January’s most-popular links: newspapers going online-only, going hyperlocal; newsroom staffing, training, and google apps

January! 2008! This is what people were clicking on off my reading list from January.

  1. Cincinnati Post Goes Online Only
  2. Nieman Reports: Going Hyperlocal at the Chicago Tribune: Highlight Stats: TribLocal has 7 producer / journalists; more than 1,500 people have registered with them (that seems really, really low); pageviews have increased by double digits every month.
  3. When it comes to online staffing newspapers should play to win
  4. Throw ‘em overboard if they need training?: “If you’re a software developer and you need someone to explain Ajax or REST APIs to you, be prepared to ask: ‘Do you want fries with that?’ I won’t offer similar advice to journalists, because those who need it will never see it.”
  5. Google apps for your newsroom
