Speaking at Berkeley on Tuesday
March 25, 2007
On Tuesday, March 27, I will be speaking at a couple of events in the San Francisco area — one of which is free and open to the public.
First off, I’m going to speak at Google in the early afternoon on Tuesday — which I can’t decide if I’m more nervous or excited about. Probably both.
:)
More importantly, I get to have lunch in the famed Google cafeteria.
Then that evening, I will be speaking at Berkeley for a Knight New Media/UC Berkeley conference.
I’ve been a speaker at this event for the last several years. It’s a weeklong training session …
“The Creativity 50″
March 23, 2007
According to Wikipedia, Creativity magazine “provides a showcase of the best ideas across all areas of consumer culture, an exploration of the talent and techniques behind the work and insight on the people and the trends shaping brand creativity.”
I know of Creativity magazine because back in the Wild Wild West days of the Internet, one of my favorite web sites on the planet was AdCritic.com. If there was a killer commercial for a Canadian beer company that featured some guy getting kicked in the grapes, you were going to find it on that site. I loved it.
When the …
A cool addition to Slate and a few other smaller projects …
March 14, 2007
What’s really fun about being on this new “product development” team here at Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive is that our projects are really diverse in both involvement and scope.
Our team’s first major project here at WPNI was “onBeing” which was a lot of fun to be a part of because although it was primarily a video-based project, it felt different to me than any other thing we’ve worked on in the past.
We’ve got lots of other projects in the pipeline — some small, some huge. To give some perspective on what I mean by the size of projects, “onBeing” is kind …
What is the role of an online managing editor?
March 9, 2007
At the conferences I speak at, and more and more often via e-mail, I frequently get asked what I think the role — and even the daily responsibilities — of a new-media managing editor should be at a newspaper that wants to truly embrace the Internet and all of the other goofy stuff that’s swirling around us.
After recently doing an interview with Bryan Murley at the Innovation in College Media blog, where I touched on this topic a little, I thought I might go back and expand a little upon that initial discussion.
I can really only speak from my …
New Bill Snead project at LJWorld.com
March 6, 2007
It’s no secret to anyone who has been around me much that Lawrence Journal-World senior editor Bill Snead is one of my favorite journalists in the world. I love the guy and his work is an inspiration to me.
A couple of years ago, I even blogged about why I thought Bill was the best multimedia journalist I’ve ever met.
About a week ago, I got an e-mail from Bill saying that his latest project had just been posted on LJWorld.com.
It’s called “My Cancer, My Story: Kathy’s Long Journey” and it’s classic Snead.
Great writing. Powerful photos. Extremely well-done …
