Well worth a look. ]]> http://www.johnmorrish.com/journolist/whatsnew/2008/03/free-online-books.html http://www.johnmorrish.com/journolist/whatsnew/2008/03/free-online-books.html Thu, 27 Mar 2008 09:31:21 +0000 Journa-list journa-list, an interesting site that is intended to help members of the public find out more about UK journalists, what they write about, and who they write for. Type in a writer's name and read off what the site can find out about them: it gives you their most recent article, previous articles, and the topics they mention most. All very ingenious. I notice it says about me that I have "fewer bylined articles than the average journalist". It's true, too, especially when the survey is based on a survey of only 15 sites. Nice name for the site, too. I wonder how they thought of it? ]]> http://www.johnmorrish.com/journolist/whatsnew/2008/01/journalist.html http://www.johnmorrish.com/journolist/whatsnew/2008/01/journalist.html Mon, 14 Jan 2008 14:26:31 +0000 Watch your step Press Complaints Commission, which organises self-regulation of the press in the UK, has a special site for its Editors' Code Of Practice Committee, where you can find a downloadable pdf of the Editors' Codebook. This is a detailed guide to the code and how it works in practice, including lots of examples of successful and unsuccessful complaints. Interesting and useful.  ]]> http://www.johnmorrish.com/journolist/whatsnew/2008/01/watch-your-step.html http://www.johnmorrish.com/journolist/whatsnew/2008/01/watch-your-step.html Wed, 02 Jan 2008 09:01:01 +0000 Behind you! the history of pantomime.

The sites included are The Times, the Guardian, the Independent, the Daily Telegraph, the Sun, the Daily Express, the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror, and the Financial Times. The results of the search do not come up in date order, however, so you have to have your wits about you to use it. For current material you need to use the RSS feeds. ]]> http://www.johnmorrish.com/journolist/whatsnew/2007/10/uk-newspaper-search.html http://www.johnmorrish.com/journolist/whatsnew/2007/10/uk-newspaper-search.html Mon, 29 Oct 2007 09:07:09 +0000 The Times It Is A'Changing New York Times has started making some of its archive content available free. It's a bit confusing, but the free material seems to cover 1986 to the present and 1851 to 1922 (because it's in the public domain). Stuff from 1923 to 1985 may be free but you will have to pay for some of it. More details from the NYT itself.
