Corporate journalism involves writing articles for a company news site, website, newsletter or publication – often with a positive angle or agenda. Unlike commercial journalism –the kind of journalism that finds its way into newspapers– there’s much less scope to be critical or to dig around, cajoling information out of interviewees.
One of the central [...]

I interviewed Francisco Lacerda, professor of phonetics at Stockholm University last week, for an article that appears today on the university’s English website. Professor Lacerda is one of those people who seems committed to scholarly discussions no matter what.
Professor Lacerda defied the threat of legal action to speak at last Friday’s Phonetics Conference – [...]

No matter how much money you spend on branding your website, making it look good and easy to read, Google is probably your front page.
More often than not it’s where people stumble across you for the first time after typing something in Google and seeing your name in the search engine results.

Whew! It’s been a busy week here at my desk. I’ve been out and about, writing lots of things for Stockholm University on a rag-tag of topics including:
Guest Researchers
Quantum Secret Sharing
a law moot
the Pirate Bay
and winners of a law competition
If I haven’t had the chance to speak to you in person, have a great Valborg [...]

Is 1000 words for an article on the Net too long? I’m not so sure.
Zainab Zakari, whose piece ”This article is 1,689 words long (That’s 689 words too many for the web, some editors say)” in the New York Review of Magazines, doesn’t have a problem with reading longer pieces online. Neither do I, [...]

It’s not all translations from Swedish to English at the moment. I’ve just done an article on Barbara Nozière, a recent Marie Curie Professor, for Stockholm University.
Professsor Nozière and her team have discovered that there is a direct link between life on earth and cloud formation in the atmosphere. I’m not a scientist but [...]

I got a phone call from a Norwegian journalist yesterday. Back in June I blogged a story that was raging in the Norwegian blogosphere about a freelance journalist who had relied rather heavily on the contents of an article in the British press.
The journalists name had been mentioned in the Norwegian blogosphere and in [...]

I recently wrote a stack of pieces for Stockholm University’s new international website. Seeing that they announced that the site is now available in Beta on the university homepage through their main news outlet, I clicked over to have a look.
Imagine my disappointment to see that that all the articles I wrote have been accredited [...]

Thanks to Norwegian journalist Kristine Lowe who picked up on the BBC’s coverage of changing media habits. I missed the original piece, no doubt because my copy of NetNewsWire hasn’t recovered since I lost all my bookmarked feeds last week!
Yes, web-readers are getting more ruthless in their browsing. I’ve seen that for myself, but [...]

There’s an absolutely fascinating discussion going on in the Norwegian blogosphere. Jan Arild Snoen takes Norwegian broadsheet Aftenposten to task for printing an article by a young Norwegian journalist in its new magazine Innsikt [quite literally, lnsight]. The article borrows large amounts of text from a piece published the UK’s Observer on February [...]
