The digital revolution threatens the quality and commercial viability of British journalism, according to a report by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism.
The report What's Happening to Our News?, launched today at the Oxford Media Convention at the Said Business School, says advertisers are deserting newspapers and television news programmes for the web, draining resources away from newsgathering.
Quality is also threatened by the arrival of what is termed the 'clickstream': some editors admit they consult web data during the day and channel greater resources to the stories that are likely to attract more hits and therefore more advertising. To improve the visibility of digital news content, particularly on search engines, publishers are altering the tone and focus of news, for example by linking to celebrities or using emotive language, the report says.

Why would anybody want to blog under a pseudonym?
There are certainly ways to violate trust while blogging under a pseudonym, but people blogging under their real names can break trust with their readers, too. Trust is a tricky issue, on both the giving and receiving side.
There's no guarantee if you're blogging under a pseudonym that your real-life identity will stay secret. Technology makes the leg-work to out someone do-able (and sometimes bloggers themselves provide all too many of the necessary clues). However, I doubt that being outed is inevitable.

YouTube now offers some videos in multiple resolutions. If you're watching a multiformat video on the YouTube site itself, you can call up different resolutions by adding a format code to the end of the URL. Adding "&fmt=6" bumps the resolution from 320x240 to 448x336 and doubles the audio sample rate from 22.05 to 44.1kHz. And adding "&fmt=18" (iPod mode) raises it to 480x360 with stereo sound. This mode also uses h.264 encoding for better video quality.
