At the moment most reporters do not think blogs help the
quality of their work but they do speed up the availability of news, according to a survey by Brodeur reported in
Research Briefs. But maybe beatblogging
can supply that quality.
Beatblogging.org is a collaboration between 13 news organizations from around the country and
www.NewAssignment.Net to figure out how journalists can
use social networks to improve beat reporting.
As described by NYU journalism professor
Jay Rosen, “Beatblogging is a simple project testing a single idea: Maybe
a beat reporter could do a way better job if there was a “live” social network connected to the beat, made up of people who know the territory the beat covers, and want the reporting on that beat to be better. That’s the entire idea—so far. Beat reporting with a social network: can we get it to work?"
And then there is Shawn Smith who thinks blogs
are one of the
“4 must-use web tools every journalist should learn and live by”.
This is also the title of a
www.Mediabytes.com summary of a talk given by
Shawn at a Michigan State University journalism class on computer-assisted reporting.
And the other must-haves are:
Twitter, Del.icio.us, and Google Reader. A brief explanation of each and why
is available at:
http://www.newmediabytes.com/2008/01/09/4-web-tools-journalists-should-use/.
Custom Publishing (Jeep, MyFord, etc.) is marching across the magazine scene according to
Advertising Age. Only now it is better labeled “Custom Marketing,” according to
Wendy Riches, Exec. VP at Meredith Publishing Group, one of the forces in the field. She told the trade paper:
"That's because what used to be custom publishing now includes word-of-mouth, the internet, e-mail newsletters, mobile alerts, deeper database crunches and complex behavioral modeling.” Revenue in the field jumped to $37
billion in 2006, up $15 billion from 2004.
According to the Newspaper Association of America (NAA), the
average monthly unique audience figures for newspaper websites
grew by more than 3.6 million in 2007, a record year for the industry and an increase of more than 6% over 2006 numbers.

(Online Column). Your reward, a byline and an audience of
your peers .
We’ll acknowledge all contributions, queue them and use the
one considered the most pertinent at the time.
Newspaperman, PR executive and consultant
Tom Houston offers his opinion on the departure of
Jason Vines and subsequent downgrading of PR at Chrysler
Ltd. As with all volunteer Tom-Tom rants, raves or rambles,
the opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Jason has landed. Again. This time Jason Vines, the most peripatetic of Detroit’s
automotive public relations executives has docked at
Compuware, the Detroit –based software builder. So it’s out of the auto business and into software for Vines
whose PR career began at Chrysler Corp. and wound through
Nissan, Ford, Daimler Chrysler, Chrysler Ltd. (no fault of
Jason’s) and thence to Compuware.
It seems that Vines walked out of Chrysler’s HQ in Auburn
Hills, Michigan, after a disagreement with Bob Nardelli, the
former Home Depot chief who now heads Chrysler Ltd.
The guess is that Vines and Nardelli didn’t agree on how
public Chrysler Ltd. should be. Chrysler Ltd. is a privately
held company and doesn’t have to do all that noisome public
reporting a publicly held company does. Another good guess
is that Vines left a pretty fair chunk of change on the
Chrysler table when he walked out. It would appear that Nardelli
doesn’t think much of PR anyway because, no sooner had Vines
left, than Nardelli
turned the leadership of PR over to the company’s Human
Relations geniuses.
How dispiriting that must be to the PR pros Vines developed
during his tenure at Chrysler and upon whom Vines heaped
praise when he was elected 2005’s “Communicator of the Year”
by the Detroit Chapter of the International Association of
Business Communicators. I don’t know how many reporters covered the home improvement
store industry on a
day-to-day basis, but in Detroit there are about 100
reporters covering every breath
ranking auto execs take and every decision car companies
make. My suspicion is that Nardelli doesn’t like talking to the
meddlesome media and even though he’s hired press-savvy
Jim
Press from Toyota, as Vice Chairman and President to run
Chrysler product development and sales, those 100 reporters
still want to talk to the boss man.
Press reports over the past week – quoting Chrysler
executives other than Nardelli—have Chrysler drastically
simplifying its model line and reducing the number of
dealers. Seems an ideal time for a seasoned PR executive to be
getting Chrysler’s vision out to the car-buying public.

After two laps in an outdoor pool followed by a six mile run over a frosty
western Colorado moonscape, tight roping across a gulley on a narrow beam and
hauling herself up a dangling 18-foot rope, Sue Mead smiled and asked “What’s
next?”
Already an established chronicler of off-road vehicles and adventures, it
was her grit and grin in the try outs that earned her a spot as the first female
journalist on America’s team for a two-week Land Rover competition in the
jungles of Borneo. Since then she has participated in three more of those
competitions as well as the Arctic Circle Challenge ‘95, the Tip to Tip
Challenge ‘96, and the TransAmerica Challenge ’97, and was a co-driver in two
winning Baja 1000 rides and in the Paris-Dakar-Cairo 2000. She was at the
starting line of this year’s Paris Dakar Rally when it was cancelled due to
terrorism threats and, as noted in her recent Off-Road Motorsports Hall Of Fame
induction, she has accumulated enough off-road miles in 62 different countries
to circumnavigate the globe in dirt.
Her work has appeared in dozens of publications and she has authored three books
and raised one daughter, Brooke. Sue got her start in journalism as a part-time writer/photographer for New
England newspapers and as a stringer for the Associated Press. She added
freelancing for off-road magazines, specializing in four-wheel drive – a niche
that few females had explored at the time and found it or made it, “the answer
to my prayers to use writing and photography skills as a means to travel the
globe and to have an ever-changing “view from my desk.” In return for her chance to see the globe she works to bring
hope and health to parts of it in great need. She corralled a library’s worth of
books and persuaded BMW to help fund construction of one to house them in Tixfusene, South Africa. Following
Hurricane Katrina, she joined a Hummer’s Owner’s Group Prepared for Emergency
(HOPE) and made six trips to Louisiana and Mississippi to bring medical aid and
supplies to survivors in remote areas. After being thwarted by terrorists in
the Paris-Dakar Rally, she has resolved to do more,
telling her local paper, The Berkshire Eagle, “My hope for the future is that
we can rid our world of radical terrorists and increase the number of radical
peacemakers.” TOC

Research Briefs reports that 85%of the world’s online population has used the Internet to make an
online purchase, increasing the market for online shopping by 40% in the last two years, according to a
Nielsen Online Global Survey.
Yet, while the online market is growing and consumers are spending 30% of their media time online, marketers are investing but 7.5% of their budgets in online marketing initiatives according to
Media Post. Conclusion: money is
going to flow by the bucket full to the Internet and this means opportunity for auto writers to build an audience. However, manufacturer web sites are not the preferred online information source for car buyers.
According to www.Estrategy.com blog, a
BurstMedia survey revealed: “Consumers who are in the market for a car go online for information—but not to automobile Web sites.
That preference also carries over into advertising: Online
advertising for cars works best on Web sites that have
nothing to do with automobiles."
On the other hand, Wooden Horse News reports a new trend in magazines that one promoter believes will bring advertisers back to magazines and, thus, create pages for writers to fill:
barcoding. Car and Driver published more than 400 links in its late December annual
Buyer’s Guide, according to Wooden Horse. Each car in the guide had a corresponding barcode linking to a microsite
with pictures, reviews and a link to the full road test.
Users download software from Scanbuy to access the material. As reported by Wooden Horse, Scanbuy
CEO Jonathan Bulkeley believes, “barcodes could be ubiquitous within the next three to five years . . . and bring readers back to print.” . . . However,
Source Interlink, which recently purchased Primedia’s dominant array of car magazines is planning to take 40 million magazine copies out of circulation, as reported in
foliomagazine, although this may be an internal correction of what amounts to
Chrysler’s old “sales bank” practice of producing more than the demand.

To clear up possible misunderstandings about Isuzu’s future
in the U.S., Chip Letzgus writes, “Isuzu Motors America is
not going out of business. The company made the decision to
discontinue the distribution and sale of passenger vehicles
in the U.S. effective January 31, 2009, but that will have
no impact on our parts, service or warranty operations. Isuzu will continue to have a network of dealers nationwide
to service our Isuzu owners. Of course, this decision also
does not affect Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, a
separate company that will continue to distribute the most
popular low-cab-forward medium duty trucks in the nation. And Isuzu Motors America will continue to distribute
industrial diesel engines. There will continue to be public
relations staff -- namely, me . . .” .

Jim Travers’ new soft cover car book is part of the

of publications
on various topics and therefore is titled Extreme Cars. But
it is not so much about automobile oddities and rarities as
it is snapshots of a century of car culture with attention
to “the men and women behind the cars – and behind the
wheel.” “Often,” Travis notes, “the characters associated
with these cars are every bit as much of the story as the
vehicles themselves.” Eclectic rather than encyclopedic,
Extreme Cars ranges wide with a good-humored appreciation of autodom’s feats, fables and foibles – and much like the

Andy Schupack challenges the claim in last month’s
newsletter that Lola is, “the world leader in race car
victories and championships.” He says, “they (Lola) have
nowhere near the number of motorsports victories that
Porsche has (and Lola doesn’t even make an engine, so they
cannot call themselves a race car manufacturer). Porsche is
the only car company that manufacturers race cars right on
the product assembly line for general sale to the public. Also, Porsches have won – by our latest calculations –
almost 29,000 races – 23,000 of those by 911-based cars.” (AWCom’s source for the Lola claim did not respond when sent
Schupak’s disputation.)
Greg Rager, editor of Mopar Enthusiast Magazine, takes
exception to a statement by Bernard Simon in The Financial
Times quoted in last month’s newsletter that, "it is
impossible to review a car without driving it.” “Obviously," Rager writes, “Mr. Simon has never heard of the late
Roger
Huntington. Roger was one of the premier automotive writers
of the Sixties and Seventies. He was very highly regarded by
all the manufacturers (as well as his peers and his readers)
for his accuracy and unbiased objectivity when it came to
writing road tests of their new product. He was able to
describe the seat-of-the-pants feel of muscle cars of the
era like no other before or after him. But what few people
ever knew then - or know now - is the fact that Roger was
confined to a wheelchair and never drove any of the cars he
so accurately reviewed. It was all done from the passenger
seat - but was as detailed and spot on (often more so) as
any writer who had actually driven the cars. We lost Roger
in 1989, at age 63 - and his absence has left a void.”
CORRECTIONS: From last month’s Newsletter, it is
Julie Hamp
(with an “a”), Micki (with a “c”)
Maynard and Cary (without
an “e”) for the North Carolina town located between Durham

locals say

vehicle awards list |
With
the addition of the Consumer Report Top Picks and the
Collector Car of The Year Award, AWCom has compiled 91
annual vehicle awards to be won.
They
are not weighted, each being treated as equal in the eventual
summary when all have been announced. Most likely there will be
more when various class, segment or other distinctions are made.
And, by the time all of the 2008 awards are recorded, the 2009s
will be a short breath away.
If
you know of an award not listed here please let us know. For
those who ask, The Collector Car of The Year is voted on
annually by members of the Friends of the National Automotive
History Collection (NAHC) which supports the world-famous
automotive collection at the Detroit Public Library. They
predict the "Collectible Vehicle of the Future" from the
year's new American-built cars and trucks.
