Remains of the Year, Media and Journalism Edition


1. When truthiness becomes more important than truth and excludes or slants information because of how the mainstream media uses those editors they have that blogs don’t.

2.  Anyone want a master’s degree in media psychology and social change? I was born too soon.

3. The Wire, an HBO show about newspapers, has been around for five seasons and is in its final year? Oops.

4. Deans of eight journalism schools, “are asking the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to require television and radio stations to provide local news reporting.” Hmm – very curious. Juxtapose with the rise of hyperlocal blogs like Word of Mouth, Glass City Jungle, Callahan’s Cleveland Diary, Brewed Fresh Daily or even Eric Mansfield’s Have I Got News For You.  Hmmm indeed.  Here’s the op-ed they wrote.

5. Women in Media & News appeal for assistance

6. Top 10 Newspaper Industry stories of the year from Editor & Publisher

    Don’t worry, the first 4 seasons of The Wire were not about the newspaper, just this final season. That being said, a BIG oops on your part if you have not seen this show. Rectify that.

    Thanks, Hol. I watch pretty much zero tv and don’t get HBO. But if it’s on DVD…what else is vacation for. Tx.
