MediaShift-Blog by Marc Glaser
Marc Glaser startet sein blog: MediaShift
I have danced around becoming a blogger myself. I’ve written some email newsletters that had blog-like tendencies, with a personal tone, commentary and links to other media sources. When I wrote a column for the USC Annenberg School’s Online Journalism Review, the column started its life as a blog-like stream of consciousness with no original reporting — that is, I didn’t interview people but relied on other news stories for my commentary. That changed, and I was soon doing in-depth reporting about — you guessed it — blogs.
I was on Air America, the liberal radio network, as a blog expert, when the host Marty Kaplan sucker-punched me on air: “You write and talk about blogs all the time, so why don’t you actually blog?” Well… The truth was that I knew that a blog would take over my life, requiring care and feeding more than the highest maintenance pet. And if it wasn’t screaming out to me for more content, then the Comments section, where readers respond to each blog posting, would be brimming with controversy that I couldn’t ignore.
But now, finally, in 2006, I am ready to turn my life over to the blog.
