Atlanta, GA. 10-22-2009 — Reading the cover story in today’s AJC about social media and the Atlanta mayoral race is like dealing with an ADD person – it’s wildly unfocused and all over the place. And not the least bit interested in hearing what you have to say. Except when it does. From the AJC:
And, [...]

Add Kyle Keyser To WSB-TV Sept. 13 Debate Lineup!

Ooops! I know they mean well at WSB-TV/Channel 2, but sometimes they’re just not able to keep up with all the latest developments happening in their own political backyard via social media. Neither can old-school kinda orgs like the Atlanta Police Foundation (APF).
Bless their hearts! It’s tough out here for the way-it-was-ers, isn’t it?
Seems APF [...]
If A Media Blogger Is Thrown Out of Media Meeting And It’s Not On YouTube, Did It Really Happen?
Posted in Misc, Seeds and Stems, tagged Jeff Jarvis, media on January 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The only thing more pathetic than a media trade association “ejecting” an invited speaker from their meeting about changes in media is that no one taped the rather rude ejection process and put it on YouTube. What a bunch of slow-witted, pointless dinos. From media guru/blogger Jeff Jarvis’ (the ejectee) blog:
But after I finished talking [...]
Welcome To New Media Slavery

Don’t get me wrong. I’m a fan of citizen journalism and The Huffington Post and The Huffington Post’s citizen journalism project, OffTheBus. I’m a user and a cheerleader and a content creator for plenty of time-consuming, life-sucking, rather tiring citizen journalism initiatives. I won’t bore you with the details or the self-congratulatory remarks. You can [...]
The Politics of Sex. The Sex of Politics. The Politics of Sex In Media.

Here’s the replay (Part 1 and Part 2) of the Nightline/Bob Woodward interview with John Edwards. Yes, watching it made me squirm.
As for the media composition of this wickedly delightful scandal… good for Elizabeth Edwards for not sitting passive/aggressively by her disgraced husband’s side like some lap dog, but making him get out there and [...]
It’s The Citizen, Stupid

Jeez Louise! With all the MSM journalists sobbing in their seats about the demise of journalism (as they know it) at last night’s Atlanta Press Club/Society of Professional Journalists awards, and the Georgia Gang scratching their receding hairlines over how to make money online, since it’s obvious (even to them) that journalism is headed online, [...]
Staging Crawford, TX

Interesting live-streamed chat from NBC cameraman and some documentary producer on “political stagecraft” and how the media do a special kind of visual propaganda with “the ranch” in Crawford.
Yep, everyone’s in on this game. Big Media, The White House, the people of Crawford.
The documentary producer cameraman Jim Long interviews here lifts the lid on the whole [...]
Cox Plantation’s Best Idea Ever!

WSB-TV Channel 2 (Comcast 03, or affectionately “Death Star 2″ in local TV World) will be launching The Hawaii 5-O channel! Freakin’ awesome as that’s my favorite TV show of all time. I just think about its famous opener – the first ever TV show to use quickie-zoom camera techniques juiced-up alongside that pounding, vaguely ominous surf music [...]
The Sunday Hustle
Posted in Atlanta Media, Dead Tree Zone, tagged Atlanta, media, Hustler magazine, The Sunday Paper, Nancy Benoit on February 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I picked-up a The Sunday Paper now on stands, the one with a glaring cover that promised, finally, a localized and intriguing story: “Hustler Scandal.” Turns out it was all just a tease.
And a tease that required one of those pesky ”full disclosures” from TSP. The verbage “Hustler Scandal” was merely a built-to-order cover story about a splashy case that The Sunday [...]
Welcome to Mostly Media!

After spending just a little too much time over on, let’s just say another blog, it became clear that there was a need for a blog about southern media matters. Or heck, even a blog that focuses mostly on Atlanta news media. With some contemporary culture thrown in to liven-up the room.
If you’re as keenly interested [...]
