Earlier today, Howard Kurtz held his weekly chat where he covered such topics as Tim Russert's "declaration" that the Democrat nomination has been decided, the negative coverage of Hillary Clinton and the aftermath of the cyclone in Burma/Myanmar. Some excerpts: Baltimore: Howard, what did you think of what my friends and I call the "Russert Declaration" last Tuesday? I'm of course speaking of his delphic utterance that "we have a nominee." In seems as if the media collectively is throwing in the towel and declaring the whole race over. Now, it's one thing to report that Hillary would have a very tough time winning the nomination, but to declare the race over? Or stating that "we're not going to West Virginia"? By saying such things that affected the course of events, Russert and others weren't merely acting as observers, they were acting as participants -- which I find troubling. Howard Kurtz: Welcome to the world of punditry. Tim Russert is paid to be a political analyst, so if he wants to offer his judgment (as did Bob Schieffer, George Stephanopoulos and numerous others) that there is no way for Hillary Clinton to overtake Barack Obama, I have no quarrel with that. What I do have difficulty with is straight-news Journalists rendering the same judgment when the primaries aren't over and there is at least the possibility that unexpected events could prompt the superdelegates to decide this thing in Hillary's fav ...

Journalists at last week's Global Inter-Media Dialogue , hosted by the Indonesian and Norwegian governments, stressed the need to "go back to basic tenets of journalism." Particularly targeting American journalism as practiced under the current administration, the conference denounced the widespread use by Journalists of loaded terms such as "war on terror" and "Islamic terrorists," without sufficient research into their accuracy. Participants at the conference emphasized the importance of presenting the truth as closely as possible, promoting professionalism, independence, social responsibility and tolerance of other cultures. A point was also raised regarding the immense value of placing Journalists in the field, in order that they can gain the fullest possible understanding of all sides of a story. For a journalist who worked in Bosnia for many years, this holistic knowledge was particularly prudent: "as soon as [Journalists] write stories, especially when they represent a global media firm, people take their stories as impartial." Morever, polls show that print is more trusted that web sources , making accuracy doubly important to in-depth newspaper reporting. Source: AsiaMedia ... Source: www.myantiwar.org --- 8 hours ago

By Martin Fletcher, NBC News Correspondent BANGKOK, Thailand – Let's hear it for freedom of speech! Tibet, Zimbabwe and now Myanmar are all refusing access to Journalists who want to report on the hardships of their people.
In Tibet, the Chinese are clamping down in fear that unrest will spoil the summer Olympics in Beijing; Tibetans complain of beatings and killings. In Zimbabwe, President Robert Mugabe is hanging on grimly, trying to overthrow an apparent election loss by subterfuge and violence , after running his country into the ground for twenty years. And in Myanmar, after 46 years of iron rule by a military junta, the generals wants to stop outsiders from witnessing the devastation of Cyclone Nargis. They're afraid of a threat to their power.
As a journalist who has tried to enter each of these places in the last three months and failed – my heart goes out to the citizens under stress, whose stories I would dearly like to tell, in the hope some good would come of it. But my predominant emotion is thanks to the world into which I was fortunate enough to be born. My world has enough food and my vote is a force that cannot be changed, unlike Zimbabwe; I can say what I like, unlike in Tibet; and I know I can count on my government in case of a natural disaster, unlike in Myanmar. ...( read more ) ...

Paul Bradshaw posted a video asking how journos could use Seesmic. (Click to watch the video and view responses.)
I've been playing with Seesmic once again. (It's a conversational video-sharing service, somewhat like Twitter meets YouTube.) I briefly dabbled with an alpha invitation to Seesmic a few months ago and stupidly wrote it off as a vague video blogging platform. It isn't. Seesmic is social . And I think that's very important. Seesmic is, for me, a symptom of how media is changing. It is a symptom of how video has become as inexpensive and disposable as e-mail. It is a symptom of a generation of people who are completely comfortable with visual media, and how they are rewriting that grammar. It is also a new and important part of the personal distributed media ecosystem that we are gathering around us. This stretches from a person's Facebook profile to their Twitter account, their blog, and Flickr and YouTube accounts. Just as not everyone is on Flickr, not everyone will end up on Seesmic -- but many will, and you'll need to know how to talk to them. Don't mistake Seesmic for another YouTube. Seesmic is to YouTube what Twitter is to blogging. Key to this is the fact that Seesmic works with your Twitter account -- so that new Seesmic posts are cross-posted on Twitter, and video replies are even cross-posted @ the other person's name (allowing you to discover them on ...
