How often do you start a search by looking on Google? Yeah, I do that more
often than I'd like to admit, too. But even if you think of yourself as a
Google sophisticate, chances are there are a lot of advanced and
specialized search techniques you aren't taking advantage of – in part
because Google is always developing new and useful ways to search. One
caveat – keep in mind that, for political and other reasons, Google
sometimes engages in search-result censorship (here's a recent example),
so you should never assume that not finding something on Google means it
isn't out there on the Internet somewhere. Hereand here are explanations
of how the censorship works.
That said, Google still offers a useful starting point. There are easy
ways to find new Google-related tools, but first let's review a few
existing tools that are particularly helpful for reporters. One such, I
think, is a link-navigation query. In Google's search box, if you type
link: before the URL for a website, Google will list all the other sites
that link to that website. Just use the domain name (that's whatever is
between the http:// and the first "/" at the end of the URL). For example,
if you type in link: www.J-source.ca you'll find the 661 websites that
have linked to this site. What's the point? Sometimes it can be helpful to
see who's linking to a site when you're looking for a particular source,
or trying to get more information about a website, a company, or what have
you.
There are lots of other useful search terms (what Google calls search
operators) that you can type directly into the search box, instead of
having to go to the "advanced search" page. To offer a few examples...

Padlocked Radio Ramaroshan resumed transmission
After strong objection of ACORAB, local intellectuals and local community,
Radio Ramaroshan resumed transmission from morning of 10 December 2008 after
two days of padlock.
In spite of regular threatening to the station for broadcasting series of
investigative report on corruption, black marketing and illegal trading of
liquor, the station continued to do so. A group of people padlocked the
station at the presence of Police Inspector on 8 December 2008. Though the
people apologised and let the station to resume unconditional at the
presence of Chief District Officer, it is very serious to know that local
police provided back support to padlock the station.
Along with issuing a strong press release condemning such coward act, ACORAB
did talk to Chief District Officer, District Police Officer, local party
leaders and Constituent Assembly members to draw their serious attention on
taking stern action against the culprits and provide support to the station.
Being umbrella organisation of community radios of Nepal, ACORAB will not
compromise on protecting right to information and freedom of expression and
will strongly defend to protect member community radios of Nepal. ACORAB
appreciates all for providing support to the station.

3. Jurnalisme Sastrawi
Posted by: "Siti Nurrofiqoh" fiqohpantau@yahoo.co.id fiqohpantau

Kursus Jurnalisme Sastrawi XVI
Jakarta, 7-16 Januari 2009
Hari ini
hampir tak ada warga yang mendapatkan breaking news dari suratkabar.
Mereka mendapatkannya dari televisi, radio, SMS, telepon atau internet.
Tantangan baru muncul: bagaimana cara menulis panjang? Bukankah
relevansi suratkabar makin terletak pada kemampuannya menyajikan
analisis?
Tawaran ini di New York dijawab Tom Wolfe pada 1973. Wolfe mengenalkan sebuah genre baru saat itu: New Journalism.
Ia mengawinkan disiplin keras dalam jurnalisme dengan daya pikat
sastra. Ibarat novel tapi faktual. Genre ini mensyaratkan liputan
dalam, namun memikat. Genre ini kemudian dikenal dengan nama narative
reporting atau literary journalism. Menurut Nieman Reports, sejak
1980an, suratkabar-suratkabar di Amerika banyak memakai elemennya
ketika kecepatan televisi memaksa tampil dengan laporan mendalam.
Di
Jakarta, genre ini diperkenalkan lewat sebuah kursus pada Juli 2001.
Mula-mula hanya dua kali namun permintaan tetap datang.
Angkatan-angkatan baru pun dibuat setiap satu semester. Peserta datang
dari berbagai kota, dari Banda Aceh hingga Jayapura, dari Pontianak
hingga Kuching, dari Ende hingga Kupang. Alumninya, kini mulai
bermunculan. Ada yang menulis buku. Ada yang jadi pemimpin redaksi. Ada
yang sekolah lanjut.
Kursus ini dibuat dua minggu. Peserta
adalah orang yang biasa menulis untuk media. Setidaknya berpengalaman
sekitar lima tahun. Peserta maksimal 16 orang agar pengampu punya
perhatian memadai buat semua peserta. Calon peserta diharapkan mengirim
biodata dan contoh tulisan agar pengampu mengetahui kemampuan dasar
peserta lebih awal. Biaya pendaftaran Rp 3 juta. Biaya tersebut sudah
termasuk buku dan materi kursus non buku sekitar 200 halaman serta
coffe break dan makan siang.
