A Twitter-charged lunch

Last Wednesday, as Roger and myself arrived at a restaurant in Monterrey Mexico for a lunch meeting, news broke about a hijacked Aeromexico plane at Mexico City’s airport.

By the time we started our lunch with Ramón Alberto Garza, founder and CEO of IndigoMedia (and certainly one of the most proficent journalists in México), news coverage was taking over radio stations, and text alerts and phone calls from friends were rapidly becoming the conduit of news updates.

No Nav is a good thing

How often do you use the nav bar? I’ve been to countless site redesign meetings where the least visited parts of the site are section fronts. And how do you get to a section front? The nav bar. Which, I believe, has seen better days. The best example of this is Gawker media sites. You won’t find any traditional navigation at www.gawker.com. You won’t find a nav bar! What you’ll find is stuff to read –quick reads, that link to longer reads. If your interested in more, look for the topic navigation at the bottom of each article. Topic navigation is where it’s at.

A tale of two cities

As reported in the NY Times on Monday, Boston is dealing with the threatened loss of the Globe by searching its collective soul and wondering what the closure would say about its city. “Boston’s not a podunk town,” the article quoted one resident saying. “It’s got to have a good paper.”

Blank verse

 NY1 viewers too busy, or lazy, to peruse the local papers have been able to rely on Pat Kiernan's segment In the Papers to do the job for them: every morning, the affable anchor spends a few moments looking th

Beckistan: The Anti-Cool

Lost in the New York Times profile of rising Fox News star Glenn Beck is any mention of his out-there (in every sense) bio. Sure, Beck (who was a best-selling author and popular talk radio star before Fox lured him away from HLN) cries about how much he loves America and worries about what will happen when Marxism-under-Obama begins and FEMA opens its concentration camps.  But did you know that he is also a recovering alcoholic? The kind that won’t shut up?

Turning of the Times

Obama’s press conference last night may have marked the end of the mainstream media’s love affair with our new president -- though as the man himself said, when asked about the nation’s pride in electing its first African-American to the top job, “That lasted about a day.” Could it have had something to do with the fact that Obama bypassed the

Pay to play

 In a column in Monday's New York Times,  David Carr became the latest media watcher to suggest that newspapers start charging for their content online. After citing some fallen papers (Rocky Mountain News) and some that are teetering on the edge (San Francisco Chronicle), Carr said some other ostriches could still save their necks by making people pay.
