in Ofcom’s eyes. Most people using the internet said they do so to access information, while75 per cent of these said they will check e-mail once a week. However concerns about identitytheft, spam and viruses troubles one in three users, while concern about online content ishigher online than any other than media platform. By contrast, just one in ten UK adults areconcerned about content on TV, most often due to material they deem offensive. Despitewoes about content, the highest area of interest for many of the 3,000 respondents waslearning how to use the internet. A further third of participants said they preferred to learnmore about digital platforms and services, whether they are available through their TV orcomputer screens.

March 6, 2006http://www.freelanceuk.com/1602.shtmlJournalism AwardsUnited States of AmericaThe New York Times and The Washington Post were the top winners as this year’s PulitzerPrizes for journalism were announced at Columbia University. In an unusual event, therewere two winners in two categories, including the coveted Public Service slot -- shared by theTimes-Picayune in New Orleans and the Sun Herald in Biloxi, Miss. The Post won four prizesand the Times won three. The Times-Picayune had not been named one of the three finalistsfor Public Service by the judges--but was elevated into a winner by the Pulitzer Board, asallowed in the procedure. Sig Gissler, Pulitzer administrator, said today it was only the fifthtime there were double winners in Public Service and the sixth time in national reporting."It is quite unusual for a Public Service winner to win in another category for essentially thesame entry," he said, referring to the Times-Picayune also winning for Breaking News.Here is the list of winners in the journalism categories, selected by the Pulitzer Board fromthree finalists in each category picked by judges. The finalists follow. (If you are keepingscore at home, E&P's leaked list of Pulitzer finalists, which we posted last month, turned outto be accurate in all 14 categories.)http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002345286; April 17, 2006Do-It-Yourself / Citizen JournalismRepublic of Korea – JapanOne of the most successful citizen journalism ventures, Korea’s OhmyNews, said it hadreceived an $11-million investment from Softbank. Softbank’s cash infusion gives the Tokyobasedfirm 12.95 percent of OhmyNews’ outstanding shares. Six-year-old OhmyNews, whichhas previously said it is profitable, will use the investment to launch a Japanese news site, thefirst “stepping stone” of the soon-to-be-formed OhmyNews International. It also plans todevelop its video journalism arm and improve its English-language edition. OhmyNews CEOOh Yeon Ho has built a team of almost 40,000 citizen reporters who are compensated fornewsworthy pieces. At a gathering of OhmyNews contributors last summer, he told them“You have made one-way journalism into two-way journalism. Citizens are no longerspectators. A new era has begun in which regular citizens can become reporters wheneverthey so desire, and by doing so contribute to public opinion.” ‘Asian participatory anything isjust way ahead, whether it’s Japan or Korea.’ A team of editors maintains the site, whichreportedly has more than 500,000 visitors a day, and contributes a small portion of its content.58

The newspaper will replace its Tuesday throughSaturday tables with a one-page package of stories, graphics, and photos highlighting themost significant market events of the day.

In print, the new daily package will include stories and graphics describing marketactivity and highlighting five companies whose stocks moved significantly. Tables will showlocal and national stocks that were most actively traded and gained or lost the most on apercentage basis.
