In April of 2013, after Medium acquired the company, Matter wrote to its readers, “If you already know what we do, don’t expect big changes yet.” That “yet” now seems like an important qualifier: “What will change in the short term? Nothing,” Giles told Poynter’s Andrew Beaujon. “We don’t want to change the business model yet.”

Feb 28, 2014: Chicago Tribune reporter Gregory Trotter was supposed to cover Billy Corgan’s “ambient/musical interpretation of Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha,” a performance taking place Friday at a teahouse the Smashing Pumpkins frontman owns, a show he estimated on Facebook would last “8-9 hours.” Trotter said on Twitter Corgan’s publicist told him he couldn’t attend because Corgan was upset about a column by another Tribune writer that mocked the concept of an eight-to-nine-hour-long concert based on “Siddhartha.” The column that got Trotter that view from the sidewalk? Rex Huppke’s Feb. 27 piece, in which he wrote, “Corgan has always struck me as more than a little pompous, and his tea-infused ‘Siddhartha’-palooza reinforces that impression.” (You can stream the performance from the teahouse’s homepage.)

ON THE RECORD: Jan 28, 2014: Andrew Beaujon (Poynter) reveals how "How PolitiFact gets ready for ‘the Super Bowl for fact-checkers’" In a video, former Politifact's Bill Adair says the state of the he president’s Union address is “the Super Bowl for fact-checkers.” Politifact "gets a copy of the speech a few minutes before the U.S. House of Representatives Sergeant at Arms shouts “Mr. Speaker.” Via instant message, PolitiFact editors assign reporters to specific sections of the speech. The editors then gather in PolitiFact’s “Star Chamber” and hand out Truth-o-Meter ratings, Adair says".

ON THE RECORD: Jan 21, 2014: Jonathan Cohn has announced in his New Republic article that "Policy Journalism Is Having Its Moment." The article is primarily dedicated to the the decision by Ezra Klein to quit the Washington Post in order to start a new journalism project. Melissa Bell and Dylan Matthews will also be leaving WaPo with him. Cohn sees something bigger in this move and summarizes that "the unsettling part of Klein’s departure is the shift in power, away from large media organizations, it would seem to reinforce. All but the largest newspapers are dying and we don’t know, yet, exactly what will take their places. But, overall, journalism is richer and more informative because people like Josh Marshall, Nate Silver, and now Ezra Klein are reinventing it." Andrew Beaujon (Poynter) listed several people who have left the established media and are looking at new ventures ("Washington Post announces Ezra Klein is leaving"): "Nate Silver decided last year to leave The New York Times for ESPN, which plans to relaunch his FiveThirtyEight.com under its auspices soon. Glenn Greenwald left the Guardian last year to join a “a new mass media organization” funded by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar. Dan Froomkin and Jay Rosen also joined the new organization in varying capacities. Gawker’s Neetzan Zimmerman will be the editor-in-chief of a starting shareup called Whisper. Gabriel Snyder, formerly the editor-in-chief of The Wire, will be chief content officer of a mobile news startup called Inside.com. Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg’s site AllThingsD announced last year they would part ways with Dow Jones & Co. and relaunched as Re/Code this year. The Wall Street Journal launched a replacement site, WSJD. Both promised live events. Another spinoff from the Journal: The Information, a subscription tech-news site edited by former WSJ reporter Jessica Lessin. Proto-blogger Andrew Sullivan left The Daily Beast in early 2013 to relaunch his Daily Dish as an independent, subscription-based publication. Sullivan wrote on Dec. 31. that in its first year, the publication had raised more than $800,000 in subscription revenue and has “almost 34,000 subscribers.” One thing that is clear through all this is that the internet is not done changing the face of journalism.
November 7, 2012: Richmond Magazine: News Hound
I love stories that start with "I knew him when." And this is a good one. Richmonders may remember Andrew Beaujon from the award-winning "Save Richmond" blog he founded in 2003 with wife Ewa Beaujon and local writer and editor Don Harrison.
The blog stopped operations in 2009, and Beaujon, who moved to Alexandria a few years ago, went on to work as managing editor for the Washington City Paper, an alternative weekly, and as arts editor of TBD.com, a merger of two D.C. television newsdesks and their respective websites.
In Beaujon's new job as the Poynter Foundation's media reporter at MediaWire ( poynter.org/mediawire ), he keeps tabs on enterprising bloggers, papers, magazines and TV networks, as well as the companies that own them.
