Should journalism worry about content marketing?
Columbia Journalism Review
At a glance, the Daily Growl could be any morning news meeting held in the “win the internet through pet videos” bureau of a lavishly funded media startup. Rows of eager young people stand behind their monitors — “TMZ-style,” managing editor Lisa Keller explained — as Keller solicits memes and news pegs to supplement the content already scheduled on the team’s editorial calendar. Any of the team’s 10 “community managers” and eight designers might produce as many as 10 postings a day.
VoicePort LLC

They must also allow for sometimes-expensive maintenance to fix bugs and tweaking the app to meet consumer preference and functions.
VoicePort has developed CircPort Mobile to address the above business considerations and provide newspapers with a powerful Circulation Customer service application for the newspaper industry.
The Texas Tribune is 5-years-old and sustainable. Now what?
Nieman Lab
The Tribune was created to be different from the start. Combine the instincts of a reporter with the guile of a door-to-door salesman and throw in an appetite for experimentation — now, on the site’s fifth anniversary, it looks like those instincts have paid off. The staff has collected plenty of accolades for its journalism. It’s averaging nearly 3 million pageviews a month. It’s on or atop any list of America’s most successful nonprofit news outlets.

Journalism.co.uk
As more journalists choose crowdfunding as a way to finance individual projects or kickstart new media organizations, what impact does being funded directly by readers have on the way journalists work?

8 content campaigns that have rocked 2014 — from the native advertising gurus
Adweek
It says something about our media culture that in a short time the term “native advertising” has gone from industry buzzword to pop culture punch line. Recently on "Last Week Tonight," John Oliver delivers an entertaining riff about the profusion of “sponsored content” on news sites. Oliver conceded that Netflix's native ad for the New York Times about female prison inmates, promoting the series "Orange Is the New Black," was “about as good as it gets.”
Journalism, independent and not
The New York Times
There was an interesting article about how smart hardware can allow users to browse anonymously and to foil snooping from governments. While the article mentioned the need for privacy for folks like Chinese dissidents, it didn’t address the fact that Americans might want the same kind of protection.There’s a reason for that. At the bottom of the piece, there was a graphic followed by some teeny type that said, “This article was written by an author contracted by Verizon.”
Online fraud's next victim: Mobile advertising
Adweek
Mobile advertising’s lack of a cookie — a nugget of data that tracks consumers’ digital activity — is both a blessing and a curse. While marketers aren’t able to target consumers the same way they can on laptops, ad fraud also has been less prevalent. But now, with the growth of mobile ad budgets, sophisticated scammers are seeing a new lucrative opportunity.

What's behind the great podcast renaissance?
New York Magazine
In 2001, Steve Jobs announced the original iPod, a music player that would make it possible for people to carry their entire album collections in their pockets. Over the next few years, a genre of narrative audio that took the device's name — "podcasting" —became a thriving mini-industry. There were podcasts about politics, sports, literature, comedy. Many lacked polish, but most had a kind of energy to them that suited their audiences well. Sometime around 2009 or 2010, the podcast scene seemed to wither.
Jill Abramson startup to advance writers up to $100k for longform work
Poynter
Former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson recently shed some light on her plans with Steven Brill to grow a start up. Writers will be paid advances around $100,000 to produce stories that will be longer than long magazine articles but shorter than books. There will be “one perfect whale of a story” each month and it will be available by subscription.
Controlled chaos: As journalism and documentary film converge in digital, what lessons can they share?
Nieman Lab
Journalists and filmmakers are increasingly using the same tools to tell stories, and they’re releasing them on the same platforms. Recurring examples of this technical merging were the many docs released by news entities, such as Katerina Cizek’s Highrise project produced by the National Film Board of Canada and published with the Times.
How Time's email newsletter achieves a 40 percent open rate
Poynter
It seems like everybody’s starting an email newsletter these days. The web offers an endless stream of information, David Carr wrote in June, so “having something finite and recognizable show up in your inbox can impose order on all that chaos.” But the newsletter business is getting crowded now, too.
