The Best of What's Around: Digital and Analog Edition

The last couple of weeks have been just ridiculously full of posts about how media and technology affect our lives, and particularly how new media and old media mesh. Paper, notebooks, computers, pens, and thumb drives – how do they work together? Do they even work together? What’s a pen anyway?

The newspaper is still in crisis, and more and more people are turning to the Web for significant portions of their work and personal life. But there’s something to be said for the dying breeds.

Here are some of the most interesting takes I’ve read on how the digital and analog worlds collide, and why old and new media have much to learn from each other.

TechCrunch – "The Morality and Effectiveness of Process Journalism"

Dumb Little Man – "The Power of Paper For Everyday Life"

Mashable – "Everything I Need to Know About Twitter I Learned in J School"

The Art of Manliness – "30 Days to a Better Man-Day 8: Start a Journal"

Unclutterer – "Understanding How You Process Information to Help You Get Organized, Part I"

LifeDev – "8 Ways Reading Makes You Better at Life"

Copyblogger – "Five Lessons From Newspapers to Boost Your Blog’s Circulation"

And now, the grand finale: "Daily Show Rips the New York Times"
