Informative and educational. One of the things I found interesting -- and that I didn't know -- was that several media organizations sometimes deploy two teams to cover events -- one to get information up to the web quickly, and another that has some more time to do in-depth reporting and analysis. The challenge for the media will continue be how to best serve both masters: the one that wants information NOW and the other that demands thoughtful reporting. The On the Media podcast recently had a segment looking at these challenges during coverage of the presidential primaries. Looking forward to more intelligent interviews on Media Bullseye, Sarah. Well done here. Sarah, really outstanding interview with Professor Roberts. Informative and educational.

While it may be the case that short-form text applications hamper the writing skills of students and new professionals, I find that long-form writing, like blogging, has developed my skills. This, in conjunction with apps like Twitter, has--I hope--improved my long and my short-form styles. We'll see when it comes time to get a job...

Nothing unusual about that so far - but we're discussing an interview I gave to Anita Brikman and WUSA tv about how technology spreads community and the viral nature of the frozen pea fund <a href="http://frozenpeafund.com" rel="nofollow">http://frozenpeafund.com</a> that grew up organically around my cancer diagnosis. To demonstrate the advantages I don't just tout Jim Long of NBC and Verge New Media, and Jeff Pulver of former Vonage fame but also the smaller players like my twitter contacts who use web 2.0 and beyond to keep up with things that are important to us and individually and in community such as the Social Media Breakfast planned for February in DC. It's long been my contention that old media can learn to use new media to their advantage and that it's all when one gets down to it just about relationships. Sounds like Steve Roberts thinks so too.
