Hey! Did you read my prior post on how journalists should market themselves as a brand? If not, you may want to read it first, because it serves as a foundation for this post.
By now you should’ve read this list of objectives for the non-wired journalist created by new-media guru Howard Owens — especially if [...]
“You don’t go into journalism to be rich.”
I can’t recall an accurate number of times I’ve heard that phrase or some variation of it. From the moment I took my first introductory journalism course up until a few days ago speaking with a friend, this idea that there’s no money to be made in journalism [...]
(Scroll for updates - it just hit the Drudge Report, so you know this is going to blow up big time.)
I just got done watching the CNN / YouTube debate between the Republicans, looking to see how much different it would be than the Democratic equivalent a few months ago. Frankly, I don’t really care [...]
Undoubtedly, by now you’ve heard of the “Obamagirl” video, and there’s been quite a bit of media hype surrounding it.
In case you haven’t, check it out, but then keep reading as it ties into a few points I’ve been wanting to make about social networks, politics and now an interesting essay on the emergence [...]
While I followed the Virginia Tech shootings rather intensely for the first few days, I stopped watching the cable networks within 24 hours of the story breaking. Why? Well, look no further than The Daily Show with Jon Stewart:

I haven’t been a big watcher of PBS since “Seasme Street” and “Mister Roger’s Neighborhood,” but after watching the last 15 minutes or so of Frontline’s “News War” series on the local PBS affiliate, I just had to watch the rest of the episodes.
I just finished watching all four parts of the series online this [...]
For my Facebook friends, this is a bit old. But for those that haven’t seen it yet, here’s a photo of me (click here for the full-size version, via the Chicago Tribune) with Gov. Rod Blagojevich after his combined budget/State of the State address as he’s making his way down a staircase with the media [...]
It’s 2:10 a.m. and I’m up blogging and also waiting for the launch of The Politico. So far, no dice.
Still, I’m really excited to see what they’ve got up their sleeves. There’s been a bit of buzz lately:
NYTimes: For Journalists, Politics Not as Usual
Washingtonian: Politico Hopes To Rock Washington Media
Washington Times: Editor sees room for [...]
For those that remembered and visited CampusByline.com back in the day (well, only a few months ago) and recalled that I’d abandoned it, I want to announce to you that it’s back.
I’m keeping the goals for the site very low right now at three posts a day. I figure that’s not too lofty.
So, go check [...]
ABC News repoter Amanda Congdon went to CES 2007. While I could care less about the fact that TASER International is offering more stylish, pink Taser guns for consumers to own, I’ll gladly watch their sales reps zap a reporter on the showroom floor.
God knows why Congdon wanted to get shocked by 50,000 volts of [...]
