Link bucket: Catching up

Links in search of steady work:

• Vin Crosbie resumed blogging at Digital Deliverance with a vengeance. And yes, I just used "deliverance" and "vengeance" in the same sentence. Anyhoo, Vin started a series on the decline and transformation of newspapers. Part 1 is general problem exposition. Part 2 describes how newspaper companies violated the principles of supply and demand. I may have more to say about Vin's posts, but want to wait for the series conclusion before I form my own conclusions. For now, just know it's worthy reading. Amy Gahran reacts over on E-Media Tidbits, part of the (oh-by-the-way) redesigned and improved poynter.org.
• Meanwhile, over at Valleywag, we have five ways newspapers botched the Web. More problem exposition. At least Vin promises some answers.
• Steve Yelvington describes the building of a next-generation news site management system. Sounds like some good thinking going into this -- more than just a fresh coat of paint on the ol' newspaper.com model.
