Lately, I’ve been following Notes from a Teacher: Mark on Media. Written by a former journalist turned Kwantlen journalism instructor, it started as a way to share information with his students. But now its mandate has broadened:
The more I read, the more I see that we are in the middle of a significant media revolution, driven by the combination of technology, reader dissatisfaction and the desire of passionate journalists to do something better.
So today the blog also covers the way journalism is changing — everything from the impact of blogs and the Net to local coverage that communicates with, not just to, the community. The writing’s crisp, the commentary’s great, and you’re pretty much guaranteed an intriguing nugget in every post. If you’re a media junkie, get thee hence for a gander.
Thanks. The media is such a diverse thing these days! I am finding it difficult to seperate the junk and the real, still I prefer it to the ever willing Serta partners of the right, Canned West papers.
