Practice… then preach
Update II - Dan Gillmor points out I am wrong in my assertion that the entirety of ”We The Media” is not available online for free - it is. Please accept my apologies, Dan.
However, when I click “start reading” at the book’s link at O’Reilly it takes me, and everyone else I imagine, here. I’ve since looked and [...]

More, bigger, faster, now
On his new blog, N&R editorial page editor Allen Johnson is talking about the ‘old days’, as, like, the day before yesterday…
“In the old days, a reader might fire off an email about an editorial or a column he’s read in this morning’s paper. I’d respond. And that would be that…”
And then he offers what will [...]

It’s the right thing to do.
From the Reliable Source department. Chapel Hill bureau.

It’s the right thing to do.
As the N&R reported and Greensboro101 amplifies today, my County Commissioner Skip Alston is on mission of great importance.
If Commissioner Alston needs a foot soldier to help him put forth a bond offering aimed at providing Guilford County with a long-term crack addiction treatment center, I’ll march along with him in lockstep.
No matter what such a [...]

So, if its not about the money….?
From Jay Rosen, we learn that the decision on whether or not the N&R will end link-rot as we know it is still up in the air. Rosen quotes N&R’s John Robinson on the matter, “We have not made a decision, and, unfortunately, it’s not a decision I control.” It is easy to discern from [...]

Rottweilers and casseroles and friends
It’s been a couple of days of craziness. Between window fixin’, kid’s schoolwork, bidding new jobs, Jinni’s chemo treatment yesterday, and so forth and so on - blogging has taken a back seat to my other lives.
Because this is chemo week, our friend Rachael did her usual outstanding job of lining up rides and meals [...]

First online, then print
I sense a shift in how the N&R is regarding their online news offering.
On his blog, at 5:15p, editor-in-chief John Robinson commented on his paper’s 4:45p online coverage of the proposed ACC Hall of Champions. I’m confident that story will be a local lead (update: link) on my doorstep about seven hours from now. Along with…
This afternoon [...]
