RedBlueAmerica.com ceased using its two moderators today. I’d been in the running late last fall/early winter for the “blue” moderator but did not get the offer. The two people who did worked it for about four-five months but, according to the podcast about the situation (which, at the moment, I can’t find but listened to last night), Scripps Howard, which was the source of the VC, made a decision that effectively ended what the two moderators had been doing but the site remains available for blogging right now. Best of luck to John Temple, editor of the Rocky Mountain News and Scripps VP who started the project, as well as Ben Boychuk and Joel Mathis, whose individual blogs you can still follow. Ironically, it appears that PingVision even just won an award for the design of RBA.
Meanwhile, at the same time that the idea of the RBA full-time position came into view, another opportunity also came to me. Write On For Israel will start in the fall of 2008, without me as a program director but not because the people doing it aren’t enthusiastic and visionary. It really wasn’t the right fit for me for several reasons. However, they hope to have me brought in as a speaker at some point and I look forward to that opportunity. Here’s some vitals in case you know students how might be interested in the program:
WHAT: Write On For Israel: A journalism and advocacy program
WHEN: Seven Sunday seminars during the 2008-2009 school year, interim assignments, and an advocacy project the following year
WHO: Current high-school sophomores must apply now!
WHERE: Seminars meet at Siegal College and other locations during the school year, AND
a free 10-day summer Israel trip includes historic sites and briefings with officials and journalists
TO APPLY: to Tina Keller a tinfo@writeonforisraelcleveland.org or 216-464-4050, ext. 172

RedBlue didn’t work for many reasons. They should have hired you.
