Careful. Don Henley will kick you when you’re up, and kick you when you’re down.

Let’s hear it. Is Conor wrong?
(via theatlantic)
Yes. Also, if I were a Notre Dame alum I’d be fairly offended at being lumped in with a racist institution like Bob Jones.

Knight News Challenge on Networks opens: Your shot...
newschallenge:
Today, and for the following 19 days, the Knight News Challenge is open for business. The theme of the challenge is Networks.
The most common question I’ve been asked since we announced the challenge is exactly what we mean by Networks. We’re trying not to define the term too narrowly, but I thought a look at David Sarnoff, the creator of the broadcast network in the U.S., might...

Santorum: Democratic Party An Orgy Of Sex And... →
spytap:
From “viable” Presidential candidate Rick Santorum. Man, this guy is the gift that keeps on giving. Also in the same article, Santorum explains how it’s impossible to be a liberal and a Christian. A comic genius, he is.
Oh my GOD I’ve got to start going to more Democratic party events.

Tumblr Staff: A New Policy Against Self-Harm Blogs →
staff:
One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech,…
Some really nice, thoughtful work from our policy folks on this.

Oh, Hello There, Ezra Klein
wonklife:
Can I ask a dumb Tumblr question? Is there the equivalent of a newsfeed for Tumblr, where I can see the posts of everyone I’m following threaded chronologically? And if not, what’s the point of following people?
Update: Ah. The dashboard. Got it. Told you it was a dumb question.
Welcome!

On the Tumblr #Politics Tag
politicalprof:
There is an interesting and it seems to me entirely appropriate debate going on on Tumblr right now about how the #Politics tag works, the kinds of posts that get marked with it, and in particular whether the vile and hate-filled bloviations of one of the Tumblr #Politics editors, Ryking, ought to lead to his removal from his post as a #Politics editor.
I must confess to more...
Anthony Shadid, 1968-2012 →

megangreenwell:
Shortly after David Hoffman, then the foreign editor of The Washington Post, overcame all of his better judgement and decided to send my 23-year-old intern self to Baghdad, he told me to go talk to Anthony Shadid, who was in Washington on book leave. It’s safe to say this prospect terrified me more than the actual trip to Iraq.

How Daphne Guinness wound up appearing in “The Legend of Lady White Snake,” the short film that will introduce GK Reid’s Genghis Khan collection, shows just how entwined the fashion world is.

Is A Reblog The New Byline?
futurejournalismproject:
Interesting idea submitted by Alakananda Mookerjee (blog / Tumblr) — FJP.
My reloaded résumé quotes a quixotic statistic—the number of my original and curated posts. I mention the number of times I have reblogged others, and others, have reblogged me.
No, I am quipping. But, stick around.
As nearly all of us know, today, the profession of news reporting is in a state...

NOVA YORK - Não faz nem cinco meses, a rede de blogs Tumblr era apenas uma promissora empresa de internet no vasto universo de startups de tecnologia americanas. Em setembro passado, no entanto, investidores - e concorrentes - passaram a olhar de forma diferente para o site de hospedagem de blogs criado pelo americano David Karp em 2007.
