Media Notes…
What: Crappy Journalists Getting It Who they Are, What’s Being Done to them, by Whom: (Flickr User: Blue$treak) Matt Smith from SF Weekly, Called an “unfair, unbalanced, malfeasant journalist,” by a variety of San Francisco publications but most eloquently by SFAppeal We expect our local reporters to have opinions; that’s what makes them flavorful. And [...] -
Willie Brown and Jerry Brown Talking Politics? Or just musing about their last names?
Watch out! California political veterans! I took this photo of California AG Jerry Brown and Former SF Mayor Willie Brown talking this morning after the AG’s presser announcing a law suit against Wells Fargo. A political move? W. Brown was no doubt there covering the story for his current gig “Willie’s World” at the Chronicle. [...] -
Photos: Offshore Drilling Protest SF
Offshore Drilling Drilling Protest SF (Flickr) I went to Interior Secretary Salazar’s San Francisco hearing on offshore drilling to cover the protest outside. From the SFBG: U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar was welcomed to San Francisco last Thursday by a host of activists dressed as marine creatures, including a few diehards in head-to-toe [...] -
Record Store Day
My Take on Record Store Day (Flickr) Like a total idiot, I forgot it was record store day until I walked by Aquarius Records at about 4pm yesterday… They were all sold out of the Sonic Youth/ Jay Reatard and Sonic Youth/ Beck splits. Did anyone get one? Anyway, I did get a few things [...] -

KQED Exterior Sign. Flickr: TimShoesUnited Despite the recent layoffs at public radio stations across the country, NPR (and public radio by extension) has actually weathered the storm on modern journalism. This article in Fast Company has interesting analysis on why the comparatively low-fidelity NPR has seen a huge increase in listeners while newspapers and TV [...] -
The Guardian on Saving the Chronicle
San Francisco Bay Guardian. Flickr: Thomas Hawk The Hearst-owned San Francisco Chronicle has found an unlikely (totally self-righteous) ally in the San Francisco Guardian. In short, Guardian editors feel the the pain of struggling newspapers, but also suggest that the Chronicle and Hearst could do a better job. Instead of throwing up their arms Hearst [...] -
Prop 8 California Supreme Court: Photos
The California Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the legal challenge to prop 8 yesterday. I sat outside taping the feed from the proceedings for KQED … They don’t let reporters bring any electronics into the courtroom. While listening to the orderly legal arguments, I had front row seats to the heated demonstrations outside. Prop [...] -
