The Networked Journalism Summit is happening today in NYC. Follow it online.
Another round of quick hits about online journalism or things that might affect the business of online journalism:
  • Networked Journalism Summit. It's happening today in New York City. Lots of participants are liveblogging it. Follow the action via the Technorati tag netj.

  • Jeremy Wagstaff: Google Jaiku: It's About Mobility. On Google's purchase of the microblogging services Jaiku (which is like Twitter, but more features): "I checked out the Jaiku Privacy Policy. What data would/might Google be interested in? Here's what, assuming you're using Jaiku on a phone and a computer..."

  • The Bivings Report: State Department's DipNote Blog. "Surprisingly, this blog actually allows comments. And they don't appear to be censored. After a quick scan of the comments on several posts, I realized that both positive comments and comments critical of the State Department or U.S. government are freely flowing."

  • Behavioral Insider: Crossing the Channel: BT's Next Iteration.MeMedia debuts a "unified interface and contextual/behavioral targeting platform. Lets publishers easily install an ad widget in any digital media type that describes the asset and exposes info on that inventory advertisers need to best engage that consumer."

  • PaidContent.org: CBS Has iTunes Issues But Will Continue. "CBS president Leslie Moonves said during a press conference in Cannes this morning: 'We enjoy our relationship with [iTunes]. We find that it is found money for us. We are getting paid a decent amount of money for everything."

  • CJR: Low-Hanging Fruit. "The problem, I believe, is that while many of the country's major metropolitan newspapers put out a lot of good material in total, few people read these publications collectively, as media critics do."

  • Ethan Zuckerman: Somalia: Possibly more complex than Nigeria. Commenting on this Onion News Network video which mocks mainstream news media ignorance of African issues and history: "The real problem in US media may be that it would simply take a very long time to explain how Somalia reached the state it's in today and why the instability of the Horn of Africa has prompted the U.S. military to, very quietly, open another front."
