Another newsroom blog and Missing colleague

Another newsroom blog:

Bill Lucey is a researcher at the Sun-Sentinel. He had one of the first news research Weblogs a few years ago. He stopped it 2 years ago, but now has a new blog, of news chronologies. The first entry is a factsheet on the Kennedy Assassination.

Missing colleague:

Older SLA-ites remember Joe Wright of the defunct Miami News. He died last Tuesday. Barbara Semonche of the Park Library at UNC posted some old photos.

Fall 2003 Issue of News Library News

Fall 2003 Issue of News Library News

The Fall 2003 issue of News Library News is now available. This issue marks a milestone in the history of the newsletter because it is the first issue to be distributed only electronically. The Special Libraries Association News Division decided a few months ago to cease production of a print edition. While many of you may be very disappointed not to receive a print edition from the News Division anymore, please don’t let that stop you from taking a look at this season’s issue. The .pdf format allows for color images that wouldn’t have made it to the print edition. It looks fantastic! Editor Ron Larson and designer Cheri Dantin worked hard to convert it into a nice .pdf format.

Enough about the format, though. This issue features lots of articles on digitizing microfilm–a topic that keeps popping up on Newslib–as well as coverage of the recent black out that left many of our colleagues in the dark and a profile of the Santa Fe New Mexican’s library and News Library Consultant Rebekah Azen.

Newsroom blogs and news librarianship

Newsroom blogs:

Some news researchers have been getting into blogging, and the results are there for all to see:

Diane Lamb of the News and Record in Greensboro NC, has started The N&R; Newsroom Blog. It has useful links and tips and interesting articles for newsroom staff.

Leigh Montgomery and Christian Science Monitor staff are now publishing to a new version of LibLog. Last month, Liblog was cited by The Guardian’s Weblog as a useful site (look under October 14).

Of course, our intrepid Webmaster, Jessica Baumgart, also has a blog. She’s the librarian for the Harvard news service.

And Liz Donovan of the Miami Herald started WeBlog, a blog on The Herald’s Web site. (to add to her Behind the News blog.)

Advice from the listserve:

I’ve been planning to at least post useful messages from the NewsLib listserve here, and haven’t been. Thanks to Jessica for at least keeping it up a little.

Here are a couple of important messages, though: they came in response to a NewsLib request from a non-news librarian about how she could find out more information about becoming a news librarian:

Hi All and especially newcomers to the list,

Because this is the second request this week for information about our profession, I hope you all will indulge me a moment to respond as the Fearless Leader of the SLA News Division and head cheerleader for news librarianship.

Reading this list is a good first step. We also have a wonderful

website: https://www.ibiblio.org/slanews/ which has a lot of very good information about what we do and who we are.The News Division puts on a very full program every year at the SLA annual conference, as well as periodic regional workshops and programs around the country and the world.

The best advice I can give those of you looking to get into the field is that because it is a tiny profession with a few openings per year, networking is the very best way to get your foot in the door. For those of you non-newsies who are in the library field or are in library school and are interested in what we do, contact your local daily newspaper and ask if they have a library. Most news librarians that I know will be happy to take some time to show off their place and chat about the news

business. I know that I may be putting some of you news librarians on the spot and I really don’t mean to, but I love having guests – they are always amenable to whatever small amount of time I have to spend and I usually learn as much as they do.

Some of the basics that we look for when we are hiring staff are: a daily newspaper reading habit firmly in place; a good background in research and the Internet; a keenly developed sense of humor; and an ability to roll with whatever comes your way.

I look forward to welcoming you all to the News Division. If you can come to Nashville in June, you’ll also find out that we throw a great party!

Cheers,

Linda Henderson

Chair and Czarina, SLA News Division



…and this…

I have been the Librarian at the Dispatch in Columbus Ohio since 1974. At the start I had 3 clerical staff. Now I have 5 professional librarians (MLS) and 1 clerical staff. Over time the number of professional jobs tend to grow in some news libraries (not all but some) We do lots of archiving and data research here as well as own & operate the editorial Intranet. (2 of my folks do web things) I do data analysis, obtain public records, political polling, 2 others do research & archiving (one of whom does geographic information systems (GIS) for us –maps). One librarian was on the project team for the latest reporting project this newspaper did. One of my librarians has a background in TV and I am trying to work him into the TV station we own.

Sounds like we recruited this staff from the New York Times doesn’t it?- NOT!

1 library assistant in a community college (she finished her MLS this year)

1 TV broadcast technician from Fox sports (new MLS)

1 Public librarian from a small branch library near where I live (who was a police reporter )

1 Ohio Chamber of Commerce staffer (former reporter) who wanted to be a news librarian- she is now the Asst. Library Dir)

1 Clerical staff from bank operation (who invented our Intranet).

These people, of whom I very proud, had few technical skills, little or no Nexis skills, most had no news experience,none new much if anything about news libraries.

What sets them apart is a keen interest in the world round them (its shows in an interview), they REALLY like people especially the librarian helping people find stuff part, self discipline, attention to detail, the ability to do any task accurately and completely. Finally a great sense of humor (I

really don’t know the reason for that but it is true).

Make contact with a news librarian near you, no one I know in the business would discourage you. It’s not what you know but what you are capable of (and someone to see it)…and of course Who You Know.

Good luck,

Jim Hunter

Isn’t it interesting how a sense of humor is prominent in both of these? I’d have to agree, it’s essential in this business.

Update: 2003 SLA Annual Conference Material on the Web

Update: 2003 SLA Annual Conference Material on the Web

Since the Newsliblog is mentioned in the latest issue of News Library News, I figured someone had better post something on it.

Today, I finished recoding the last 2003 Special Libraries Association Annual Conference News Division session PowerPoint presentation I received and posted it on the News Division Web site. Carolyn Edds helped me with this work a lot by doing the preliminary HTML conversion of the presentations. (For some reason, my computers don’t do the HTML conversions as well as hers do.) There are a few others lending a hand here and there, too. (I’m still hoping some people will help write summaries of the sessions, especially the sessions I didn’t attend.)

Now, I can take a break from conference stuff to code the latest issue of News Library News, which has a feature story by Liz Donovan about blogging.
