Almost Like Radio
This morning, Geoff Livingston asked me to fill in for his vacationing partner Richard Laermer for this week’s “The El Show” on BlogTalkRadio.
We talked about:
- the Age of Experts (who don’t always do their homework)
- balancing life with social media
- the future of journalism, as it melds with social media
I mentioned Scott Karp and Publishing2 – and got a nice note from Scott after the show.

On Jobs
about 4 months ago - No comments
The following my piece from a larger compilation of thoughts by the authors at Social Media Explorer. The History of Steve Jobs will forever be clouded by the Mystery of Steve Jobs. He will go down as an irreplaceable force of creative vision, and years from now, people will still be wondering what would have
TV Catching Up to Me?

About a year and a half ago, I put forward the novel idea that cable and satellite providers needed to step up their offerings. Shows are increasingly becoming commodities, and there are other ways to access them, in whole or just the good parts. Now, it looks like DirecTV is taking that first step. A

Fantasyland. When I worked in TV news, “Fantasyland” was known as the area where the Producers sat. Listen to: Off the Wall If you ever watched Broadcast News, then Producers are the people like Holly Hunter, who write the newscasts and guide their content. Then, you have Reporters like Albert Brooks’ character, and anchors like

I don’t mean to pick on Good Morning America because it’s bad. It’s not. In fact, it is the only TV news I regularly subject myself to anymore. They probably do as well or better than any of the other networks. Which is sad, because what passes for news these days is not news, it’s
Firewalls and Fairness

Keith Olbermann has been suspended indefinitely from MSNBC, because he gave money to three Democrats who were running for seats in the House and Senate. Already, there is a big stink being floated that he is being targeted because he gave to Democrats, and that Fox News gave a million to Republicans, and it’s all
Predictions About Predictions

Three-and-a-half years ago, I wrote a spoof about how analysis of mood and syntax on Twitter could be used to predict a woman’s likely moment of ovulation. A year-and-a-half ago, I wrote a piece about how Google was assembling a significant-enough chunk of content creation and distribution, it would have a prediction engine that could
The Interview Trap

Carl Paladino went on Good Morning America to put his weekend statements into a better light. Instead, he got the journalistic equivalent of a bait-and-switch. Note: This is not a post about gay marriage, gay rights, or about the brutal and idiotic attacks on three homosexuals in the state of New York. Nor is this a
Speed Saves

A gunman fired several rounds in a University of Texas library today. (I don’t think I have to recount the very sensitive issue with you… the rest of the media is sure to dredge up the story of the sniper in the tower.) The interesting piece for me today is how technology changed both the
Mystery Journalism Theater 3000

The boxes are blurring and the silos are stirring. Welcome to a Brave New World of journalism. I’ve maintained that while newspapers are in trouble, journalism isn’t going anywhere. (No, it’s not going to TV, which is floundering through its own business model issues.) There will always be a place for the activity of sharing

Times are tough for newspaper publishers, who are trying to sell their relevance to subscribers and potential advertisers. The temptation to drop standards is ratcheting up, and once standards are lower it’s hard to recover that blow to reputation. Just a year ago, the Washington Post shelved an idea publisher Katharine Weymouth had floated –
