Reynolds Center gets new Web managing editor

Robin J. Phillips, a journalist with a rich background in business news and online journalism, has joined the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism as Web managing editor for its site: www.BusinessJournalism.org.

Phillips comes to the center at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication from a job as online community manager for www.azcentral.com, the Web site of The Arizona Republic in Phoenix. She has also served as deputy business editor at The Republic and Newsday, as well as editor for BusinessWeek Online’s small business channel.

She was an adjunct professor of new media at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York and has presented at various journalism organizations on the use of social media as a reporting tool.

“Robin brings the perfect combination of skills for elevating our Web site to the next level,” said Linda Austin, executive director of the Reynolds Center, explaining that the center provides free training in business journalism both online and through regional workshops. “She will expand and enhance our online training offerings, as well as make our site even more timely and interactive.”

Phillips, an early advocate of the journalistic uses of social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, will be using her skills in that area to advance the quality of business journalism, Austin said.

“The past few years have shown us the importance of business journalism and how essential it is for all journalists to understand how to tell business stories,” Phillips said. “I am thrilled at the opportunity to expand the reach of the Reynolds Center and to help journalists tell those stories in whatever form they take: print, broadcast, digital or any combination of the three.”

Phillips, who holds a degree in journalism and political science from the University of Hawaii, joins the center Aug. 10. She can be reached at 602-496-9190 or robin.phillips.1@asu.edu.

The Reynolds Center on ASU’s downtown Phoenix campus is funded by a grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, based in Las Vegas, Nev.

Chrostowski leads KC Star's biz team

Keith Chrostowski was recently named the new business editor for The Kansas City Star. He replaced Chris Lester, who left the paper after leading the biz desk for more than 10 years.
Now Chrostowski, a 34-year veteran of The Star, wants his readers to know that under his leadership he will keep the paper's commitment to business coverage.
In a letter today to readers, he wrote:
But along with that buffet of breaking news online, the printed version of The Star will give you scoops — and scoops of context, perspective and analysis. The business desk will work to quickly spot trends, look for the good as well as the bad turns in the economy, investigate wrongdoing and be sharper about explaining the why behind daily developments. And the great news is that The Star’s business journalists can provide that increasingly sophisticated coverage.

Wired editor on free media

Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief of Wired, talks about his new book and his notion that media companies can succeed in today's marketplace by charging consumers little or nothing, in the December issue of Media magazine.

He compares online tools and software to the media market and says music and video games will become free. He states that nobody wants to read an entire book online...we have to agree with that.
Anderson also comments on the newspaper and magazine model, saying "Most media has always been free to air. They say that if you understand why they sell newspapers in boxes that don't limit the number of copies you can take, you understand the newspaper business. They aren't selling newspapers. They're selling audiences to advertisers. [Magazines] charge a nominal price that is as close to zero as possible to incentivize the largest number of people to subscribe, but not so close to zero that it makes the product look de-valued. But it has no relation to the underlying costs."

Can Murdoch save newspapers?

Diane Mermigas, Editor-at-large at MediaPost, contemplates today about Rupert Murdoch's ability to save newspapers now that he has The Wall Street Journal in his hands. Mermigas says Murdoch's advantage is that he understands and embraces the notion of a global media landscape. He is able to envision possible digital applications of many currently undervalued, and often overlooked, assets.
While many publishers are expected to post a decline in revenues for the year, "News Corp.’s newspaper holdings are growing profits better than 25% annually to more than $650 million on $4.5 billion in revenues (and a 15% margin). It must be doing something right."
