WSJ's #WorldStream: An internal video-filing app goes public

Niemanlab :: While WorldStream aims to be a way for viewers to get a potpourri of fresh video content, it is first and foremost an internal newsroom tool that the Journal has opted to make public.

Editorial control? - The Wall Street Journal dismisses environmental threats since 1976

MediaMatters for America :: To forestall policy on climate change, the Wall Street Journal editorial board routinely downplays scientific consensus, overstates the cost of taking action, and claims that politics, not science, motivate those concerned about the climate.

Fortune Tech | CNN Money :: When asked why the Washington Post hasn't put its content behind a paywall like The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal have, CEO Don Graham explained that 90% of the Post's audience is outside of the Washington area—but that the paper itself has only local distribution—so the premise simply doesn't make sense.

How ProPublica changed investigative reporting

Guardian :: Paul Steiger is one of the men I admire the most in my profession. Five years ago, at the age of 65, and after a 16-year tenure as the Wall Street Journal's managing editor, he seized the opportunity to create a new form of investigative journalism.
