[...] a Rebooting The News with Jay last night. It was done in a studio at NYU, which has advantages (you can hear us well) [...]

I finally got a chance to listen and was, as usual, interested in and impressed by all the comments and ideas.

Throughout the history of RTN, I do feel like we’re hearing more of Dave’s ideas for the future of the news than Jay’s. Jay’s manner implies some disagreements (e.g., about the SUL or Dave’s ideas for the future of the NY Times) but we never quite hear the details. Or am I missing some good posts somewhere?

OK, never mind — it’s http://rebootnews.com/feed/

This isn’t obvious, at least not in the sense that if I try to subscribe to the base URL of the site on iTunes — which works in many cases — it fails.

[Dave/Jay/whomever is moderating -- feel free to delete both of these, but perhaps a more obvious pointer would be useful.]

Yes it’s the feed for this blog, the one you’re commenting on.

Hi,

Further to Michael’s question: is there a podcast feed for Rebooting the News at all now?

Is blog talk radio deprecated? http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Rebooting-The-News.rss didn’t get this episode. A quick note to your listeners there would be appreciated!

I’ve heard others ask the same question Dave did about why the Times is making an announcement now about a paywall that’s supposed to start next year (“if you were going to do it, why not just do it?). Jay also refers to it as a strange announcement. But isn’t this just signaling to the other newspaper sites that are talking about paywalls? Am I missing something?

If you are both in NY – why not do these via video now???

I had a vision! Dave made it visual for me in discussing his buy-an-op-ed/story idea (not mentioned in the post). When he described the paper’s story on the left with a line down the middle the page separating the paid-for content on the right, I saw it and it looked like the Talmud. Here’s the original stuff, then here’s what other people have to say about it.

Picking up on a few comments at the beginning of today’s show – would love a future show discussing how people/students contend with the brass tacks at the intersection of news media and web technology – “wonks v. geeks”? Seems a natural with Jay a media critic grokking technology and Dave a technologist grokking media. Jay mentioned a couple of CS students taking his classes and most listeners will be familiar with Adrian Holovaty’s example. But also, double-majors aside, how might journalists & developers approach working together, assuming the majority cannot be expected to embody deep talent in both domains?
