As all of Oklahoma and much of the web is now aware, The Daily O’Collegian at Oklahoma State University recently ran a prominent headline that was beneath its typical professionalism. As I previously posted, the student newspaper topped a front page centerpiece about a new strip club opening near campus with the header: “Diamond in the Muff.”

Posted in Journalism, New Media, tagged Blog, Journalism, Media, Romenesko, Technology on February 2, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Jim Romenesko is having a good time. Lately, the “journalism evangelist,” “KING of the blogosphere,” and “go-to source for news about the news” has been waking up earlier, posting more often, and featuring content he had not felt free to publish for more than a decade. In the wake of his abrupt departure from The Poynter Institute late last year, he established an eponymous independent site that has quickly been embraced by media professionals, educators, students, and even a few Facebook spammers worldwide.

It was quickly deleted, but not before at least one reader spotted and retweeted it. The paper soon after apologized.

Student Press Version of ‘Lazy Higher Ed Journalism’
Posted in College Media, Journalism, Story Ideas, tagged College, Journalism, Media on January 26, 2012 | 3 Comments »
A write-up on “Lazy Higher Education Journalism” (spurred by a separate report on “Lazy Education Journalism” in general) recently achieved B-list viral status within the education and journalism communities. In her Inside Higher Ed essay, Melanie Fullick charges news media with inefficient, often superficial reporting on relevant issues such as school rankings, technology’s impact on education, the value and characteristics of international students and faculty, and the various “solutions” offered as panaceas to supposedly ailing higher learning institutions.
