I wasn’t convinced that this Guardian post really added much to the ’should journalists code’ debate (something we didn’t really discuss at news:rewired) but I thought Tony Hirst’s contribution was worth pulling out from the comments:
I was also at at the news:rewired event where Hadfield made his announcement, getting a feeling for the extent to [...]
Programming, not coding, is key for journalists, says Hirst

rewiring
Jan 15th, 2010
I’m mostly offline until Monday but I thought I’d post a few of my highlights from today’s news:rewired event. Keep an eye on Journalism.co.uk / http://newsrewired.com for further session material / video content etc. It felt a little odd not to be live-blogging (Laura and I left that to the student blogger team and the many other [...]
If our marketing has been anywhere near successful, you should have heard about news:rewired by now - 14 January 2010. It’s Journalism.co.uk’s first big conference event, marking our 10th anniversary (my boss John Thompson set it up in 1999). It’s been fun getting it going and the delegate / speaker list looks pretty damn good, [...]
FleetStreetBlues post with Belle de Jour’s quote referencing the manufacture of consent reminded me to do this post. Noam Chomsky’s recent visit to the UK was immensely popular: the LSE website was inaccessible within minutes of the tickets going on sale; at SOAS a line of last-minute hopefuls snaked down the corridor outside the lecture [...]

Members and non-members alike can put their questions to the eight candidates on the Journalism.co.uk forum - and vote in an informal poll.
See the NUJ’s [...]
An ode to the boss, or perhaps not: Carolyn who?
Sep 6th, 2009
Guardian Media Group’s chief executive must have been thrilled to read a column dedicated to her own first name in this week’s Observer Magazine… Or perhaps not. The future of Kathryn Flett’s pay cheque is at the economising hands of GMG, but she couldn’t think of one famous Carolyn for her most recent OM article. [...]
Clinging onto Jon Snow’s optimism
Jun 23rd, 2009
As I noted over at Journalism.co.uk today, I’ll be occasionally posting or cross-posting over at Global Voices Online in future. Other contributors have been more than welcoming so far and I’m looking forward to meeting new people - albeit online rather than in person - and encountering new material and ideas via participation. Here’s my [...]
Lynn Barber and Howard Marks: a deviation
Jun 7th, 2009
I was surprised, when reading part of a friend’s copy of Howard Marks’ autobiography, Mr Nice, last weekend (planning to get it out from the library this week) at his mention of a relationship with a certain Lynn Barber of St Anne’s college, Oxford. He called her ‘rivetingly glamourous’.
Barber, renowned interviewer, herself has written of [...]
