Current TV on Future Journalism, The San Francisco Post-Chronicle
What happens if the San Francisco Chronicle dies? Tim Redmond from the SFBG thinks no one will give a shit, but a lot of people are concerned that San Francisco might become the first major US city with no local daily. Luckily, San Francisco also happens to be home to some of the worlds leading [...] -
Misc Round Up: Phil Spector, Journalism Layoffs, Oakland Murders, Marijuana.
I Heart Phil Spector’s License Plate. Flickr: cgkinla Popping Mad: Legendary Pop Music Producer’s second murder trial ended last week. According to the LA Times, he may have to wait a long time for his verdict. While he waits, someone can let him know that looking like a homicidal maniac doesn’t help your case. Oakland [...] -
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer: R.I.P. (2)
It’s in the P-I. Flicker: GlenFleishman I never read the Post-Intelligencer, but regardless, it’s a sad day for journalism. An article in Time Magazine presented the issues fairly clearly. The problems in the newspaper industry are well known. I won’t dwell on it. Declining print readership means declining revenue from advertising sales. Tough economic times [...] -
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer R.I.P.
Sun Sets on the P-I. Flickr: Csaila Today marks the final edition of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. From the paper itself: The Hearst Corp. announced Monday that it would stop publishing the 146-year old newspaper, Seattle’s oldest business, and cease delivery to more than 117,600 weekday readers. The company, however, said it would maintain seattlepi.com, making [...] -
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer R.I.P (Prelude: May the News Prevail)
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 1874. Flickr: Origins of History William Faulkner was a verbose dude, but in my opinion, his most poignant words came in his uncharacteristically concise 1950 Nobel Prize acceptance speech. I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal because he will endure: that [...] -
DC Voting Rights Act: Update (2)
Thank you Rober Schlesinger. Voting rights for District of Columbia residents has become a gun rights issue thanks to the NRA. Senate leaders did leave the opportunity open for them. I suppose it’s not that unbelievable that politicians and lobbyists would play politics with the rights of DC’s nearly 600,000 residents. NPR, did some nice [...] -
Fever Ray: New Music
Do you miss The Knife as much as Kimmy Stolz? Me too. Karen Dreijer Andersson = 1/2 of the Knife = Fever Ray = back with more creepy + fabulous music = Sweet. For more, see (my) piece on Fever Ray and some exclusive photography in this month’s SOMA. (I’ll post the permalink once they [...] -
Environmental Stimulus
In case you were wondering, a lot of the $787 billion dollar stimulus package is going to the environment. Head over to The Green Life (of Sierra, courtesy of yours truly) to see how the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act affects the nation’s environmental future: Part one: The EPA Part two: Energy Part three: Green [...] -
DC Voting Rights Act: Update
The DC Voting Rights Legislation which would give the district a long sought after vote in Congress appears to be at an impasse in The House of Representatives thanks to the gun amendment passed by the Senate last week. “D.C. leaders hoped that provision would not be included in the House version, but the National [...] -
DC Voting Rights Act: Here we go again
The DC Voting Rights Act of 2009 passed the Senate in amended form on February 26, 2009. It’s up for a vote in the House this week according to a statement by House Majority Leader Stacy Hoyer. The bill turns Washington DC into a Congressional district and provides it with a voting member in the [...]
