A week or so ago I found out that newsroom leaders where asking big questions.

According to Poynter these are the questions that 192 online newsroom leaders are going to try and answer over the next three days at one of their seminars.

I use a great app called Mint to keep an eye on my stats. Within mint i have a neat little plugin (they call them pepper) called GeoMint which plots the location of regular users on a google map. Very cool

You know when you have one of those days?
I had one yesterday.
It ended with me leaving the phone ringing to Pipex support in the vein hope that the beeping phone would simply annoy anyone near it to the point of madnes, even if they weren’t going to answer it! I tell you, Pipex telephone support is [...]
