Hello Citizen: Headline headghgh

Thursday afternoon; I returned from work to see the Times and Citizen on my door mat, I took a picture of it on my phone and uploaded to Twitter.

Sunday evening; that picture will have been seen by a recorded 57,000 people, reused on The Huffington Post, The Guardian and Photoshop Disasters, blogged and tweeted all over the world and available on a T-Shirt.

But how did this happen, how do you cause a 'Twitter sensation'?

The story behind the headline.

Whilst a lot is written about the power of the press, this really does emphasise the power of the web. It also highlights the diversity of distribution methods and channels available to one and all.

Old media, new media and the UK election

The televised debates have brought all this sharply into focus. The gloating, self-satisfaction of the TV crowd is so palpable, and somehow, so pathetic.

Teens Not Into Twitter, TV, Radio, or Newspapers, Reports Young Morgan Stanley Intern

When commercials come on, teens, unlike more patient older generations who grew up without fast-forward buttons and DVRs, simply change the channel.

Can Local Newspapers Still win at Digital?

While writing this post, I had an encounter I’d like to share. Stopping for a cuppa in a local cafe I found most seats full and asked a chap, sat filling in the crossword over a pot of tea, if he’d mind if I join him.

He didn’t mind at all and moved his papers so I could put down my tray.

“Help yourself,” he said, nodding towards the tabloids on the table with a shrug. “They’re todays papers, but yesterday’s news.”
