I believe that the audio medium is still really powerful. I think it’s because of how intimate it can feel. I believe there’s really something to be said for this and that you might find some great success in considering an audio show. For one, they’re a lot easier to produce. For another, they are a medium that can be consumed in a lot more ways and places than your typical video show. Also, I believe that people who might not feel confident enough to do video feel just fine in audio, and thus, we get to hear from a more diverse collection of voices.

This article is a couple months old but I’m just now seeing it.

This is the perfect way for journalists to cover breaking stories and be able to offer more than a tweet’s worth of context and analysis.

With streaming audio becoming the norm on mobile devices, there’s no reason why print journalism shouldn’t expand into audio to rope in those of us who are always on the go.

Great news for independent media!

motherjones:

A few hours after serving President Obama breakfast, supporter Josephine “Ann” Harris, the owner of Ann’s Place restaurant in Akron, Ohio, died suddenly this morning.

The president has already offered his condolences to Harris’ family. But Tucker Carlson’s conservative “news” site, the Daily Caller, chose to observe her passing with this tweet.

We shan’t be providing a link to the Daily Caller piece. And we hope Carlson’s editorial staff will show some remorse for this tweet.

I stopped reading anything by The Daily Caller months ago. With good reason. And yet here I am giving them the exact publicity they were hoping for with this tweet.

Amen.
