Making sense of the intersection between media, society and technology
Journalists working on the web would do well to read “30 Usability Issues To Be Aware Of” on Smashing Magazine.
It offers handy tips on issues such as the 3-click-rule: people should be able to find what they are looking for within 3 mouse clicks.
For journalists without a background in web development and design, it also offers a great glossary of usability terms. Now there is no excuse for understanding what your web team mean when they talk about physical consistency and wireframes.
This blog is run by Professor Alfred Hermida, an award-winning online news pioneer, digital media scholar and journalism educator.

Hello dear! I am a journalist like you. but from the country that now all the world assumes it as a terrorist axis… I am here to invite you to read my latest post on a global offer for peace and friendship disregarding to politics and governments!
this is the excerpt of my note:
“If each of 6 billion of the world’s population uses to select a group of 10 friends, then a long link of 60 billion friendship chains will be created and the world converts to the cradle of friendship and peace, instead of war and hostility”
will be happy to hear from you on my blog!
