A strange and interesting case concerning fair use/fair dealing has played out over the last few days at TechDirt, a group blog that’s been around since 1997 and that has a large online community.

I just spent an hour watching David Wertime of Tea Leaf Nation talk about China and how to cover it through social media.

Speaking about the future of news, don’t miss Jeff Jarvis‘ long post on this topic over at BuzzMachine. Its focus is on local news but there’s general ideas to apply on national/topic news as well. Some great stuff! And I like his focus on community/network driven news. Jarvis doesn’t believe investigative journalism will suffer. He […]
