Today’s E&P: Young Journos and The Social Contract 2.0
Forgive my lengthy absence; I was out of town at my ten year high school reunion! In this week’s Editor & Publisher column I discuss the murky intersection of journalism with activist bloggers and social networks. For better or worse, journalism is inherently fused with technological evolution and this alignment will have redefining implications for [...]
E&P: Do Young Journos Have a Future? And Will It Be Dumb?
This week’s edition is up. Remember, you can’t leave comments on the Editor & Publisher site yet, but you can leave them here or email me. It’s baffling how many journalists, who comb through countless angles to produce a thoughtful story, are actually one-trick ponies. Of course, there’s a reason why Scarlett Johanssen’s CD of [...]
The Nature of ‘The Beast’
I started reading Vanity Fair because Brad Pitt was wearing a soaked white shirt as he emerged from a Malibu beach on the cover, thus it was in the context of this undignified marketing ploy that I came to be enamored with the idea of Tina Brown and Graydon Carter and their sexy politics. (I [...]
Responses to -31- Debut
-31- began with a bang this week and I hope the conversation will continue as the project grows. As noted in this Poynter emedia tidbit, we won’t be able to have comments on the entries until the fall when Editor & Publisher adds some blogging functionality, but we’ll work around it until then. I did [...]
W&W Tomorrow: Julia Allison Joins to Talk Celebrities on the Campaign Trail
Because how can you not talk about that after Paris Hilton responds to John McCain’s bizarre ad with this: See Paris Hilton Responds to McCain Ad and more funny videos on FunnyOrDie.com See more funny videos at Funny or Die I’m just really disappointed that Britney didn’t show up at the end to make out.
Really Weird Anti-Obama RNC Ad
Ted brought this strange video to my attention this morning before we recorded Wilshire & Washington. It’s supposed to represent a German TV ad for Obama and features (obviously) David Hasselhoff and a clip from “Titanic.” Apparently being a right-winger doesn’t apply to the creative side of one’s brain.
Sarah Lacy Interviews Julia Allison
Lacy is, you may recall, the woman who so obnoxiously interviewed Mark Zuckerberg at SXSW in March. (I was in the crowd that day and can attest that it was absolultely horrific.) She’s much better here with Julia Allison, who is dead on in her comments about companies needing to stop being afraid of new [...]
That Was Scary.
I can’t remember feeling an earthquake like that since I was a little kid! CNN reports that it was a magnitude 5.8. I was feeding Scarlett O’Hara in the kitchen when the refrigerator started shaking and when I realized what was happening I couldn’t remember whether I was supposed to stand under the doorway or [...]
