“On TV, stories and events are finalized in 30 or 60 minutes, or neatly tied up after a season or two. The best stories are the ones that force us to come to our own conclusions and to explain why we believe in our conclusions.” BelieveTwoStoriesForceMinutesEventsTvsSeasonsConclusionTiedTied Up Author:Lurlene McDaniel
“Looking back on the event, I find myself thinking there are three approaches to journalism represented here. One is the "cool" approach of traditional journalism, including network broadcasting in which NPR is no exception. One is the "hot" approach of talk radio, which has since expanded to TV sports networks and now Fox TV. The third is the engaged approach of weblogging.” ThinkingFunnyThreeSportsEventsTvsApproachThirdsHotIncludingRadioTraditionalJournalismEngagedThoughtfulExceptionLooking BackFoxesBloggingBroadcastingTalk RadioNpr Author:David "Doc" Searls

“Dutch beaches were known to me as man-made territories, as part of various land reclamation projects. But I was also interested in the media reality of the Moon landing. I wanted to use that event as a measure of time, to see what had happened in those thirty years - which happens to be my lifetime as well. I was born in 1967 and I remember seeing the Moon landing on TV when I was two. All those things were in play. Then it became a big production. It took five months to gather up the goodwill and make it happen.” MenYearsWellsMadeTwoPlayUseBigsRealityHappensWantedRememberBornKnownFiveSeeingHappenedLandMediaEventsTvsMonthsMoonProjectsLifetimeProductionsVariousBeachThirtyTerritoryMake It HappenGoodwillThirty YearsLandingDutchMoon LandingReclamation Author:Aleksandra Mir
