Are you saying I'll never get Cox family-rich off of journalism? Sad news indeed. If only I'd have been able to pass that early-80's programming class...
Guess they didn't have the Saporta Report out cheerleading for 'em. That takes money.
"Wacky doo"? That some kinda Alabama-speak for "batsh*t crazy"?
@The Last Democrat in Georgia This is so wonky it could have been written by Chris Huttman. Except that it's rather concise and mildly enlightening.
"A peace treaty in the Ga. Senate leadership." Hmmmm, I never got the impression that the grand rift was over far right issues, as they seemed perfectly happy with far right ideology and ideologues, at least up until Better Georgia started haunting the legislature with their electronic gear. I always thought Cagle was marginalized for, er, shall we say, "other things."
"Disclosure: Chris Schroder’s PR firm provides consulting services to the communications staff of the Georgia Trust." Well, I suppose some would call that "progress." But I sure hope you don't ever call it "new journalism." It is not.
Not sure if I can take yet another flat Keira Knightley performance, but I will no doubt suffer through this one too. It hasn't opened in Atlanta yet, right?
Oh please. You'd never have written this justification (ye olde Jeff Dickerson method of none to little disclosure of blatant client-shilling) if Mike Hassinger hadn't outted your MARTA invoice on Peach Pundit.
Hashtags are cute. Very useful even. Especially for gauging "buzz." Love 'em longtime myself. However, no one has yet to EVER prove or show that they (Gen-Y users of hashtags and social media shares and such) send a Tweet then march (bike) right to the polls. No, they sit around and stare into screens and slouch in a nonchalant manner over at Octane, mostly. But oh how I wish at least a tiny fraction of the large (now mostly failed, according to Saporta) marketing campaign could have gone to poll on whether Gen-Y lovers/users of social media have ever even once gotten up and gone to vote for something so macro, so local, so something other than Obama for POTUS in '08.
So what you're saying here is... the old-school Chamber types can't do marketing in the Age of the Internets. Knowing how to power on a laptop might have helped. But as you say, too late now.
#4's great! I too love to just make stuff up with great gusto and glee.
"Wireside chats"?! WTF century are these people living in who came up with THAT? Telephones?! Are they land line-only so the senior citizens (voters) can actually hear something on the other end? All 20 people left in the metro area with land lines.
In the age of the Internet... this is hilarious!
'Or maybe “Uncle’s Trust Fund!”' Yes, eventually, inevitably, the money becomes the far more interesting, er, component.
Glad to see my pupils picking up the, uh, smart phones. I have taught them all well. On to the next big comm toy!
I already have one box. Hardly need another.
There are so many scary statements in this post I don't know where to start.
Such as:
*Nine food and drink contracts have been bundled into one piece of legislation*
*There was no mention of notifying the public about these meetings.*
Etc.
Luckily we have Mr. Cardinale over at APN to ride herd on Open Records/Meeting issues for us. Others shall follow his journo lead.... one can hope.
And what about District 9, Felicia Moore's current district? District 9 sits smack dab in the middle of the burgeoning school re-districting brew ha-ha.
As if we don't have enough issues to grapple with in 2012. I already need my smelling salts.
