If It Falls, It (Never) Leads (Unless It Bleeds Too)
"The other canard is that bloggers don't report. It's true that a lot of bloggers just point at MSM (mainstream media) stories. But just this morning I did actual reporting for my local journalism website. A phone pole fell on a house. I went, I took pictures, I talked to the neighbors. Real reporting does happen outside of the newsroom." [Lisa Williams via Buzzmachine: comments]

what if bloggers are only as cool as those ham radio operators that used to phone in weather reports to talk radio stations when i was a kid? that can't be good.
That's exactly as cool as bloggers are. Thank God I'm not one.
Ha ha ha!
Say it loud, I'm a ham and I'm proud!
"Attention, New York Media! Out here in California, besides the Michael Jackson story, another big news event occurred for me and the other residents of my Los Angeles apartment building. The landlord finally put up screens on our terraces so the dirty pigeons don't take a crap all over our patio chairs anymore. Not only was I a witness to the installation, but I have photos that I will sell for a reasonable price"
Neil, that's exactly the kinda of story us East Coasters want to know about and it's a good step in starting the "conversation" between CitJo's. Please share everything you got. Give YM the exclusive!!
Is it OK to mention ham on a Jewish man's website?
