AllThingsD

The price of fairness and accuracy is silence on the moral issues.

Remember this when you pitch editors on thought leadership. At least on this subject, opportunity lies in community.

What we're seeing...

Get ready for a new series of B2B tech channels from Slashdot. The first one,SlashBI, launched this week under the direction of former TechWeb and Ziff Davis Enterprise VP Stephen Wellman. A second tech channel (cloud?) will launch in a few weeks, Wellman says.

AllThingsD this week launched “All Things Reviewed,” an expanded reviews section. It’s edited by Katie Boehret and features the work of Lauren Goode, whose career is as hot as can be.

Life is good at All Things D. This week's financially successful Dive into Mobile event in San Francisco caps a wild three months in which co-executive editors Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg hired five journalists and began work on a stronger Facebook presence as well as a web site redesign, due soon.

We learned a lot this week from the Gizmodo/iPhone affair -- mostly that the blogs kicked MSM's ass.

Looking for edit leadership? Look to the independents.

It's easy to follow an influencer on Twitter. But don't stop there. Who provides the biggest audience when others reply to that influencer or re-Tweet their material? Even better is to know who a given influencer replies to. That could lead you to entirely new influencers.
