A taxonomy of blogs
No full text"The word \u27blog\u27 doesn\u27t really give one much of an idea about the content or nature of a given online site. In fact, author and freelance journalist, Margaret Simons, describes the term as \u27manifestly inadequate\u27, because it offers so little differentiation. She says there\u27s now an urgent need for a new vocabulary for internet-based publications. And being no slouch herself, she\u27s taken her own initial stab at drawing up a list of the different types of online sites that classify as blogs. She\u27s come up with nine."

The subtle art of collaboration (Inside Story)
No full textAustralia's twenty-second prime minister, Malcolm Fraser, defeated in 1983 by Bob Hawke after almost eight years in office, has remained a significant public figure. But he has written little about the often-turbulent events of his long political career. Now comes an autobiography written not by Malcolm Fraser alone, but in collaboration with the journalist and writer, Margaret Simons. Together they've produced Malcolm Fraser: The Political Memoirs, written in the third person and bearing all the hallmarks of rigorous research and journalistic method. How did this process actually work? Peter Clarke asked Margaret Simons to reflect on a challenging co-writing experience. Interview originally appeared on the Inside Story web site, 14 April 2010
