MSM vs Digital in 2009 with NYT’s Brian Stelter
On today’s Wilshire & Washington, we ask the question: Who’s on top, the MSM or Digital Media? Who’s leading the discussion, why, and is it a good thing? To help us navigate this tricky landscape, we’ve got New York Times reporter Brian Stelter with us; Stelter covers television and digital media, and spent over three [...]
“The Right Idea” >> The Future of Communications
The Right Idea, Episode 35: The Future of Communication from The Winston Group on Vimeo.
I spent a lovely afternoon with Kristen Soltis, of The Winston Group, and Mark Drapeau (a.k.a. @cheeky_geeky) discussing the future of communications. Please disregard my wretched hair; Rich and I were up assembling IKEA furniture until 1am the night before!
How Bing & Twitter Can Save Journalism
This commentary was originally posted at CauseCast.org.
If you Google the “demise of journalism,” some 718,000 results will appear detailing the transition of consumers to the Internet, the decline of advertising revenue, the hacking of newsroom editorial staffs, the artificial knowledge of crowd-sourced information, and the collective threat to intellectualism and civic responsibility. Usually fingers are [...]
How Twitter Will Realize Obama’s Biparatisan Vision

I recently [...]
The Hybrid Media Takeover
As I left the 140 Characters Conference (a.k.a. “The Davos of Twitter”) yesterday afternoon, I was approached by a lovely suit-by-day-DC-based-lifestyle-blogger-by-night who wanted to chat about the business of blogging. The whimsical tone in her voice implied that her relatively interesting day job was not half as rewarding as the passion project she feeds in [...]
Last Night’s ‘Virtually Speaking’ with Jimbo Hoyer
Much like the way I came to appreciate some of society’s great phenomenons such as “The OC” after the fact, I finally ventured into Second Life last night as a guest on “Virtually Speaking.” (Note my hot avatar provided by the VS team, including the not-exactly-true-to-life long legs.)
Jay Ackroyd (a.k.a. Jimbo Hoyer) and I discuss [...]
#facebookshouldnotbetwitter
My typical late-night routine of catching up on news and friends has taken a serious hit ever since Facebook launched its unfortunate redesign.
I’m a journalist and web site proprietor; I know most redesign backlash is really a learning curve for the lesser evolved among us who will eventually embrace the enhanced services in the [...]
My Sneak Peek at the Future of Entertainment
Just got home after screening the first four episodes of Harper’s Globe, the latest project from my friends Miles Becket and Greg Goodfried. Miles & Greg are the notorious creators of LonelyGirl15 and Kate Modern, which for you non-techies out there means essentially that they are Internet Gods whom some consider to be the “founders” [...]
