PBS Frontline series
February 28, 2007
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been watching the PBS Frontline series called “News War.”
It’s been fascinating to me on several levels. After each episode, it’s been interesting — and highly enjoyable — to talk with my colleagues (both at WPNI and at The Washington Post) about their thoughts on the series.
At least from my point of view, this show should be required viewing for every J-School student in the country, or anyone who is thinking about going into journalism.
Granted, few journalists will ever have to go through the things that the first two episodes dealt with (namely high-level …

Apple recently did a video profile on the new-media work at The Washington Post. That video has been posted on the Apple Pro web site. The end of the video focuses on our team’s work on the “onBeing” project.

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of roanoke.com. I think the new-media team behind that site is smart, creative and builds websites the way that the Internet really works, instead of how many newspaper publishers wish the Internet worked.

I know I said my next blog post was going to include some of the behind-the-scenes information and strategies for our team’s new “onBeing” project on washingtonpost.com, but I just received this link to something interesting and I want to share it.
Here is an interview by Jeff Jarvis with Mark Whitaker.
Mark and I both joined Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive at about the same time. And one of the very first projects that our team was asked to be a part of here at WPNI is something that Mark was the brains behind.
I probably shouldn’t talk much about that particular project …
Blog about “onBeing” posted here a little late. As usual.
February 10, 2007
I had really hoped to post something here on Wednesday about our team’s first major project at Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive, which is called “onBeing.” But time really got away from me on this one, so I didn’t get something posted as soon as I hoped.
My family has long made fun of me for being late, as do my co-workers.
In fact, Levi Chronister — one of the guys on our team who is way too smart to be working with me — often says things like: “The meeting is scheduled for 1 p.m., but my guess is it will be …
