The changing newsroom what is being gained and what is being lost in america...David Ricker
This document summarizes the findings of a study examining changes in American daily newspapers between 2005-2008. It finds that most newspapers have reduced staffing and content due to financial pressures, with larger papers facing deeper cuts. Specifically, it notes that foreign, national, and business news coverage is declining the most, with over half of papers cutting space for these topics. The changing newsrooms now have younger, more tech-savvy staff but less institutional knowledge. While newspapers are expanding online, editors are uncertain about monetizing websites and balancing speed/interactivity with journalistic standards. Overall, the document captures an industry in turmoil, narrowing its scope amid rapid technological changes.
2010 state of the media vocus whitepaperDavid Ricker
This document provides an analysis of the changing media landscape from 2010 conducted by the Vocus Media Research Team. It summarizes the state of newspapers, magazines, television, and radio in 2009. For newspapers, nearly 300 folded that year, with weekly newspapers making up the majority. Advertising revenue declined significantly for magazines as well, resulting in over 1,100 closures. Both newspapers and magazines increased their move to online platforms and non-profit models. The radio and television industries also faced job losses and station closures as the economic recession took its toll across all traditional media sectors. The report examines trends that will likely continue into 2010 and beyond.

1) News-oriented blogs share similarities with mainstream media in that they often link to legacy outlets and focus on politics, government, and foreign events. However, blogs tend to focus more on issues related to personal rights and cultural norms.
2) While blogs and mainstream media sometimes cover the same top stories, this only occurs in about 1/3 of weeks. Blogs also give more attention to science, technology, and environmental stories than traditional media.
3) Blogs provide a platform for sharing personal connections to news events and divisive opinions. Discussions on political issues tend to involve both conservative and liberal viewpoints.
This document discusses the potential effects that crime drama TV shows like CSI have on real-world criminal investigations and court cases. It defines the "CSI effect" as jurors having unrealistic expectations about the type and amount of forensic evidence that should be available. The document discusses how police, attorneys, forensic labs, and jurors may be affected, noting trends like jurors demanding more DNA evidence than is realistic. While CSI shows increase interest in forensics careers, they also portray an inaccurate picture of how long evidence examination takes and what technology and resources actual crime labs have.

Internet Not So Isolating, Study FindsDavid Ricker
The document summarizes a report from the Pew Research Center that found that the internet and communication technologies are not isolating influences in American life, as has been previously thought. The survey found that 71% of social networking users list at least one member of their core network as a friend online. It also found that internet users are more engaged in public spaces than non-users. While in-person contact remains the primary means of communication, mobile phones have replaced landlines as the most frequent mediated communication. The report concludes that new technologies are associated with larger and more diverse social networks rather than social isolation.
The document provides a history of the development of the Internet from its origins as the ARPANET network in the 1960s through the creation of the World Wide Web in the 1980s-1990s. It discusses how ARPANET was developed by the US Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) to link computers and allow for resource sharing. It then covers the transition from ARPANET to the Internet as TCP/IP protocols were developed and adopted, allowing different networks to interconnect. Finally, it discusses early developments that paved the way for the World Wide Web, such as domain name servers and networks connecting universities.
Vinton Cerf describes the early history and development of the Internet. The ARPANET was created in the late 1960s to enable communication between computers. In the 1970s, Cerf and others worked to develop the TCP/IP protocols to allow different networks to interconnect, laying the foundation for today's Internet. A key demonstration in 1977 showed data traveling over multiple networks between the US and Europe. Standards were finalized in the late 1970s, and the TCP/IP protocols were adopted for military use in 1980.
