#Journalists are covering the 2024 election as if it were a normal, 20th century contest, which it isn’t; so far it’s is an authoritarian show of force. A warning from Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Will Bunch. #journalism #media #broadcastnews

OMG WHY IS THE NEWS ONLY TRUMP 24/7?

cuz fortune 500 companies that own #Infotainment aka #News DO NOT want Americans to know stuff like how long angry Isrealis have been protesting their right wing nut job supreme court's unprecedented fascist power expansion or TWO presidential candidates have been assassinated in Ecuador e.g. That's why. See movie #BroadcastNews for how #News as quasi public service died in the 80s.

Memories: Sunday, January 15th, 2017: “A pic that I remember well in a family photo album from my childhood. It was taken Sept. 18th, 1973, when we visited Washington DC. The pic is, sadly, just a bit out of focus. In later years, we speculated that the anchor being filmed may have actually been Dan Rather. Who knows? Maybe… It would be cool if this pic actually turned out to be one of him from back in his earlier reporting days.” #OldPhoto #WashingtonDC #BroadcastNews #1970s #FamilyPhotoAlbum

As I become more active here, I'm seeing that I should have done an #introduction post early on. So here it is.

I'm a PhD Professor who once was a #PublicRelations exec, after having been a PIO for the state of #Georgia, a #BroadcastNews journalist, and (early on) a rock radio disc jockey.

Seriously.

Big fan of dark chocolate, cats, fiber arts and baking.
Not fan of #Republicans these days, virulent narcissist billionaires, or brussels sprouts.

Rarely really serious.
