I’m beginning to become somewhat of a media junky. By that
I mean I’ve added a couple of journalism related blogs to my
morning journey through cyberspace. Yesterday I came across
the blog of Terry
Heaton
, He has a series of essays
about postmodern journalism and what are the implications for
change.

Here’s just one snippet:

Postmodernism doesn’t make sense. Its roots are buried
in chaos and chance. Taking a page from MTV’s playbook and
inserting it into CNN’s is like trying to mate a lion with
a sheep in order to produce a more gentle lion. Excitement
and anticipation? Oh sure, but ultimately the lion just
ends up with a tasty meal.

Thanks to Ian Lind for the link.

Busy day today so I gotta go. Have a good
one.
