08.28.08ABC News producer arrested in Denver (video)You've probably already heard about this, but now there is video of the ABC News producer who was arrested in Denver. The video doesn't lie, these cops were aching to arrest someone. Pushing someone into the street and then telling them they are "blocking traffic" is just ridiculous. I am curious about what happened between the cut of cop pushing then suddenly the guy, identified as Asa Eslocker, is arrested. Hmm, I wonder how much of this we'll see in St. Paul next week.

08.21.08Overnight at the SentinelMy friend, former colleague and Orlando Sentinel Web producer Matt Simantov recently (and may still be) spent many an hour working as Tropical Storm Fay passed over Florida. Simantov, he also of Control Freak fame, made this short, hip little music video that I thought I'd share. Sure, it's not news but it's fun, lighten up people!

08.20.08AP, you’re on notice!More and more newspapers are planning on canceling their AP subscriptions due to their new and pseudo a-la carté fee structure. Many of the papers say the AP's proposed savings isn't enough to let them keep staff. I find it admirable that some papers are choosing to keep staff for local coverage over a $200,000+/yr AP account for national coverage. I still wonder what these papers will use for A-section fillers but that remains to be seen. Doug Fisher over at Common Sense Journalism weighs in as well. Sue Cross, AP senior vice president/U.S. media markets responded this way:"The last time we ...

08.17.08New models for print journalism are popping up all over, so stop whiningIf you follow the world of journalism, or even read the newspaper, you know that the industry is in "turmoil," or so they say. It is chic right now to talk about the death of the newspaper industry, the end of journalism as we know it and a half-dozen other clichéd statements being trotted out on the increasing number of journalism blogs these days. The tidal wave of buyouts and layoffs industry wide, plus the machinations of Sam Zell & Co., have given both journalists and ex-journalists alike a lot of ammo and fingers to point at the current state of ...

08.12.08Wanted: One slacking bloggerFound him! Yeah, yeah, like everyone else I've been busy, though that is no excuse. New job, lots of training, trying to find a place to live and exploring a new city take up a lot of time. That doesn't leave a lot of time to scan the old RSS feed and make snarky comments at all of the whiny, angry and venomous curmudgeons talking about the news business. Oh, and there's also a little thing called the Republican National Convention happening right up the street. Kind of a big deal and I'm looking forward to being on the media (cyber) front ...
