I especially like the navigation section at the bottom, which provides scores of easy links to different kinds of content in the newspaper. However, something is missing.

| An Associated Press story on Muslims worldwide rejecting violence against civilians provides a great lead-in to the latest Newsweek cover story on Islam in America. Based on a survey by the Pew Research Center, the AP article tells us that Muslims are “increasingly” rejecting suicide bombings, and support for Osama bin Laden is |

| but not a piece of newspaper journalism — at least, not the kind of journalism that editors place on page one in a major daily newspaper. Thus, I still wonder what the editors were thinking. Meanwhile, legions of Times customers have offered their opinions about Lobdell’s loss of faith. It is interesting to note that, at least in the |

| Overplaying religion in Turkey’s elections |

| Tags: Politics, Journalism, Religion, World, Islam |
| Reporters have not surprisingly played up the religious aspect of Turkey’s elections this past weekend. While religion has no doubt played a significant part in bringing the country to early elections and will be a big factor in voters’ decision-making, there are other aspects of the story that reporters risk missing if religion is all |

| The ‘usual’ death-penalty ghosts |

| Have you been following the case of convicted cop-killer Troy Davis on death row in Georgia? The Georgia clemency board recently granted him a stay of execution, so the story has moved off page one of the major newspapers and back into the inside pages for a while. Still it is worth following, for several reasons (including what is, for me, a |

| Dungy: a story of consistent faith |
| Published: July 21, 2007, 11:12 am |
| Tags: Journalism, Sports, Evangelicals |
| How do you tell a story that’s essentially been told over and over again? That is the trouble for reporters who are assigned to write about the release of a book by Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy, who is as consistent as anyone when it comes to expressing the important things in his life. You can’t have an interview or even a |

| When I started blogging a few years ago I quickly got to know Steve Gillmor. I love Steve. He consistently says things are dead - Office, TV and links, just to name a few. Sometimes Steve is right, other times he is way off. But he missed a big one. The practice of measuring online influence by links is truly dead. Link authority, as it was |

| The ABC News news magazine show 20/20 messed up big time. In a March episode the show showed a video clip of the Los Angeles-based Crenshaw Christian Center founder The Rev. Frederick K.C. Price stating that he lives in a 25-room mansion, owns a $6 million yacht, a private jet, a helicopter and seven luxury cars. The problem for ABC News is that |

| Tags: Andrew Wakefield, Mmr, Autism, Observer, Journalism |
| The Observer’s recent scare story on autism has at least two good points. They have taken such a beating that it is unlikely that they will publish another PR story for Wakefield for a long time to come. I have discovered a lot of interesting blogs which support rational discourse and look forward to reading them on [...] |

| Last Sunday the Observer published a really shoddy piece of journalism about the increase in autism and the possible connection with MMR. I fired off a letter to the editor and persuaded some colleagues to add their signatures. Unfortunately I sent it to the Readers editor and not the Letters editor. Therefore my letter did not [...] |

| The newest revelations about the circumstances surrounding Pat Tillman’s death are horrifying enough to merit widespread media coverage. But rather than rehashing the details, I think it’s instructive to watch two very different broadcasts, ironically, by two stations with the same parent company: Here’s Jim Miklaszweski on |
