An interview with Pam McVitie, the new editor of the Daily Sport. That means there are now three women editing titles which rely on scantily clad female content: McVitie, the Sun’s Rebekah Wade and the Daily Star’s Dawn Neesom.
This post has backfired a little: the original idea was to look at how the national broadsheets reported the ABCes because it’s always interesting when a publication or website has to report on itself – on its good or bad performance.
Here’s how the Guardian did it today:
That obsession [Team GB] most obviously helped the Guardian, which took advantage of the Beijing effect. That meant that guardian.co.uk remained the UK’s biggest online newspaper for August, attracting 23.11 million global unique users last month, a 46% increase from August 2007 and up 12% on July this year. The Guardian added 2.5 million unique users last month and still has the largest number of UK-based online readers: 8.77 million or 38% of its total audience.
And on the day itself like this.
And Telegraph.co.uk?
It looks like they didn’t.
Times Online?
It appears not.
Independent.co.uk?
Nope.
FT.com
No.
Please correct us if we’re wrong.
Looks like there was only one national newspaper who gave the August stats so much online space. But you could read about the ABCes at Brand Republic, Press Gazette, NMA and here at Journalism.co.uk. Or find the data for yourself here.
Sales of celebrity magazines have plunged in the latest figures from the Audit Bureau of Circulations – a result of the economic downturn and the rising popularity of online competitors.
Journalists will be pampered with masseurs and world class dining, organisers have said.
The Financial Times and the BBC have reason to celebrate after they both won Webby Awards – considered by many as the Oscars of online publishing.
With nominations in over 70 categories FT.com’s Alphaville blog and the BBC News site were amongst a crowded field of winners as they picked up gongs earlier this week.
The Webbys are selected by a group made up of web, business and celebrity figures selected by the awarding body, the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, with the people’s voice awards voted on by web-using members of the public.
Alphaville won the best business blog category, also picking up the people’s voice award in that category.
BBC News was the people’s voice winner in the news category (it also won the main award in the radio category) with the main prize going to NYTimes.com – one of a total of six awards for the publication.
Two of those successes came in the online newspaper section where NYTimes.com won both the main award and the people’s voice award, in the process beating of competition from Guardian.co.uk, Independent.co.uk, the Wall Street Journal Online and Variety.com.
“I applaud the attempt at catching up after years of digital foot dragging,”
Newspaper designer Ryan Bowman gets his teeth into the new Indy.co.uk site, saying what he would have done differently.
We knew from the start of this project that there would be some anomalies in our results given the subjective nature of our testing (individuals using different types of assistive equipment with differing degrees of success).
As such, Stephen Dunn, chief technical strategist from Guardian Unlimited, was right to point out that our volunteers had missed the invisible links on Guardian.co.uk, which allow screen reader users to skip lengthy navigation bars. This was likely the fault of our equipment and cannot be attributed to the Guardian site.
Similarly the failure of Express.co.uk‘s Have Your Say area with our user may have been heightened by our users’ unfamiliarity with using such comment areas.
Yet this reiterates the issue touched on in yesterday’s blog post about Independent.co.uk: our blind and visually impaired testers struggled with this section of the site because it was unclear what they were supposed to do from the outset.
This was not an accessibility problem caused by bad links or poorly written code that disadvantages screen reader users, but rather an issue that could affect all visitors to the site. To get the necessary instructions on how to Have Your Say users have to drill into the site before being directed to a registration page.
Combining a quick registration process with a comment form would be a welcome move towards accessibility for all – and would easily boost MyExpress’ subscription numbers.
Well, it nearly did…
A scene from new film A Mighty Heart, which tells the story of murdered American journalist Daniel Pearl, features a shot of an article about shoe-bomber Richard Reid on the Indy’s website.
But apparently the site didn’t make the grade and a new version had to be made just for filming.
“They all thought that The Indy’s website was so poor they didn’t want to show it to the viewers and so recreated another one for the movie,” a producer told Press Gazette’s Axegrinder blog. XXX Anime Porn Video https://hentai-moon.com/ watch free.
