Mercury News | 02/12/2003 | Dan Gillmor: `Nano publishing' pushing the boundaries of journalism
GAWKER, GIZMODO: NEW YORK -- Welcome to the world of ``nano publishing'' -- an emerging brand of Internet-based journalism that is helping shape the future of news.
Gawker (wwwawker.com) is a weblog devoted to news and gossip about New York City and its gossip-heavy industries. Gizmodo (www.gizmodo.com), also a weblog, covers electronic gadgets. They're both fun to read, and highly informative.
The sites are largely the creation of Nick Denton, a former print journalist who has done several noteworthy online efforts. The most recent, before moving into weblogs, was a wonderful site called Moreover (www.moreover.com), which gathers news and headlines from across the Web.
Denton doest want to make too big a deal of it, but I think he's onto something important. He's pushing the boundaries of niche journalism in logical ways, making the most of the Net's ease -- and low cost -- of publishing, as well as the advantages that seem to accrue to pioneers.

Spectrum Policy: Property or Commons?
Spectrum policy is undergoing a fundamental reorientation in the United States and elsewhere. An emerging consensus holds that the traditional system of governmentally-allocated spectrum rights inhibits innovation and competition. The central question now facing policy makers is what form of spectrum management should replace the existing system.

Analog group draft charter; EFF starts new blog
A draft charter for the "Analog Reconversion Discussion Group" (ARDG) has been circulated, and EFF has today opened a new blog, Cruelty to Analog, addressing attempts to control digitization technology.
The ARDG is meant to address the so-called "Analog Hole", although the use of that term by the entertainment industries seems to have been nearly abandoned now.

アナログをどこに残すか、どう残すか、みたいな話と思う。
