Liveblogging is increasingly being used by the media to cover events as they happen, and news consumers now expect almost instantaneous updates from reporters on the ground.
This trend means the thoughts of Keith McSpurren, founder of Cover It Live, as he talks at City University tomorrow will be well worth paying attention to. His company [...]
This was my November post for the ‘Tomorrow’s News, Tomorrow’s Journalists‘ blogring.
The question was ‘If you had a million dollars to save journalism, what would you do?‘
So $1,000,000 or £670,765.31.
I would spend it on investigative website which would perform journalism in the public interest. Very much taking its inspiration from ProPublica, albeit with [...]
There we were, standing in the Commons Chamber, where vicious political battles have been taking place for more than a century. Unfortunately, and shamefully, we couldn’t quite remember which side of the House we were on. Admittedly Gabriele, being from Italy, had a perfectly legitimate excuse. The rest of us didn’t.
However, it [...]
…at least according to Hunter S Thompson. If so, Martin Bright can’t be particularly adept at the practice, he’s agreed to teach our UK Politics specialism at City. As a subscriber to the New Statesman, where he is political editor, I am very pleased. It will be a great experience to learn from a [...]
We hear a lot of theories on the future of journalism at City. The most inspiring assessment so far has been delivered by Chris Brauer, our online journalism lecturer. This makes sense of course, the presence and power of the internet is expanding exponentially. His enthusiam is admirable nonetheless and certainly injects immediacy and [...]

Strangely only Daniel seems to have given an indication of the field he wishes to cover. I think it’s important that [...]
On Wednesday we visited the financial news agency Bloomberg and, although I haven’t had much free time to detail my experiences, I wanted to blog about the trip as it was quite revealing.
It was fascinating to see how the company works as Bloomberg is such a different world to that of newspapers. The copy is [...]
Trying to reflect the wider points that were brought up at last night’s debate I have written another article. This one concentrates more specifically on new media and the benefits it has brought to our journalistic endeavours.
Iain Dale, the Conservative blogger, has dismissed the merits of political reporting and emphasised the role new media is [...]
I attended a debate on political campaigners and reporters this evening, and among others it featured Nick Robinson, Iain Dale and Peter Tatchell. I was lucky enough to be asked to cover the event for journalism.co.uk. This is the version I am going to turn in tomorrow, it’s a little longer than [...]
“The answer is both strikingly simple and amazingly complex. First a straight-forward and surely uncontroversial argument. Journalism is about providing information to citizens of a country, region or city – even the world – in order that they can know as much as possible about what is being done to them, for them and about [...]
