Queing up to be a Citizen Journalist.
2008-07-15 02:05:00
According to an interesting article in the Queue blog of John McQuiston WTSP has posted an ad looking for citizen journalists "The station will train 20 ordinary Joes and Janes to shoot video. WTSP will provide a camera and tripod for those chosen. Video may show on the air or on the station's web site with each video the station uses earning the shooter $20."John goes on to discuss the idea and and has come up with several reasons why the station might be doing it. including "But mostly, it sounds like a response to the threat from blogs like Seminole Heights or Davis Islands Today. They're both blogs dedicated to sections of Tampa. There are probably a lot more that I don't know about. Each by itself is no rival but together they continue the chipping away of local TV and newspaper audiences"Here is my thought. Lets get as many Seminole Heights residents applying for the citizen journalist jobs, that way the airways will be dominated by coverage of Seminole Heights events ...

Sports Emmys Winner And Part-Time Political Journalist Tim Russert Drops De
2008-06-14 00:09:00
“Meet The Press”? Who Gets Up THAT Early On Sunday Mornings Anyway? RIP, Tim Russert That’s right, I’m a beer-swilling NFL fan and on Sunday mornings I’m lucky enough to wake up in time to witness the kick-offs in the early games. Therefore; I always thought of the guy with the unmistakeable face (may he Rest In Peace) as an “ESPN football analyst-type” who would delve into the politcal arena every now and then like many so many other sports pundits will do on occasion. As I watched the breaking (sad) news today, I literally asked those around me if that was “that ESPN guy”. I apologize for my ignorance. Obviously, the man was so much more than just THAT. CORRECT; I’m admitting I had no idea on Earth Tim Russert was better known for his political wit (again, since I don’t watch “Meet The Press“) than for his awesome sports commentary; I thought it was the other way AROUND. Oh, sure; I’d seen...

I need professional journalist Craig Falzone in my fantasy leagues
2008-05-30 17:38:00
Check out this article from Craig Falzone over at Yahoo's fantasy site. I'll cut through the muck and post the heart of the article:Falzone traded Alex Rodriguez, Joe Crede, Eric Hinske, Tadahito Iguchi and Guillermo Mota for Matt Kemp, Carlos Gomez, Alex Gordon, and Casey Kotchman in mid-May.This is the kind of trade proposal that results in my emailing smart-ass rejection notes. Carlos Gomez was on an unbelievable tear early in the year: and he has one stolen base since May 12th. Matt Kemp was stuck in a miserable Dodgers OF (although Jones is now out of the picture -- but Falzone didn't know that would happen); Kemp is very good in four categories, one of them being SBs, but he has a less than mind blowing three home runs! In only 123 at-bats, A-Rod has seven. Was Alex Gordon even an upgrade? Hinske and Crede aren't being terribly outperformed by Gordon (they're all within 40 or so spots of each other in the Yahoo rankings). Call that one a wash. Kotchman? Kotchman!?! His Ap...
Vanessa Bryant is a bitch? She curses an journalist out?
2008-05-27 19:54:00
Last night, I got cussed out by Vanessa Bryant. Seriously. At the Lakers game. In front of her kids. In front of the Lakers locker room. It was awesome. She is mad about an article I wrote where I mentioned her. That means one of two things - she either reads the ESPN blog or she has herself on Google alerts. Both are fantastic.So as I?m walking out of the Lakers locker room after some post-game interviews with the players, I pass Vanessa, who is sitting outside the locker room as usual with her two girls.?Laura!? she screams (yes, she apparently knows my name). ?Fuck you! You fucking bitch!??Excuse me?? I say, completely baffled as I look around me to see if there is someone else named Laura. No, there?s not.Her daughters ? ages 5 and 2 ? are sitting next to her on the bench looking at their mom as she screams.?Fuck you! How dare you write about me and my daughters and their schedule! You didn?t say you were writing an article! Fuck you! You fucking bitch. You have no journalism et...

Simple WordPress Themes - The Journalist
2008-05-20 12:56:00
If you are anything like me, then you appreciate the simple-ness of clean cut WordPress themes. I find them just so much easier on the eye as there is nothing that will distract from the content. In the last year or so I’ve seen an increasing amount of blogs surface who prefer to use simple themes like The Journalist. The Journalist WordPress theme is similar to the stylish Whitepaper. It is simple and clean. While some bloggers do prefer to use paid WordPress themes (myself included) for branding purposes, many of these free themes are great and even though I use a paid theme on my major blogs, I also use free themes on my other blogs. The more I think about it, those clean, predominantly white spaced themes lend themselves really well to blogging about simple things. Zen style blogs are all the rage as of late and everywhere they surface they seem to attract a huge amount of followers. After all, blogging about the simplistic aspect of life does help us to slow down and smel...
Jonah Goldberg, Intellectual Lightweight and Hack Journalist
2008-05-16 10:51:00
I guess my main issue with this guy is that he fashions himself as some sort of a scholar. Not that the Right lacks scholars. William Buckley, Ludwig von Mises, Frederick Hayek, Winston Churchill,Hell, Giovanni Gentile (!), are all at least welterweight intellectuals. You might disagree with them, but they don't write garbage.Jonah Goldberg is a pretend scholar. He drifted into fame on the back of his ultra-right wing Momma, Lucianne Goldberg, a very rich lady who ran a rightwing publishing house. She put sonny boy in charge as vice president anyway through no talent or degree of his own.Lucianne was the charmer that helped use Linda Tripp to publicize the completely preposterous charges that led to the near-impeachment of a US President on one of the corrupt episodes of US politics since the election of Grover Cleveland by a fraudulent Electoral College in the 1870's. Before that, Dred Scott. Before that, Aaron Burr murdering a fellow politician while a nation cheered.Modern cons...

Key to Sadiq encounter with journalist
2008-04-12 05:27:00
AHMEDABAD: The script for the Sadiq Jamal Mehtar encounter read like any other encounter where the police claimed "intelligence inputs" about this man's involvement in terrorist activities. In the FIR lodged on January 13, 2003, the then crime branch inspector Jaisinh Parmar stated that Sadiq was present in Chief Minister Narendra Modi's function at Khokhra on November 24, 2002 with a pistol with intention to kill him. Interestingly, the crime branch ignored a critical detail that a case against Sadiq was registered in Bhavnagar just nine days before he appeared in the said Modi function. He and five others were booked in a gambling offence and set free after the formalities. The details of how the police was tipped off about Sadiq's presence near Galaxy cinema at Naroda on the night of January 12 are in stark contrast to what Mumbai-based journalist Ketan Tirodkar, believed to be Daya Nayak's ally, said about Sadiq's killing. He narrated how Sadiq was made a bait in a gran...

Blogger as Journalist
2008-03-18 00:00:00
Why discuss journalism on Transparent Real Estate? Because real estate bloggers are essentially journalists in their own markets and should understand how professional journalists are working to distribute their content. Bloggers can use the same syndication methods to expand their online presence. Online, mainstream media still rules SFGate (San Francisco Chronicle online) says consumers still go primarily to big brand name sites, but mainstream media can't support their operations on relatively measly online revenues. The top 10 online news sites in 2007 were either big-media operations - such as the New York Times or ABC News - or online aggregators such as Yahoo News or Google News, whose content is largely produced by traditional media outlets."The fact is that the audience still sees a lot of value in reporting about public life," said Tom Rosenstiel, director of the initiative. "What (media companies) need to do is figure out how to make money doing that.(author note: a ...
