This week’s recommended reading from the folks at Blogenberg…

• Earlier this week, NPR ran an interesting segment on the difficult decision facing Iraqi reporters working for American news organizations - stay at home and risk death or emigrate to the U.S. as a refugee and start all over again.
• Encyclopedia Brittanica goes wiki; allows users to edit entries.
• We couldn’t resist linking to one of the greatest sports commercials ever - Nike’s latest Tiger Woods ad.
• Is green noise actually making it tougher to protect the environment?
• By limiting acceptance speeches to 5 words, the Webby Awards offers a lesson in how limits can strengthen branding.
• In “a clash between traditional business models and the emerging conventions of the Web,” the Associated Press today will meet with the Media Bloggers Association to discuss complaints filed by the AP that bloggers who quote as little as four words of AP-produced material are infringing on the AP’s trademark rights. Read more: New York Times, TechCrunch, Social Media Today.
• A commentary on “experts” who don’t use the technology themselves.
• Two Tim Russert tributes you may not have seen this week (and, for us, the most interesting we’ve seen): The New York Times’ Adam Nagourney reflected on his time with Tim Russert the political operative and Matt Lauer interviewed Tim’s son, Luke, on the Today Show.
