Tracking the newsroom bug-tracking idea

Tracking the newsroom bug-tracking idea 02/01/2005 09:42 PM
I want to return to the idea I floated a few days ago about bug-trackin g software for newsrooms. The comment s response ranged from "neat idea!" to "it'll never work," so let's look it over again.

What I imagined was something similar to the way open-source software development projects manage bug reports. When people file bugs against such a project, they go to a publicly available online resource and enter a form that says "Here's a problem I encountered," and provide details. Different projects follow different organizational structures, but generally speaking, other developers will review the bug and try to classify it: Sometimes they'll say it's a duplicate and point to previous entries in the database that dealt with it; sometimes they'll say it's a simple problem and go fix it right away and close it out; sometimes they'll say it's a big one and leave it open to be dealt with in the future; sometimes they'll say it's a "known bug" that for one reason or another is never going to be fixed; sometimes they'll say it's not a bug at all.

For a newsroom, the idea is to provide a structure and a channel for reader dissatisfaction. You wouldn't have to follow the software model detail for detail, but the general outline could be valuable: Provide a form for readers to enter complaints, one that requires them to present details. Post the complaint publicly as soon as it's entered, and record the publication's response in a reasonably prompt fashion -- anything from "Thanks, we fixed the spelling on that name" to "we chose the phrase 'private accounts' because it is an accurate description of the president's proposal, and the label was in wide use by supporters of the idea until very recently, so we do not plan to stop using the term." The explanation is on record, and if other readers keep filing the same complaint they can simply be pointed back to the original answer. Spam? Just delete it. Letters to the editor that don't have a specific complaint? Re-route them to the letters box.

The most common objection seems to be, forget it -- this will become another free-for-all for political partisans to work out their agendas, another wide-open Internet forum that will degenerate into circular debate. Such forums already exist, to be sure; the point of a bug tracker is to avoid that outcome by choosing a narrower environment for the feedback that allows you to quickly aggregate and dispose of duplicate complaints, and that provides a public record of responsiveness and accountability. If 500 people all holler that you shouldn't say "private accounts," you can answer them once and be done with it -- but you can point each individual complaint back to your explanation, so those people understand that you actually heard them and offered some sort of response. There's a big difference between the silence of no response and "no, we're not doing that, here's why." The latter won't satisfy everyone, but it at least acknowledges that there's been an exchange on the subject.

Ross Karchner proposed a somewhat different model based on wiki practices: "1) A publically viewable changelog, where you can see, in detail, the changes made to an article. 2) A place where the author(s) and editor(s) can discuss the changes needed and made. This is also in public view..." I'm not sure whether Ross means the changelog and the writer/editor dialogue to commence from the first time the writer composed a draft, or only upon publication. The former is, I think, too wide open -- even a blogger has the right to compose a posting and revise it in private before choosing to push the "publish" button. The latter is fine -- but since most reputable publications rarely change articles once they're published, and note the changes as corrections if they do, then it's just codifying an existing practice in slightly different ways.

As for the idea of trying all this out at Salon: Who knows, I might well advocate it, though my current on-leave status doesn't put me in a good spot to work on it. But Salon has been dealing with the back-and-forth of online criticism of our work for 9 years plus. Whatever problems we may suffer from, a failure of responsiveness to online feedback is not, I think, one of them, and we have a pretty sturdy process for reviewing complaints fast and correcting them where needed.

I think this approach would pay off best for a newsroom that is having difficulty convincing readers that the publication is actually listening to them. If you showed the public that you were recording and responding to the issues they raised -- whether you end up publishing a correction or simply saying, "We don't think that needs correcting, and here's why" -- I think you'd start to bank some confidence and trust pretty quickly.

I'm not suggesting that this idea is the single, one-fix-solves-all-problems answer to the ills of journalism today. It's a pragmatic, you-could-do-it-real-soon suggestion for beginning to deal with professional journalism's biggest problem: the public's loss of trust, which begins with the sense that media companies are big institutions that pay no attention to their own mistakes.

Supernova is, as expected, coming together nicely.  Of course, nice is a relative word.  There are always multiple fire drills in the weeks prior to an event, which I've been completely focused on recently.  The good news is that registrations are going great, and we've got some fantastic sessions in store for the event.

If you're in the Bay Area, please consider joining us next week (June 24-25) for what promises to be an extroardinary gathering of innovators, thinkers, implementers, investors, and other thought leaders of the technology world. 

Check out our Community Connection for the conference weblog, wiki, and other interactive tools.  Supernova always generates a virtual event in parallel with the physical conference; this year, we've kicked the cyber-component up a notch. 

And don't forget to sign up for Joi's Pre-Conference Dinner on Wednesday June 23.  It's open to anyone who RSVPs,whether you're attending Supernova or not.

Bush's talk on moonbase and manned mission to Mars is just what a dopehead might say dreamily while blowing smokes.  The total bill is likely to reach 1 trillion dollars.  Where is the money?  There is no money and, even if there was, NASA is not going to see much of it.  Instead, NASA will be asked to sacrifice its other programs to chase this pair of smoke rings.  Meanwhile, our children will be forced to cast aside the growing burden of social security, leaving us old and poor.  Bush opened this can of hoopla because he is afraid of ending up like his father in the upcoming election.  Wake up I say.

Comment : When will Microsoft wake up to
the IE problem? 09/16/2004 01:02 PM
Morale cannot be good in the Internet Explorer team at the moment. This week, Microsoft announced they had another major problem with the browser. IE’s handling of JPEGs has serious issues that could give users a serious headache. Equally, many websites have followed a story on how Firefox market share could be as high as 20%. Executives at the top must be feeling the heat. SP2, users were told, would fix all the security issues, the vulnerabilities, everything, with IE. One would hope that people didn't believe Microsoft, too much. Some of the blogs have gone rather eerily silent.

Microsoft has a serious problem on their hands. Winning the lawsuit and the browser war in the 90s, the company (mistakenly) thought they could sit happy with Internet Explorer. Like their desktop OS market, there were few realistic competitors and in the past 5 years, none have made significant gains on Microsoft's user base. The only area where dramatic user loss from Microsoft is visible in the browser market. Even Microsoft’s own staff blog for Firefox! What signals can that be sending to Internet Explorer users?

Internet Explorer suffers from a variety of problems, the most key of them being that it's being made by Microsoft. The product needs a re-work, needs new features, needs security. SP2, yes, introduced some of this, and a touch more protection for users, but it hasn't closed the door on IE's problems - far from it.
