Awaiting for your reply.
I’m a student in information and communcation science (at Bruxelles – Belgium – I hope my english is’nt too bad) and I study the online information system useb by the journalists and the quality of these systems. To make this study, I need information from journalists and It’s rather difficult to obtain. Is it possible for me to contact you by email to ask you some questions ? My objectives are to improve those systems and therefor I need advices from journalists.
Thank you
Thanks Arnaud – I’m conducting similar research myself so happy to get in touch. My contact details are on http://www.mediacourses.com/staff_teaching.asp

I read the post on wiki journalism with great interest since we have a wiki publishing platform for online media that is targeted at building communities. Iwould like to get your help in contacting the people you surveyed. Our launch customer is the San Diego Union Tribune and afew other publications are looking into it, with inetersting applications on kids sports, global warming, schools etc. Perhaps you are interested in helping us gain entry into the UK market?

Hi there
I’ve just launched a bit of a crazy website idea and just wanted a bit of advice.
I’m not even sure if you’re the right person I should be asking and actually I’m hoping I’m not being cocky by asking you this but do you think my site would make a good story.
Kind Regards
Wasim
I’ve launched a website that is centered around people raising questions to newsmakers in response to news items on the web. People can relate news articles to questions to support the validity of a given question. The main idea is to collaboratively raise the tough questions journalists would normally not use in an interview or a press conference.
I wanted to know what your thoughts were about such a concept and what impact it may have on citizen journalism.

this site is very useful for my journalism class. i would just like to know something about video diary as a form of journalism. Is it related to online journalism? what are the pecularities or styles used in here?
My view is that video diaries can be used very effectively within journalism – either by the journalist themselves reflecting on a story or issue; or by a source giving an insight into an issue – almost as you would use a quote within text. See https://onlinejournalismblog.wordpress.com/2007/03/09/four-types-of-online-video-journalism/ for more.

Paul. Just come across your blog and really impressed. We’ve just started a blog focussing on the media in Wales (mainly news media) and while it’s in its early days we hope it’ll evolve into a mature blog for debate and discussion by both the media professionals and media customers. Would really appreciate your comments.

Hello,
I went through your blog and I would say that found it impressive. I’m a second year student of European Studies at the University of Malmo/Sweden. Naturally, from Bulgaria/Sofia.Currently, I am doing my year as an exchange student at the University of Seville/Spain (for the first term) and at the University of Granada/Spain (second term). I would like to contribute to your work in this blog. Honestly, I have no experience in the shpere of journalism and publishing, besides one month training at one of the Bulgarian national newspapers. However, I would be extremely happy having the chance to improve my skills and deepen my knowledge. Although, I have not experience, I think that my work, help, colaboration could be useful for the following reasons: I have plenty of contacts with people from different parts of Europe, taking into account my background. Also, I am originally from Bulgaria (an Eastern European country) where concepts like ‘media pluralism’, ‘investigative journalism’ or ‘freedom of speach’ are relatively new. In the future, I would like to dedicate myself at improving the level of journalism in Bulgaria, especially the points, emphasized in Article 19. Therefore,my work for this blog, will inevitably contribute to my personal develpment.
If you anyway decide that I could be useful for the developing of the blog contact me.

Hi Paul,
this looks great! Well done… I’m attempting a similar approach of trying to provide a collection of tools for data exploration (it’s not ready yet) at the University of York ( http://pppeoplepppowered.blogspot.com/ ).
The idea is to try and find connections between people (using social media, google searches and web site data) and then add those connections, however spurious as a starting point for a social media tool… Something to nosey around and explore…
Keep up the good work, it’s a great idea…
Tom

Hi Paul, I’m interested in contributing to your blog. Can you tell me how I can get involved? Thanks!
I’ll send you an email…
I find your blog interesting I have a website/blog that also delivers information about the Island of St Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean http://www.clickonsthelenaisland.com.
It originally started as a blog but has been developed into a Information web portal however its is not always easy to get information from the Island as i am now based in the UK it would be interesting to know if you have any tips on getting info from remote locations like St Helena for collating into a new blog on my web portal
As it happens one of my MA students at Birmingham – Simon Pipe – is exploring that area. My advice has been to explore community management – I’m sure he’ll have more to tell than me in the next few months.

Dear Mr. Bradshaw,
I hope this finds you well. I am Hiroyuki Hayashi, Dentsu’s creative director working on the Tokyo Shimbun app you commented on for the BBC article. Yes, as you have mentioned, there are many nuts to crack but we hope to sophisticate the usage of AR and provide interesting content for readers of different age groups and interests. I will keep you posted with our new developments.
Kind regards,

Dear Paul,
I am writing from the Institute of Art and Ideas in Britain which organises an annual festival of ideas where we film every debate and talk. I just came across your website and thought that you might be interested in a video we’ve released recently.
Entitled “The Rise and Fall of The Fourth Estate: Leveson Inquiry & the Future of the Media”, it’s a debate between MPs, columnists and philosophers examining the power of the media within society.
I thought this debate might appeal to you and your readers, and if you think it does it would be lovely if you could share it with them.
Best regards,
Tom Cheley

Thank you a bunch for sharing this with all of us you really recognize what you’re talking approximately! Bookmarked. Kindly also seek advice from my web site =). We may have a link trade agreement between us
Spot on with this write-up, I actually feel this website needs
far more attention. I’ll probably be returning to read through more, thanks for the advice!
Alle wissen , dass nicht nur ein gutes Geburtstagsgeschenk während einer Geburtstagsparty wirklich wichtig ist.
Natürlicherweise freut sich jedes Geburtstagskind auch über einen deklamierten Geburtstagspruch, der
seine Geburtstagsparty unvergesslich macht.
Heutzutage gibt es wirklich viele Möglichkeiten, einen tollen Spruch zum Geburtstag zu finden.
Ganz allgemein gesagt, kann man sich sowohl für kurze Geburtstagssprüche als auch für ein bisschen längere
Gedichte zum Geburtstag entscheiden. Die kürzeren Geburtstagsgedichte kann man
offensichtlich auch per SMS versenden. Die auf vielen Webseiten vorgeschlagenen lange Geburtstagsgedichte kann man
dagegen während der Party deklamieren – sicher wird der Jubilar davon begeistert.
Witzige Geburtstagsgedichte bilden eine tolle Lösung, wenn
man Gedichte z.B. zum 18. Geburtstag braucht. Wenn man aber eher neutrale Geburtstagssprüche braucht, die sich für jedes Geburtstagskind
eignen, sollte man einfach ein Zitat wählen. Ein neutraler Spruch oder ein nicht
sehr langes Geburtstagsgedicht kann man z.B. während der Party zum Geburtstag des Chefs oder
eines Mitarbeiters rezitieren.
Immer kann man auch einen gefundenen Spruch ein wenig modifizieren,
damit er besser zur Gelegenheit und zum Geburtstagskind passt.
Man kann sicher sein, angebrachte Wünsche zum Geburtstag werden nie vergessen.

Ein bisschen ironische Wünsche zum Geburtstag bedeuten eine interessante Lösung, im Fall, wenn man einen Spruch z.B.

Ein neutraler Spruch oder ein nicht besonders langes Gedicht kann man z.B.
auf der Party des Vorgesetzten oder eines Mitarbeiters vortragen.
Jedenfalls kann man auch einen im Internet gefundenen Spruch
ein wenig abwandeln, damit er besser zum konkreten Anlass und zum Jubilar passt.
Man kann sicher sein, angebrachte Geburtstagswünsche bleiben
lange im Kopf des Jubilars.
