A #BreakingNews ticker for every TV channel
via breakingblog:
We’re all familiar with TV news tickers, scrolling along the bottom of news channels. But what if a ticker only appeared for a few moments when a story breaks? And what if it worked across all live TV channels? Here at BreakingNews, we’ve created a connected TV app that does just that.

Words Journalists Use That People Never Say
Among my favorite cliches that people never use in natural conversation:
Critics contend
Strib: “Critics contend that young, developing businesses and smaller websites could be saddled with expensive litigation costs.”Journo Dad: “Critics contend that you kids don’t hop into the tub when you’re supposed to.”

On the heels of David Pogue hitting his wife with an iPhone
via joshsternberg:
Dan Lyons reports:
Pogue has been dating Nicki Dugan, a vice president at OutCast Agency, a San Francisco PR firm that represents top tech companies such as Amazon, Facebook, Cisco, Netflix, and Yahoo, since last year. (On April 24, things between them had grown serious enough that Dugan announced their relationship on her Facebook page.)
During the time they’ve been involved, Pogue has written articles about OutCast clients and their competitors without disclosing his personal connection to a senior staffer at the firm.
Writing about a friend’s/family member’s company seems par for the course w/tech writers at major publications.
