If you do it for free, they won’t respect you in the morning. Or the next day. Or the day after that. You sink everybody’s boat in the harbor, not just yours. So just DON’T!
I don’t know what to make of these accusations. Part of me wishes that all this journalistic energy had been directed instead to ferret out abuses by politicians who allocate government resources to campaign donors rather than to the neediest among us, but that’s not a real answer.
Actual Malice: Phantom of the Press Room

It’s that time a year…
Why don’t you send press releases as a fax?
VCU with bottom center-fold ad in today’s Washington Post: “Our time, Right now”
For one night only! Ted Koppel returns to the anchor chair, presenting BBC World News America tonight at 7p ET on BBC AMERICA. Watch a clip of the program: http://bbc.in/gILPyv
Newsroom meetings are so much better with him here…
It’s a nice collection of short-form work, and I’ve been rewarded with lot of followers … and exactly no money.
One other media note: the best coverage I saw by far was by al Jazeera and BBC World News America. If you do not DVR or watch Matt Frei’s and Katty Kay’s 7 pm hour-long BBC America broadcast, you’re missing a huge amount of what’s going on in the world.

We certainly didn’t anticipate that the material we published about the corruption in the leadership of Tunisia would fuel what has turned into quiet a revolution.

“I did like nine television shows [about the Favre story] in two days,” Daulerio recalls. “The Today show called me on a Sunday at two thirty. It was brunch time with my girlfriend and a friend, and I was half in the bag. A couple of hours and two bong hits later, I’m doing an interview on the porch. Everyone is jamming Adderall to clean the place as quickly as possible. I was trying to find pants.” The story has generated 5 million page views to date—and plenty of debate about the TMZ-ization of sports journalism. “It isn’t a question of whether or not he should have done the story. It’s a story,” says Frank Deford, who’s been writing for Sports Illustrated since 1962. “But aren’t there better stories to do? Do we really want to know about Brett Favre trying to get laid? Wouldn’t you rather spend your time delving into the evils of college athletics, or drugs and sports?”
Even Will Leitch, the founding editor of Deadspin and one of Daulerio’s closest friends, has gotten a little queasy. At first, Leitch talked with Daulerio constantly about the site, hashing out ideas and offering advice. But in July 2009, when Daulerio posted a link to the Erin Andrews stalker video, Leitch thought he went too far. They remain close but no longer talk about Deadspin. Leitch, now a writer for New York magazine, told me he wouldn’t have published the Favre photos: “I never wanted people to feel like they needed to take a shower.”

The goal is for people passing it or watching it in a bar to think that it’s real coverage.
He’s distinguished himself onscreen as the fun-loving, well-coiffed and dependable guy you can’t help but want to hang out with.
A major reason those forecasters are predicting that the advertising industry will recover faster from the recession than they had expected is the continued, strong demand among marketers for commercial time on television.
