Blogs and journalism: Le Monde case study

moblogged from the panel

Last Friday in Lisbon, at the World Association of Newspapers Conference, Stéphane Mazzorato (LeMonde.fr) and myself have presented our thoughts on blogs and journalism and the Le Monde case study

LeMonde.fr has not only launched blogs for many journalists, but also blogs for their readers.

Here are the journalists blogs online today:

Big Picture, par Corine Lesnes
La république des Livres, par Pierre Assouline
Do not fold, par Virginie Luc
Technochroniques, par Tariq Krim
Transnets, par Francis Pisani
Langue sauce piquante
Copier - Décoller
Europe : pour ou contre la Constitution ?

A few blogs of Le Monde readers started even before the official launch next week:
James
Skildy
Pierre Bachy
trblt (ressources pédagogiques)

I will post a real case study when I have time but in the meantime should you be interested I have podcasted our presentation and uploaded the slides.

Thanks again Bertrand Pecquerie and Yann Mauchamp of the World Association of Newspapers for having invited us and thanks Monde.fr for having presented the case study even before the official launch. I strongly advise you to also read their blog written for the Editors community, the Editorsweblog. Of course, at the end of the presentation I also encouraged everybody to read Dan Gillmor's book "We the Media".
