Duplex Planet
From Duplex Planet:
In 1979 I took a job as activities director at a nursing home in Boston. I had just completed a degree in fine arts as a painter. On the day that I first met the residents of the nursing home, I abandoned painting. That is to say, I discarded the brushes and canvas, not the underlying desire to see something in the world around me and then communicate it to others. In this unexpected setting I found my medium. I wanted others to know these people as I did.

Colin Mulvany: From Stills to Video in the Newsroom – The Digital Journalist
As newspaper photo staffs around the country suffer severe cuts, time invested in video production is taking a hit. Many newspapers are “retrenching” as they make their last stand. I still embrace the radical idea that video has a future at newspapers. The few remaining producers at my publication continue to carry the torch by serving up compelling multimedia for our Web site viewers. The grand experiment of video at The Spokesman-Review is not dead – it’s just taking a breather. This economic downturn will end. Video’s influence on the Web and at newspapers is not going away.

New Cambodian Barnes & Noble
The paint is barely dry on the new Siem Reap Barnes & Noble, a gleaming, $6 million, 60,000-square-foot book store/coffeehouse that the American bookselling giant boasts is the finest in this rural village of 2,100.

With a doomsday clock ticking for newspapers as we know them, no one has more at stake than fourth-generation New York Times publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., who is scrambling to keep his family’s prized asset alive. Some see him as a lightweight cheerleader, others as the last, best defender of quality journalism. Talking to company insiders, the author examines the nexus of dynasty and character that has brought the 57-year-old Sulzberger to the precipice.

For the first seven years of her life, Danielle never saw the sun, felt the wind or tasted solid food. She was kept in a closet in a Plant City apartment, cloistered in darkness, left in a dirty diaper, fed only with a bottle. “She was a ferral child,” said Carolyn Eastman of the Tampa heart Gallery. “We’d never seen a case like that.” -
