[Air-L] UPDATE: Glossary: new media & journalism

[Charlie Balch]

Niels,
It looks like you are correctly casting a wide net. Here's a few more for
your consideration from someone who has more of a CIS than journalistic
lens:

Trolls,
Lurking,
Click-through,
Phishing,
Section 508,
Digital divide,
Chunking vs. continuous text,
Banner exchange,
Google Docs,
RSS,
Branding,
Blog,
iGoogle,
Artificial ad click counts,
Hover ads,
Popup ads,
Live banner,
News etymology,
Online advertising.

That was free association on my part and some of those might need some
explaining <GRIN>. Feel free to ask why I thought they should be on your
list. 

There's also some literature on effective web page layout which was part of
the focus of my dissertation. Jakob Nielsen is a good place to start for web
design -- I think Jakob doesn't publish in traditional journals because he'd
rather earn money. 

You might also consider having the class create a web area as a group and/or
individually where your students post/blog. I've not kept up with
journalistic web design but Mambo comes to mind.

Subject: [Air-L] UPDATE: Glossary: new media & journalism

Some days ago I sent a message to this list to ask for help in preparing a
course on the opportunities of new media for journalism students.

I wanted to create a glossary with relevant terms.

I've had some interesting suggestions (from a.o. Kevin Guidry, Jay Hauben,
Bertil Hatt & Martin Garthwaite. Thanks!). 

They told me to add:
SMS 
Flash mob/flash crowd - both linked to the mobile-idea
Meme
Reddit
OhMyNews
e-mail
listserv 
instant messaging
newsgroup
ftp - The idea is that you first learn on the 'old' technologies to fully
understand the importance and impact of the new ones.

>From their suggestions I did not include domain squatting (not relevant -
though Kevins argument that this term serves as a starting point for a
broader discussion on the importance of domain names, is relevant.); Social
network Software(I think this is covered by other terms); netizen (by
creating a separate term for internet users, you are in fact marginalizing
the people on the internet. In my opinion 'everyone' is using the net) & the
triptic Journalist / Expert / Active Reader (they are covered in a separate
lesson dealing with the produser-idea).

But maybe I should include them...

Any more suggestions?
