		<description><![CDATA[Co-operatives and the internet were made for each other. 

There are editors and journalists who’d leap at the chance co-ops can give them to make up rules and policies for their operation collaboratively. These would mainly be the craft-focused ones -- like artists and writers everywhere, hoping that this net revolution really will get rid of hierarchies and gatekeepers. You saw the Tom Friedman column celebrating some of that on the New York Times site yesterday, yes?… But then of course, many journos live not so much for the craft as for the clubbiness in the profession and sort of think of themselves as football teams – the women just as much as the men. ...

		<description><![CDATA[Undercurrents at last week’s hearings suggested that _perhaps_ David Cameron’s government – even though it commissioned this Inquiry – had been warning the judiciary, off-stage, about excessive zealousness.

The presiding judge’s unfailing good humour had up to then been as striking as his scrupulously fair treatment of all witnesses. But a newspaper quoted him as having said, last Thursday, with unprecedented irritability, that he was impatient to reach the end of the hearings and get back to ‘productive judicial work’. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=post-gutenberg.com&#038;blog=26466849&#038;post=2311&#038;subd=postgutenberg&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sir: this blog is not in the habit of addressing spectres, ... but whatever did you mean by this? 
'Newspaper campaigns clearly influence policy-making. […]  But arguably their greatest day-to-day influence is indirect. […] Britain is an outlier [...] In lots of European countries politics encompasses angry extremes, with the hard-right and far-left attracting hefty votes. By contrast, newspapers in such countries are often small-circulation, centrist, and prim. Britain does things the other way round. Partly because of first-past-the-post voting, the big parties cluster at the political centre. The brass-band blare of dissent comes from a fiercely partisan press.'<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=post-gutenberg.com&#038;blog=26466849&#038;post=2210&#038;subd=postgutenberg&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[... Actually, it was one dogged and intuitive reporter – Nick Davies, working as an _outside_ contributor to a broadsheet newspaper, who was able to capitalise on the ‘accident’ that exposed the extent of phone hacking by Murdoch’s minions.

Why did staff journalists anywhere fail to publish that ugliness hidden in plain sight, or break the political horror story of 2009, the MPs’ expenses scandal – the revelations about members of parliament misusing allowances and expense accounts to pay for pornography and cleaning their castle moats, among other fraudulent acts?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=post-gutenberg.com&#038;blog=26466849&#038;post=2159&#038;subd=postgutenberg&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[ the date is what matters most, here: ]… 'Publishing is moving towards a crisis. One should expect to see a number of respected publishing houses quietly exit the scene.  […]  Authors’ incomes are low for an embarrassingly simple reason: publishers do not sell enough copies of their books. […] For every copy of a hardcover book sold at its normal retail price, one book is sold as a remainder – a book that goes from the publisher to the remainder dealer for less than the cost of producing it and with zero income to the author. No other industry can make this claim.'

		<description><![CDATA[... If paying attention, the nay-sayers might avoid the unfortunate misperception of cooperatives as cuddly, slow-moving, necessarily lovable ‘kumbaya’ institutions – as in a newspaper columnist’s suggestion last week that members of worker-owned coops might specialise in listening to each other as patiently and empathetically as people at meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Empathetic listening could be a good guiding principle for some cooperatives, like the one the newspaper columnist has in mind. Other coops will want a different arrangement of acorns. It will all depend on the rules they make for running them.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=post-gutenberg.com&#038;blog=26466849&#038;post=1893&#038;subd=postgutenberg&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
