Would You Like Fries With That?

Or maybe you prefer a few lines of Shakespeare? Either way, a recent story by the Sacremento Bee says about 8% of drama and theater majors end up working in the food service industry, the highest percentage they found. Of course, journalism ranked second at 4.1% … so, yes to the fries and, perhaps, the basics on last night’s city...

Slideshow Salvation

Chadwick Matlin at the Columbia Journalism Review tackles whether slideshows are the scourge or salvation of online journalism. It’s an interesting article, one whose premise I generally agree with–that, regardless of how journalistically empty a slideshow may be, it is generating page views than can be sold to advertisers. And, according to Matlin, the advertisers–at the moment–don’t really care, they...

What Your Email Says About You

According to a story on CNN.com, it says a lot. If you want to believe all the snarky things they have to say … which … well … I do. And I love that graphic, don’t you? Some tips I share with my students … your university email account is the only official form of communication I have with you,...

Setting Your Pricing to Get Your Target Audience

Free is good, right? I mean, I’ll poke around the Apple App store looking for free tools that help me be more productive. I’ll even pay a couple of bucks if something is really slick, really helpful. But that’s it. Go above three, maybe five, bucks and I hesitate. Is it really worth it? I’m pretty price sensitive … but...

“You Get What You Pay For”

So true … “Why would I need backup equipment?” I did laugh out loud at that. And I’m thinking watching these things is better than almost everything on television these days … excepting Top Gear.

Washington Post iPad App Ad

(Worst headline ever up there? Maybe …) The Washington Post has turned to their legends to produce a little promo video for their new iPad application. (Thanks to Conrad Fink for the lede.)

I Should Have Gone …

… but I didn’t. The opportunity existed, but I didn’t grasp it … How many times have we said these things to ourselves? For me, it’s reading about the Online News Association’s annual conference which was last week. There were tweets-a-plenty to remind me of my folly.

Ansel Adams, Street Shooter

No lie … NPR has a gallery of images Ansel Adams donated to the Los Angeles Public Library in the 1960s. It is very un-Adams like in some frames – tilted horizons that, to me, are fairly jarring in their carelessness. Still, the photos have a historical value … a value that he did not understand at the time of...
