Sending you away so you’ll come back later
Well folks, I’m pretty much all blogged out on the whole New Newspapers thing for now. I’ve started to feel like a broken record playing a recording of a broken record where lots of people tell each other why they need to change how they run their businesses.

I’ll have to get back to Africa on my own dime
Looks like I won’t be spending any quality time with Nick Kristof anytime soon. Casey Parks, a j-school grad student at the University of Missouri, won the trip to Africa with the New York Times columnist to report/blog/videoblog for NYT and MTV.

A quick riff on objectivity
I’m not going to go at length about the End of Objectivity, or even the perils of objectivity, although I should get around to posting a little literature review and presentation I wrote on the topic awhile back.
