   NYT Paywall to Other Papers: “Copy Me!”

   There's no excuse for other publishers not to follow the Times's model

   By Ryan Chittum

   If The New York Times spun off its digital edition, it would be the tenth biggest paper in the country by circulation, with more paying readers than the Chicago Sun-Times and just behind the Chicago Tribune in circ. With its third quarter results out this morning, the Times further solidifies the case for its paywall strategy, which has brought it...

   Holding Aggregators to Journalistic Standards

   By Felix Salmon

   Now I’ve got my rant off my chest, let me try to add a bigger-picture point to the noise surrounding Romeneskogate. The unanimous reaction to Julie Moos’s ridiculous piece has held little back: Hamilton Nolan called it “perhaps the most bullshit nonexistent plagiarism case in the annals of online journalism”, while Rem Rieder called her “portentous, not to say sanctimonious”...

   Jim Romenesko Leaves Poynter

   And the blogosphere cries foul

   By Justin Peters

   The most frustrating thing about the Jim Romenesko affair is the way that so many people who should know better are insisting that there is no Jim Romenesko affair. Romenesko, the seminal media blogger, resigned from the Poynter Institute last night after his boss, Julie Moos, published an article detailing his occasional failure to indicate that the language he was...

   Journalism ethics in a digital age

   A Poynter conference this week provoked good discussion but presupposed an old definition of journalism

   By Kira Goldenberg

   On Tuesday, in the midst of wonky Poynter conference dialogue about how to reimagine journalism ethics for a digital age, Seattle Times columnist Monica Guzman told an anecdote that nailed the angst of a changing industry. Shortly after the Seattle Post-Intelligencer dropped its print edition, a bear got loose in Seattle, Guzman said. She and her P-I colleagues continually updated...

   Some Thoughts on the Romenesko Affair

   Examining the critical consensus

   By Craig Silverman

   I have no other option than to start this column about Jim Romenesko with a litany of disclosures. Deep breath, here we go: Romenesko has linked to my blog, Regret the Error, many times since it launched in 2004. My guess is he’s probably linked to me three to five times a year, maybe a bit more. (I’ve always tried...

   The Romenesko Saga

   Some questions for Poynter about recent changes on its fabled site

   By Erika Fry

   Yesterday, Poynter’s Julie Moos published a controversial post on the journalism institute’s Romenesko+ blog, which she credited to my “sharp eye.” Her post, which addressed “incomplete attribution” in the posts of Jim Romenesko, the industry’s most beloved aggregator, instantly created a firestorm, with many journalists quickly tweeting and blogging in defense of Romenesko while others raised charges of plagiarism. Romenesko...
