currybetdotnet categories and themes

This is Martin Belam's currybetdotnet blog, where I chiefly write about information architecture, journalism, and digital media.

Information Architecture: You can read about IA and UX events I've attended, presentations I've given, and about IA topics like site search management and design and newspaper website design.

Journalism: You can read my opinions on the future of news and journalism in a digital era, on media policy and regulation in the sector, and on the emergence of local and hyperlocal news services.

Digital media: You can find blog posts about new media best practice, and notes from media and web events. Explore the 'old' media relationship with 'new' media, and read about my work at The Guardian and at the BBC.

Every post and article on currybetdotnet is published in an individual 'category'. The following are links to all of the category index pages on currybetdotnet, where you can find an archive of my posts on each topic.
