This one's got a lovely clip toards the end about an American cartooning colleague of mine, Kevin Kallaugher or Kal.

In traditional fashion, after hard service for the Baltimore Sun, Kevin's job became surplus to editorial requirements. He responded in the best (fingers up) fashion, by going off and doing something altogether more interesting. Watch the video Ian has put together to find out what.

The unmissable journalist pioneer Mr Reeves has No4 online.

This one is showing distinct signs of boosted production values - although the slick graphic sign off lacks the traditional face-to-face bon mots of numbers 1 to 3. Please bring them back Ian!

Fascinating for anyone interested in where the news is going.

When you get taught how to report as a journalist - or tell stories clearly, one of the things you learn is that you should try and tell the tale as you would when in the pub. That is, clearly, and to the point, otherwise everyone gets bored, don't they?

It's the way he tells it.

Kudos to a professional colleague - Ian Reeves - a man blogging about the future of journalism (hackery).

As he says;
> my conversion from inky-fingered print journalist to multimedia contender is requiring me to make a steep dive into a deep pool of technical gloop. Come on in, the water's lovely.

I strongly recommend a dip.
