Nieman Reports: The Digital Landscape

I’d like to recommend to you some of the articles in the most recent edition of the Nieman Reports from Harvard.

There are a few interesting articles by people I had the good fortune to meet over the last year while at Stanford.

You can find the entire report here but I would like to draw your particular attention to a few stories filed by friends and colleagues.

Professor Clifford Nass explores the issue of multi-tasking here.

Knight Fellow Krissy Clark looks at geo-location in reporting here.

Mike Liebhold, a researcher from the Institute For the Future and a speaker at Stanford at a number of events looks at augmented reality here.

And past Knight Fellow Burt Herman looks at how journalists and computer scientists can work together here.

In full disclosure, I did a speculation on what the semantic Web could mean if some of the visions of standardized linked data become true for this same magazine.

It was a pleasure to work with editor Melissa Ludtke and her team and I can recommend it to other journalists who might have the opportunity.
