Bryan Murley writes an excellent summation of the current state of college newspaper advertising. Our advertising is way down as well. The Creightonian, a weekly, is publishing smaller issues than in the past several years and trying to put more content online at creightonian.com. We are planning to cut the number of issues in the future as a cost-saving measure.

I always watch inaugurations. I love the history and the formality and then the small touches that aren’t so informal. This one does seem different. It’s so amazing to see all the crowds, see the excitment there. As I watch NBC, I also have to laugh at the anchors, experts all vying for the best anecdote. Not sure who’s the winner quite yet.
More on Twitter. I’m on it, but I don’t quite get it. This tips may help me too.

I really liked reading how a backpack journalist is making the mojo happen.
Rich Gordon has this column on Poynter Online that responds to a David Carr column on news as iTunes. What I like about both of them is the discussion that has to happen on how to pay for news and how to make sure that journalism — good journalism — continues even in this changing environment.
Amy Gahran from Poynter posted this on her Tidbits blog. It looks a great resource for those of us testing the waters, wading in or doing a belly-flop into multimedia. (I’m somewhere between wading and belly flop.)
