If there’s an error of fact, publications may amend the digital text and add a correction, usually at the bottom of the Web page. Editors often put through non-factual changes without bothering to notify readers at all. Rarely do corrections or clarifications carry any kind of explanation: how the reporter got the wrong vote count for an important bill; why the editor decided that the penultimate paragraph wasn’t really necessary. There’s a stunning lack of transparency.

Josh Stearns shares his favorite digital journalism from 2013. What would you add to this list?
Reblogged from Talking To Strangers
Across all our countries, the under 35 age group overwhelming prefer online and interactive news, while the older half of the population prefer TV, radio and print. That underlies the big dilemma news organisations face – they can’t turn off the old ways of delivering news, but they have to embrace the new at the same time. That is expensive and hard to do culturally as you need new skills.
Nic Newman, author of the Reuters Digital Report, which is set to be released Thursday at #GEN13.
