraph and the Guardian. Yet my union - the National Union of Journalists - might just be managing it.
Some backstory: my regular reader will recall that, last year, the NUJ got into a terrible pickle over a proposed code of conduct for citizen [...]

- Scotland’s continued health
It’s good to see Times columnist Magnus Linklater agree with my earlier post here that it’s better to get sick in Scotland than in England, for the moment. He also spots the conflict of interest that a Nationalist parliament has when it’s spending money it doesn’t have to raise.
But he draws a different conclusion.
“The more [...]
- Yes, I know. I’ve changed it all again
The last blog theme lasted less than a month, I realise. But it just wasn’t doing what I wanted it to do. I was after less clutter, not more. I didn’t take enough photographs to sling them across the top of the home page. And all those blue links were giving me a headache.
