DIY news website and more...

DIY news website
Journalism 2.0 author Mark Briggs has created “Newspaper in a box”, a step-by-step guide to creating an independent news website from scratch. Presented by J-Learning, an online guide for creating hyper-local community media and a project of J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism, the site emphasises accessibility and open-source technology. Check it out here http://www.walkleys.com/news/480

Monsoon looms for Indian media
Falling advertising revenue, ethically suspect advertorial initiatives and rapidly changing reader tastes have combined to rock the Indian newspaper industry. The new issue of The Walkley Magazine examines the Indian media scene plus much more. Visit http://www.walkleys.com/features/339/

Helping hands across the region
The Alliance Safety and Solidarity Appeal is supporting three disaster relief efforts for media workers and their families in Indonesia, the Philippines and Samoa, which have suffered recent natural disasters. The support includes a program to set up a system for media personnel in Samoa to address issues arising from reporting on wide-scale disaster. The program will be conducted by the Dart Centre for Journalism and Trauma at the request of the IFJ and the Samoa journalists’ association.
