你多久没看报纸了?互联网时代的报业危机

newspapers.jpg

以下内容(节选)转自网易专题——互联网时代的传统媒体高峰论坛,在社会化媒体(social media)盛行的时代,不仅对传统媒体造成了很大冲击,甚至对一些传统门户网站,尤其是依托地方传统媒体的门户网站也造成一定影响,以下的专题内容对于想让自己变得更“社会化”的网站有一定的启示。

一、互联网改变阅读习惯——“发现” VS “搜索”

互联网催生了SNS、IM、博客(微型博客)和门户等多种新型的信息载体,这些载体由此颠覆了读者的传统阅读习惯。Web 2.0时代,读者阅读的行为由“搜索”变成了“发现”:通过报纸或者杂志,读者的阅读行为几乎完全基于个人检索——无论是自主抑或被动的,只有抱着足够明确的目标,才能有效获得资讯。资讯能通过一个“News Feed”、一封转帖、一篇被推荐到门户首页的博客等各种分享信息被随机推送到我们面前,阅读于是演变为充满惊喜的“发现”过程。
1.利用SNS,新闻网站创造了更多的点击量
2.通过互联网,更多人分享到朋友推荐的信息

二、互联网改变阅读体验——多维阅读时代的到来

互联网的出现,丰富了读者的阅读体验,文字和读图时代不禁显得有点“怀旧”。从内容的制作到内容的呈现,互联网让读者以全方位、多角度、多渠道地接受到信息。从内容制作者来看,无论是个人还是媒体专业人员都被授予了发布内容的权力;从信息的内容上看,个人用各种无线终端上传的视频、图片甚至一行文字都构成了可阅读的内容。Youtube、Flickr等在线分享网站的兴起,完全颠覆了媒体从业者对信息权威性的垄断。
1.“旧窗口”面临瓦解,“新窗口”正在建立
2.网络“自媒体”对传统媒体构成挑战

三、互联网改变传播路径——“点对点”时代的结束

读者通过传统媒体获得的体验,无论是直接购买、借阅一份报纸或杂志,大部分传播路径都局限在点对点的:读者通过个人购买了报纸或杂志获得资讯,或者在获得资讯之后分享给有限的个人。新媒体的出现,则彻底颠覆了这种效率低而范围狭窄的传播路径,同样是SNS上的“News Feed”、转帖或者微博上的短消息,让所有在这个平台上的受众同时接受了这一资讯——并且,作为消息的发布者,你可能永远不知道有多少人接受了这一信息。
1.数字时代传播路径中的“合与分”
2.网报融合后,我们的读者到底有多少?

四、互联网改变内容供应方式——内容组织的非结构化

翻开一张报纸或是一本杂志,编辑的思维几乎就决定了读者的思维。目录、索引、栏目还有页码等诸多元素,为读者的阅读设定了条条框框,无论你想不想看,你实际上都得一页一页地翻。但新媒体时代,信息就彻底地被打散了:没有目录,没有索引,没有栏目也没有页码,SNS和IM的用户根本无法预知何时何地会接收到新的信息,同时,无需再为那些他们不感兴趣的内容付费和投入精力。
1.谷歌:我们扮演的角色是“虚拟报亭”
2.“微内容”挑战传统新闻组织形式

五、互联网改变广告营销理念——广告应该如何投放?

互联网的出现极其所带来的变化,让平面媒体不得不因为广告市场份额的萎缩重新规划商业模式——广告商似乎越来越倾向于数字媒体。微软总裁鲍尔默也表示,“不少人认为现有的广告模式并没有带来盈利,然而谷歌搜索已经赚到了钱。”数字广告是所有人下一部需要考虑的问题,鲍尔默还宣称,平媒商业模式要成功转型,就必须把网络环境和实用性正确相结合,为消费者创建一个有吸引力的网络站点。
1.广告仍然是新闻业未来的“曙光”
2.点击量不是网络广告的“上帝”

Newsmap


今我发现了一个挺有创意的新闻网站 Newsmap。该网站是利用 Google News 的资源,然后将新闻进行分类,用更具视觉冲击也更直观的方式呈现出来,但是略显花哨而且颜色太多不易阅读。

Photobucket

最上方的导航是国家,有意大利,英国,美国等多个国家,可以选择一个或者多选。下方右侧是新闻的分类,有世界新闻,国家新闻,商业新闻,健康新闻等多个分类,也可以选择。不同颜色代表不同的分类。
另外右下侧还有图例,颜色最浅的就是最近10分钟的新闻,次浅的为最近10分钟到一小时的,颜色最深的就是一小时之前的。至于新闻方块的大小,我觉得应该是根据同类新闻来源的多少所确定的。

Photobucket

鼠标指针移到一个新闻标题上就会出现新闻概要和新闻图片,点击就能进入新闻来源页面。

Photobucket

当然也不能少了搜索,而且搜索结果的呈现也更视觉化。比如当搜索 swine flu(猪流感)的时候,大部分的新闻都是健康类别里的(紫色)。

Internet Overtakes Newspapers as News Source in US

From Pew Research comes the unsurprising, err, news, that the internet is preferred over newspapers as a US source of national and international news.
Pew
It’s amazing to me how high TV is on that question - especially after the appalling US network and cable news reporting over the last 10 years. I’ve essentially switched TV news off for over 10 years. Ok - over 20 years.
Indeed right now, for under 30’s, 59% say they get most of their news online, and only 59% say they use TV as a news source at all.
pew
Look at the internet jump from 2007 to 2008 - amazing, but look at the TV slide. I wonder how much of that was due to the US election, and the appalling network coverage versus the internet, radio and newspapers.

Which news website wins New Zealand Election?

In first place: TVNZ. There is no rolling text commentary:

TVNZ
But despite a tag saying video is only available to NZ viewers the video link actually works and I am now watching TVNZ’s coverage. It seems to have been filtered through a smeared lens but it’s coverage nonetheless.


TVNZ live
I do find it amusing that commercials are not sent offshore. Actually it is great because the signal just goes quiet rather, which is bliss.

In seocond place: Stuff - Updates every 5-15 minutes, has a bit of commentary as well.

Stuff
It’s interesting to see the rebranding they have done to “Fairfax media”, showing the Stuff logo alongside the major mastheads.

In third place NZHerald. Great commentary but updates are a bit slow at 30 minutes so far. The have sped up a bit as the last one was at 10 minutes.

stuff

Twitter/NZElection is next with updates every 5-15 minutes, but less comprehensive than Stuff and just repeats election.co.nz results.


Last is TV3 who have a basic summary page which seems to be the election/govt data.

TV3

什锦八宝fans圈

I can't believe there exists a fan zone website called "什锦八宝fans圈" for President Hu Jin Tao and Premier Wen Jia Bao. The site, which already has almost 97,000 registered fans, is full of stories about the two senior officials, and features pictures of them in happy poses with farmers, students and the aged.

As many of you may know, someone has started a Facebook profiles for both Hu Jin Tao and Wen Jia Bao.
