The Modern Journalist reader TJ, webmaster for WWJ 950 in Detroit, instant messaged me a story about the top eight Ohio newspapers sharing content with each other.

I'm reading Mark Glaser's recap of my alma mater's latest journalism conference, Crisis in News.
Now, I'm not going to bag on Glaser or my school because frankly, I don't know Glaser and I paid a boatload of money to go to Cal-Berkeley. However, I am going take issue with the ...

If I did, I presume I would be with them.

I'm completely baffled whenever I read stories about the changing media landscape and layoffs. The world has very clearly changed dramatically in terms of media, consumption, creation and audience.

Social media bugs me.
At least, the term social media bugs me. I'm still looking for a definition that suits my needs, one that doesn't include every media that's ever been created and yet captures the essence of what we all think social media is.
Not to get all Supreme Court on ...
