Dave Lifton sent me a link to some nice words from Ted Leonsis about our site redesign.

Dead Trees 2.0

Doc posted this advice to newspapers in a networked world some time ago. I found it pretty insightful.

I'm not sure how much I buy into the idea of "citizen journalism." At our best and in our place, we amateurs certainly have something to offer - but I also believe that there is a need (now more than ever) for journalism with professional skills, standards and ethics.

I would highly recommend The Elements of Journalism: What Newspeople Should Know and the Public Should Expect - a comprehensive look at the traditional values of journalism in our society, and the challenges facing it today.

On The TSA

My boss has some interesting things to say about airport security.

"These people are out of control power hungry fucktards. Fuck you for taking my toiletries, fuck you for your power hungry attitude, fuck you for you inconsistency. If you are really the last line of defense against a terror attack on a plane then we are all truly fucked."

I love Adam.

My advice? Spend some time at McCarran International.
