The Vikings Prayer
Our Favre-ther who art in Mississippi hallowed be thy name. Thy bowl will come, it will be won, in Miami as it is in the Dome. Give us this Sunday, our weekly win. Give us touchdown passes, but do not let others pass against us. Lead us not into frustration, but deliver us to the Super Bowl. For thine is the MVP, the best of the NFC, and the glory of the Purple People Eaters now and forever, Amen.

doughamlin asked: How's New York going? Are you happy you decided on graduate school? I thought about it but in the end I just didn't have enough faith in a school to teach me journalism. Actually I didn't have enough faith in journalism to be a fulfilling future for me. Now I'm a flack. But I'm sure you weighed all that before diving in. Was it the right choice?

The LATimes is creating a new section called LATExtra for late breaking news. Which begs the question: How new will the breaking news be? It seems it will still be quite old by the time it is on the stands. No?

We’re very open to partnerships and always talk with those that get in touch....

Not waiting for the reader, customer to come to... →
I was reading this post about retailers using social media to reach our to customers and it reminded me of how journalism has transformed from waiting for the audience to come to the content to reaching out to the audience directly and bringing the content to them. “If the news is important enough, it will find me.” This is something that is happening in retail and other industries...
