I have yet to figure out a good way to publish my relevant del.icio.us links in this space. I’ve tried the “daily blog posting” feature that’s described step-by-step on Theory Is The Reason, but the results were less than ideal.
Bear with me while I experiment. If you’d like to get these links automatically, subscribe to the RSS feed or add me to your network.
Meanwhile, today’s interesting news-related reads and useful tools:
Eric Ulken has created a tag cloud culled from the nearly 2,800 anonymous comments posted at AngryJournalist.com.
What’s interesting is the most frequent words by far are “work,” “story,” “people” and “editor” (which is, technically, a person too).
Without reading through each comment, Eric’s data tells me journalists are mad about the same things most workers are: They don’t like certain aspects of their jobs and they don’t like their coworkers.
Without more context, someone trying to tackle the problem wouldn’t have a lot to go on, showing once again the tag cloud is a decent navigation tool, but not a useful interpretive tool.
