Social Media Scene Kids - (USA)
Social Media Scene Kids This is a Fun Post I am merely writing about due to the fact of “Web Stereotypes” out there, it came about when I overheard people discussing about how they dislike “Group A” so much and how they can’t stand “Group B” in a local Starbucks. So In my head, I was thinking wow those adults are Scene Kids, I chuckled a little bit and thought I would write a fun post about it. What is a Scene Kid exactly? While there any many variations and definitions of the “Scene Kid”

Policies for PR Firms and Guest Lists for Bloggers - (USA)
Within every press conference is the famed guest list where members of the media RSVP to attend exclusive launches run the beat. Some events are pretty much lax when it comes to press exclusivity. A guy can walk in and say he’s from “Wheelbarrow Unlimited” for a tech product launch and the guy at the registration table will let him in. Others are more stringent, seeing that the event is not covered by your niche, and you weren’t invited - they won’t let you in. But let them in they do - what ha

Today is the two-year anniversary of the 35W bridge collapse and, accompanying the tragedy, was a seminal moment in Minnesota's burgeoning citizen journalism community. WCCO TV's Jason DeRusha blogs about his experience reporting the collapse today. I thought I'd share links to my thoughts about citizen media's roll in the coverage ...

Will India Become a Victim of its Own Success? - (USA)
Economic growth, globalization, and the social homogenization of its culture with America, Europe and other progressive societies is likely increase India’s venerability to terrorism in the future. The terrorist attack on Bombay is much worse than CNN knows or is able to report, the number of lives lost and process in which they were taken is tragic. We all need to put down our Starbucks, think about the disorder in the world, and petition the US government and global governments to deve

As Seen In… - (USA)
A recent pair of posts from Bruce Hembd at horndogblog.com about his recent efforts into tracking where his content was popping up over the web got me thinking (and his findings are fascinating: here and here ). It made me wonder how many times Adaptistration has been appearing (legitimately) in non-blog formats over the past several years. As it turns out, the list is humbling and it’s an honor to be used as a positive resource in such a diverse group of media outlets. My apologies to any ou

Umno-owned Utusan Malaysia’s immunity to flout the law by continuously inciting racial hatred and r - (USA)
Umno-owned Utusan Malaysia’s immunity to flout the law by continuously inciting racial hatred and religious discord is a disgrace to Malaysian journalism and a public slap-in-the-face for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 1Malaysia concept.Just five days ago, Utusan Malaysia carried an editorial “Tidak sedarkah Melayu sedang di hina?” and an article “Melayu jangan jadi bacul” spouting unabashed rank racism, incitement and sedition totally subversive of Najib’s 1Malaysia slogan.Today, Utus

Dan Rather Calls for Presidential Media Commission - (USA)
Filed under: Barack Obama , Economy , Media , Obama Administration , Culture Here's a question for Dan Rather: How could you be so right and yet so wrong? More specifically: What would possess you to call for the government to stick its nose into journalism? You're right on the money when you decry the sorry state of the media in this country. But you are amazingly off base when you suggest a commission appointed by the president to study the problem. -- Permalink | Email t

Globe, Star spew Liberal talking points - (USA)
Yeah I know, I know. I said I was going to take some time off. But this one just sticks in my craw.Yesterday’s Globe carried the headline, Harper blames Canada for visa furor. Never mind the pesky detail that he actually blamed our lax refugee system.Coincidentally, a press release appeared on the Liberal party’s website the same day – Harper talks down Canada on world stage:“Instead of using the Summit to advance our trade agenda by focusing on ‘Buy American’ policies, Mr. Harper has wasted va

Are Your Photos Informative — or Just Eye Candy? - (USA)
Even before my children could read, they recognized restaurants by their logos. My oldest son began to hum “The Simpsons” theme whenever he saw fluffy clouds in the sky. Images are powerful. And this power can be used in any number of ways. The Power — and Limits — of Eye Candy Many professional communicators like to use attractive visuals as a hook for the written or spoken word. Using visuals as “eye candy” can make the audience stop to learn more about the story. Catherine Zet

Lazy Journalism and Lazy Reading - (USA)
Yesterday on twitter I was alerted to the supposed receipt of GMA’s New York dinner. The graphic looked familiar and true enough I’d seen it on another blog and knew the breakdown was THEORETICAL, the purpose behind this exercise being to illustrate how X amount of people having dinner in a restaurant with a menu at X prices could’ve racked up $20,000. The purpose of the THEORETICAL exercise was to see whether it was possible for 27-30 people to consume such an amount in one sitting. And tru

Guest blogged by Ernest A. Canning The Nation magazine headline was sensational: Blackwater Founder Implicated in Murder . The article, written by Jeremy Scahill, an investigative journalist and author of Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army , exploded on screen during a must see Aug. 4, 2009 segment of MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann ( video posted below ).

The fabric - (USA)
Last week, my eight year old daughter brought home a book to read from her school library. A comic book illustrating—you will not guess this—French Revolution! And it was fascinating as I read it from cover to cover. I mean I have learnt about the French revolution as part of my high-school history academic curriculum. But not like this. And just from these graphic images—for the first time really—I realized how the fabric of their society, and eventually, their living conditions eroded to

News you can use Brummett is still going grumpily into the new media night. Naming no names, he has harsh words for the "choose-your-news" segment on Channel 7 with Kristin Fisher and, for now, resists her challenge to come on her live web show to talk about it. I think he ought to pay a visit when his new blog is up and running. It's all about pollinating the brand in today's electronic universe. But he seems to feel strongly enough about the merits of this sort of journalism not to join th

Kurtz says media should call Palin wrong on “death panel” comment - (USA)
The Columbia Journalism Review takes note that media critic Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post says the media are free to call Sarah Palin’s “death panel” comment just plain wrong.Kurtz was asked about the comment Monday during his online Q&A:Portland, Ore.: Is there a point when the media should simply say a politician is wrong? I ask in reference to Sarah Palin’s “death panel” comment. [Some background here.] It’s an absurd and irresponsible statement, but how does the media avoid treating it
