It takes four muscles to smile, but only two to "Meme It"

nobody@vox.com(John, the DailyMe Intern) — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 15:58:11 +0000

There's a unique newspaper published in my hometown called The Happy Herald. Its underlying concept is noble as can be: give South Florida all the news that's fit to print, as long as it's positive and perky. The result is a weekly, fourteen-pag...

Back in Business: Bookshelf on Board

nobody@vox.com(mallorynyc) — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 02:00:58 +0000

My apartment is finally pretty much furnished. Thanks to a very good friend, I did not have to buy an armoire, chest of drawers, nightstand, or dining table; I already had all my kitchen stuff, of course; but I had to buy a couch and a real books...

Media Pushback...finally

nobody@vox.com(Jerry) — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 06:21:50 +0000

The media sucks. This is a fact. There is little in our country that brings this matter to the forefront quite like a presidential election. With the ubiquity of 24/7 cable news channels the truth of something is almost immaterial as long as t...

Leveraging Digg as a PR Professional or Journalist

nobody@vox.com(Lexy Klain) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 23:55:07 +0000

I have mentioned the benefits of using social bookmarking sites before but I think it's beneficial to mention it again - mainly people seem to be more receptive to using online Web 2.0 tools these days. And more and more, we are seeing people use...

Calling a Liar a Liar

nobody@vox.com(Patty) — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 00:53:42 +0000

I'm so glad to see this on MSNBC and a journalist being a journalist, especially on television. Thanks for pointing this video out Timmy. I'm also reminded of Al Franken's book of a couple of years ago. I looked up Rachel Maddow from MSNBC a...

biden really does palin comparison

nobody@vox.com(W) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:24:15 +0000

Roger Simon wrote a piece dripping with sarcasm for Politico today. And I love it. Focusing on the outcry over the media coverage Sarah Palin has been receiving since the announcement about her taking the Republican VP slot last week, Simon perf...

The Risk Taker Revived?

nobody@vox.com(Mahoganie) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:07:03 +0000

I should be jumping for joy with excitement, but I'm not. Instead I'm nervous with my stomach tied up in knots and I feel an overwhelming amount of pressure. Of course all of this has caused a dull headache to ease into my life at the moment. *s...

My trip to the Seattle waterfront

nobody@vox.com(Reviving Rose) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 04:15:30 +0000

Today I went to visit my grandparents on their boat in a marina along the Seattle waterfront. Parking there is always a hassle and my mom once again made the mistake of driving down a no-exit street into the ferry terminal. Partway down this stre...

045.

nobody@vox.com(rocket launcher) — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 23:03:51 +0000

Second day of school! We took an adventure with cameras in Journalism. That was fun. I like Mr Martin, the APUS teacher. We already have tons of homework in that class, though, which sucks. Lunch was fun. I ended up going upstairs by the art ro...

Why I gave up on newspapers

nobody@vox.com(yucca) — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 14:39:40 +0000

I have a couple of friends who are professional journalists. So the demise of the American newspaper is of more than academic interest to me. The ills of the traditional print news business are well worn topics of discussion in the blogosphere, ...

DNC Preview: Big Money and Citizen Stories

nobody@vox.com(Bol) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:39:57 +0000

Why are corporations spending so much money at the Democratic National Convention? Why is there such a massive media investment, when we already know the outcome? Why is The UpTake here? Let's all find out, together, with this tongue-in-cheek pre...

Two things, probably related.

nobody@vox.com(mcco12) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:06:49 +0000

I am seriously thinking of getting rid of cable. No joke: 90% of the time, there is nothing worth watching on TV. The only thing I watch regularly is the CBS news and The National on CBC. Once in a while I watch some crime show in A&E or some coo...

Beige-ing

nobody@vox.com(whiteorchid) — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 02:58:44 +0000

The CBC has been doing an amazing job of covering the XXIX Olympics in Beijing. I love Ron MacLean on Hockey Night in Canada, and he is doing a great job of hosting(?) the Olympics for the CBC. All of the people who are covering the events are doi...

nobody@vox.com(typewriter) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 08:20:17 +0000

Tomorrow (well, today, it's after midnight) is the first day of school for my kids. I'm so old I can remember when school started in September. But that was back in the days when kids didn't spend the whole school year cramming for one lousy test....

Bale-licious (aka one of my future husbands)

nobody@vox.com(lǝɥɔɐɹ) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 18:26:31 +0000

No Charges For Bale I have issues with this CNN article, however, why is a supposed reputable news source quoting a 'Tabloid' as it's source? This is happening more and more, wtf journalists? I can't tell you how many times I have heard the local...

standard operating procedure

nobody@vox.com(nodalpoints) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 11:31:06 +0000

I recently finished reading the book 'Standard Operating Procedure' by Philip Gourevitch and Errol Morris. It is based on the interviews that were made for the Errol Morris film of the same name. It is about, if you do not already know, what ha...
