Jargon
: Happened by the TV today when FoxNews was getting ready for Tommy Thompson’s press conference on the ephedra ban. The screen said: “FoxNews Alert: Waiting for newser on ephedra ban…”

Newser.

I’m not sure whether that was an intentional use of news jargon; the line changed a minute later to “news conference.”

But I think we’ll see more sharing of new biz jargon; it’s a way to make everyone feel like insiders.
