Mark Day, shameless and wrong

Mark Day by-passes a decade of blogging and pioneer work in conversational media by others, in order to write a shameless advertorial for his News Ltd masters - a piece that includes this howler.

The Punch was the first local site to try to create a format to meet the habits of that part of the audience that had forsaken the traditional and more formal methods of news delivery.

Not even close. Still, I welcome Mr Day to the year 2000 media wise, and I look forward to his next advertorial.

((I know Day is struggling to get with it, and good on him for airing his thoughts in public, but jeebus his posts are excruciatingly bad. I suppose a certain generation reads this stuff and thinks of him as a cutting edge new media maven.))

National Times a lifeless commentary sheet

Fairfax's commentary experiment the National Times is now live.

Immediate thought? Unlike News Ltd's The Punch and Crikey this looks like a pretty lifeless attempt at the commentary and aggregation game - and it looks like yet another newspaper transported to the web - it's on the web, but not really a part of it.
