Full RSS feeds kick the crap out of partial feeds →
The debate of serving full vs. partial RSS feeds isn’t a new one. Several big-time marketing blogs have polled, blogged and agued the point up and down the blogosphere.
I originally started with only offering partial feeds on NMB, but moved to full feed disclosure some months ago (if I remember correctly).
I’ve pushed for the majority of feeds on MLive to feature the content in full, including...

9 ways journalists can increase productivity →
Between my projects at MLive, my web business and my web identity (blog, Twitter, Del.icio.us, Wired Journalists), I’ve really been crunched to keep everything humming.
And I know I’m not the only one. I posted similar sentiments on Wired Journalists, a new social network for journalists created by Ryan Sholin.
A few commenters said they often feel stretched by the daily grind, distracted by...

I often hear young print journalists lamenting the disconnect between their paper’s printed product and online presence. Sometimes I forget that not everyone is in love with the web like I am.
I admit too, about five years ago, I didn’t view the web with revelry. Print was where it was at. It had prestige, notoriety and I thought if I wasn’t in traditional media, well, I wasn’t a real...

How do your reporters liveblog? →
Reporters and bloggers at MLive have tested a few different ways of covering live events (e.g. football games, press conferences) using our blogging software.
Here’s a couple of the ideas we’ve used:
Write a new entry in a blog every time you have a new item to post (problematic because of the high number or RSS sends)
Continually update the same entry (problematic because the old entry won’t...

Did Facebook just change the game for news orgs? →
Are you one of those journalists/producers waiting for this Facebook fad to finally end? It might be time to strap up and finally start figuring out what this whole social networking thing is all about.
Facebook will likely be here for the long haul, following a Friday announcement that some say will make it easier to embed Facebook apps/widgets on external websites:

Ever wonder how people found your blog or where your commenters come from? If you write a typical news site blog, you likely don’t have access to all the mounds of data that your web staff hoards (oh yes, we hoard it, for s&g (j/k)).
But you probably would love to know who is reading your posts, who is responding to your posts and where they are coming from.
There’s several tools that can...
