Many of you know I've been pushing Drupal (up hill!) at UNR since I interviewed here 6 months ago. At the end of last semester, I actually attended a meeting to discuss deploying several Word Press "sites" instead of a single Drupal driven site because many of the journalism grad students and faculty found Drupal to be too difficult to work with. I managed to convince them to stay the course by reminding them of their original vision for the site... |
We want to apply Web2.0 technologies used in sites like MySpace, Flickr, YouTube, Upcoming, Delicious, and Google Maps to environmental journalism.
When Drupal sites and Drupal supporters in the Newspaper industry win awards like this, it helps validate what I've been saying making me seem less like a crazy from the future who comes to meeting blowing everyone's minds and talking crazy moon speak. If you Digg, please Digg this and pass it on to your friends.
NYTimes "share" tool acknowledges the power Digg, Facebook, and Newsvine have in shaping the news
Mon, 2006-12-11 21:36 — Kevin Reynen| The NYTimes has added a “share” tool making it easier to link content from their online edition to these popular aggregators/social networks. This makes sense to me. Instead of looking for the news on their doorstep at 5AM, this is where the next generation of the news consuming public is going to find their news. Social networks will have as much if not more of an impact in determining the day’s most important story for these readers than any editor. |
