Take their latest political output: not a single word about HubDub’s prices / probabilities. So, what the HubDub blog does is simply political journalism, with a link to the related HubDub prediction market.
Examples of prediction market journalism:
- Justin Wolfers at Freakonomics & Wall Street Journal —spot that he cites InTrade’s prices as probabilities.
- the InTrade bulletin —spot that they publish some good, readable compound charts.
- my previous Obama+Clinton post —spot that I’m the only one in the Blogosphere to do a multi-exchange reporting.
The 3 examples above are not the richest forms of prediction market journalism, but it’s a good step in the right direction. (Small step for for a man; big step for humanity. 
)
I am disappointed that Nigel Eccles (who is a guy who has computed many things right, other than that) let his bloggers without a clear handbook.

The reason we haven’t moved to quoting market prices is nearly all of our blog posts related to new markets that have no price history (either on Hubdub or any other market). Therefore the blog post is written at the same time as the question is created.
However, you are right that we could quote our opening prices in the posts. We will move to doing that more over the next couple of weeks. Also I am planning on doing a weekly post on market movements.
@Nigel Eccles: Publishing dynamic charts —which give the latest prices, no matter when the reader download the page— is one of the solutions.

I picked up this market because it has been established for a while. How come you’re not citing odds generated by this prediction market?
@Nigel Eccles: We need to talk —we, the people in this field— together to define what is prediction market journalism, and why it’s important.
