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?

“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!
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.

Elephant in the Room: When Will the GOP Join the Blogosphere
MediaLizzy and I joined our progressive and conservative voices on today’s HuffPost Media page:
“Liberals may be understandably ecstatic about the influence the blogosphere has had on the election results, but truly thoughtful and responsible citizens should have reservations about the absence of conservative dialogue. It’s too easy these days to consume self-reinforcing information, whether it’s [...]
Politico: Reporters Have No Access on Campaign Trail
Politico has an interesting story today on how news orgs are apparently wasting big bucks traveling with Obama and McCain to limited results:
“Not only do the reporters have little interaction with the candidates, but increasingly they are having little impact on the broad campaign narratives and daily story lines that supply most voters with their [...]
