This week’s Rundown is up and running here. I especially recommend Citizen Frank’s story of his first marathon, which he trained for in Iraq. For some reason I got out of the habit of reading Naomi’s cool blog, but she has some pretty cool posts about her recent trip to Africa. UPDATE 8/16: She also has this week’s Rundown up and running as well. Mark makes a point here about anonymous comments, that they’re a bit of a turn-off. “It … places a limit on interactivity: I’m looking above and seeing two anonymous people and I’d like to know who they are. Comments serve you but they are also a place for your commenters to interact.” I think he’s […] The Rundown is here this week. Atlanta Originally uploaded by derek7272. Testing auto post to blog UPDATE: Kinda cool… I was able to post that picture and little bit of text straight from my cell phone, using flickr. That is a picture I took over the weekend of Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Martin Luther King Jr. was baptized and […] The latest Rundown is up and running… Dean Esmay is wrong again on just about every detail of this attack on the mainstream press: I was stunned this morning to read that the President survived an assassination attempt in the nation of Georgia. A grenade was thrown at him and went off about 25 feet from where he was standing. …back in […] Glenn Reynolds and Roger Simon are shocked, shocked that the Guardian wrote a story defending itself against the false charge it employed a member of a terrorist organization. Simon: “It’s sign of our media times that the lofty Guardian has seen fit to attack the blog of a ‘mere’ Dartmouth undergraduate.” The mainstream press — […] I am in Virginia … but here’s the latest Rundown, check it out! P.S. it is very very hot here. The latest Rundown is up and running. So Dawn and me aren’t the only NYDN-ers blogging. Here, Carrie tries to dispel the stereotype of the hardboiled police reporter with a knitting blog! The latest Rundown is up and running at Mark’s blog, the very cooly-named A Passion for Running. The theme of this week’s carnival is bloggers meeting up for runs, something I’ve blogged about before. Anyway, check it out. An eye-opening article about how blogging could hurt your next job search. The author is talking about academics, but perhaps it applies to everyone… The pertinent question for bloggers is simply, Why? What is the purpose of broadcasting one’s unfiltered thoughts to the whole wired world? It’s not hard to imagine legitimate, constructive applications […] After skipping a week (my bad), the latest Rundown is up and running. So convicted child rapist Joe Duncan, suspected in the beating deaths of the Groene family of Idaho, kept a blog. He was arrested Saturday eating at Denny’s with 8-year-old Shasta Groene, who may turn out to be the only surviving member of her household. Some of the chilling excerpts: I am scared, alone, and confused, […] In this story, I mentioned Jason Mulgrew, naming him one of the city’s “most eligible bloggers”: “Everything is Wrong With Me,” boasts this 25-year-old upper East Side humorist. Perhaps someday he’ll find someone who’ll appreciate his hungover posts about women’s body parts — or not. Well, today I got an email from Jason, noting he’d […] The latest Rundown — a carnival of running-related posts — is up and running here. Looking for guest editors! The Annenberg Public Policy Center has released more results of that media survey I took awhile back. One interesting tidbit: 45% of journalists said “bloggers have a positive impact on the quality of news that the public receives” (38% said a negative effect). Roughly half, 51%, said ” the emergence of blogs has made journalists […] Week Seven of the Rundown is available here at Richard Stanford’s cool site. Next week’s Rundown will be hosted by Running from my house; if people want to submit their nominations directly to her they may at andshewas23 /at/ hotmail.com. Jonathan Swerdloff (V.C. ’97) and former Herald-Mail reporter Scott Butki are engaged in a debate on blogs versus the mainstream media. “Why should the traditional media,” writes Jon, “… be afforded any more respect than blogs?” I liked commenter “dak”‘s response on Scott’s blog: Credibility is a reputation, not a feature; it’s earned over time, […] |
