citybizlist Baltimore: The sad demise of Urbanite

citybizlist Baltimore: The Cruelty of Digital Media: The Sun Reports on the Urbanite’s Demise


Urbanite, the free monthly magazine that has been a Baltimore staple for nearly 10 years, is coming to an end. Its last print issue is already on the streets, and its website is expected to shut down by October, according to the Baltimore Sun’s David Zurawik.

Urbanite’s publisher Tracy Ward told the Sun that the combined loss of a key investor and a top advertiser in 2008, along with a continued sluggish economy, contributed to the publication’s struggles.

"If this year had been a healthier year in terms of economic growth, I don't think we would be going out of business. It's just been too slow -- it's been four years of slow growth when you're already in a weakened position. But we were so close. We were so close to making it. And every year I would say, 'I can't do one more year,' and then it would be another year of very difficult circumstances particularly on my part,” Ward said…http://baltimore.citybizlist.com/article/cruelty-digital-media-sun-reports-urbanite%E2%80%99s-demise

Iowa caucuses reveal media lapses - By MARTIN SCHRAM Scripps Howard News Service

COMMENTARY

Iowa caucuses reveal media lapses

By MARTIN SCHRAM Scripps Howard News Service


Monday, January 9, 2012

Iowa's 2012 Republican caucuses gave us either two winners or no winners at all, as in Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum virtually tied and Ron Paul finished just a whisker behind them.

And in the only total that really matters, but was little mentioned, all three received seven of Iowa's Republican convention delegates.

But America's inexplicably traditional first voting told us something important, not really about those running for president but about those of us who cover them: When we don't really report, you can't really decide.

First, recall the wall-to-wall news coverage of Iowa's meaningless (except for political party money-making) Republican straw poll last August.

As all the pols and their handlers learned decades ago, you can win it by spending more money to bus in and feed more of your own people who will vote for you. Last August, Michele Bachmann won.

Tuesday night, she finished last among Iowa's real caucus combatants.

Second, we turn to what Americans most need from the news media: our journalistic skill and determination to go far beyond what the candidates are emphasizing to make the sale with voters.

At least by examining their past deeds as deeply as we covered that meaningless straw poll.

Dr. Spaulding: Thank you Nick DiMarco and Bryan Sears


J-students should learn how to use social media to build their personal brand, two Patch.com journalists told students in MCOM 257 Tuesday.
This means being social on social media, providing content and interacting with readers, said Lutherville-Timonium editor Nick DiMarco and politics reporter Bryan Sears. It also means honing your writing skills and, above all else, providing information that is accurate.

Nice article. The article is reaffirming and reassuring about the future of journalism… and that is certainly reinforced in the comments. The glass is half-full. I’m just saying.
