asked questions
If you want to complain about
anonymous sources in journalism, is it okay to quote
"leading experts" in order to bolster your case?
Why does the media always refer to people defending our civil liberties and the Constitution as "activists" or "advocates?" Wouldn't "citizens" do just as well?
Quotes
The truly simple way of presenting
Christianity is to do it. -- Soren
Kierkegaard
Pocket paradigms
The first rule
of media survival is use it; don't let it use you. We must
ignore the role the media has prescribed for us -- audience,
consumer, addict -- and treat it much as the trout treats a
stream, a medium in which to swim and not to drown. The
trick is to stop the media from happening to you and to
treat it literally as a medium -- an environment, a carrier.
Then you can cease being a consumer or a victim and become a
hunter and a gatherer, foraging for signs that are good and
messages that are important and data you can use. Then the
zapper and the mouse become tools and weapons and not
addictions. Then you turn the TV off not because it is evil
but because you have gotten whatever it has to offer and now
must look somewhere else. - Sam Smith

I like your Christ, I do
not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your

Reporters became the first group in human
history to dramatically improve their socio-economic status
simply by writing about themselves, self-casting themselves
among the very elite from whom they had once been expected
to protect their audience. - Sam
