“I went to school for one year. It was the best experience but the worst experience.”
Canadian Media Guild VP Lisa Lareau on the status of the CBC “What we do see is an increasingly empty Broadcasting Centre. We see empty offices. We see one empty studio, another one used by a former network competitor (Rogers) and a few more slated to be shuttered by next year. We see whole areas of […]
I am not sure why there are a bunch of stories about fluoride right now, since only a couple of B.C. cities are actually voting on it. But nevertheless , here’s the Globe and Mail tackling it today, and coming up with the same conclusions as elsewhere: “The overwhelming evidence is that fluoride is safe […]
The best podcasts out there embrace the unique properties of the medium. They’re intimate, and personal. They’re portable. They’re not constrained to broadcast lengths. They take advantage of the fact that listeners start from the beginning, every time.
Seth Godin: “With so many podcasts, free downloads and Spotify stations to listen to, why? With traffic, weather and talking maps in your pocket, why wait for the announcer to get around to telling you what you need to know?” This is my theory: take a listen at a traditional radio broadcast. How much of […]
The Guardian reports on a speech by Conservative MP Theresa May: “If the BBC can provide all the locally-significant news, what reason is left for local people to buy a newspaper? That’s as dangerous for local politics as it is for local journalism. “The BBC has to think carefully about its presence locally and the […]
Emily Oster writing for FiveThirtyEight, Nate Silver’s data-based journalism outfit: “The bottom line is that if you want to build a case against water fluoridation — and, apparently, many people do — it is possible to do so. But the case is weak.” There have been many comprehensive reviews on fluoride in mainstream media, most […]
Prince George as an argument against the need for population growth.
A collective of independent, experimental, and production-rich podcasts have raised over half a million dollars from 20,000 people in under a month. You want to talk about the future of radio? You should be talking about this.
“If your parents are letting you live in the basement, you might as well go out and do something for free to put the experience on your CV.”
And now for the National Research Council’s official time signal.
A look at how the stories we tell and the images we show morph and adapt online. From photos of events that never happened, to crafting that irresistible headline that you just have to click on. The push and pull of truth, fiction, and misattribution in a viral culture.
Heer Jeet, who inspired my post on Twitter essays the other day, writes a Twitter essay about the Twitter essay: “The twitter essay is not just a regular essay with numbered sentences broken up into tweets. It is a form with own rules.” Worth a read. If the Twitter essay is a form (and I’d […]
Good discussion between two political leaders from Prince George and Prince Rupert on the reasons First Nations don’t get involved in municipal politics, and what needs to change to increase interest.
Question posed by the show’s Twitter page, with lots of people weighing in. As best I can tell Wab Kinew, Margaret Atwood and Jann Arden are leading the list. So is Norm Macdonald who has expressed interest and would definitely be, well, interesting. I’ll back Kinew, Atwood, and Arden, for sure. Some other names I’d […]
