How Jon Snow dissing the PlayStation 4 explains why no one cares you can’t afford a house
Oh, yes, all of this. I’m baffled how things like TV and radio news seem to be written by and for white men over 50. God, that sounds naive now I’ve written it down. Duh. But still. (via @matlock)

Where is the Roger Ebert’s commissioning editor of games? - newsmary

YOU THINK YOU ARE A CONSUMER BUT MAYBE YOU HAVE BEEN CONSUMED
I hope this new series of Adam Curtis posts on fake objectivity and neutrality analyse his own style. Really, that would be fascinating.

On The Network
Derek Powazek chronicling dumbly critical mentions of the internet in the media. If I still listened to the Today programme I bet I’d come up with some. (via Waxy)

11 years old, on the pill and sexually active? The media loses the news again

Television Tropes & Idioms - Home Page
Big wiki cataloging “devices and conventions that a writer can reasonably rely on as being present in the audience members’ minds and expectations”. Big, big time sink.

2.0 Expo 2008: Clay Shirky
Or watch Clay give that “how do they find the time?” talk in person on this video. Worth it; he’s an awesome speaker. (via Daring Fireballl)

Gin, Television, and Social Surplus - Here Comes Everybody
Clay on the answer to “where do they [gamers, Wikipedias, bloggers, etc.] find the time?” By watching less TV. Great stuff.

Donnacha DeLong: The Journalist article
Another dumb NUJ versus the forces of progress article. Established media is authoritative and experienced. Normal people are sometimes inaccurate. Therefore “Web 2.0” is bad. (via Haddock)

The NUJ’s blinkered approach to online : October 2007 : Shane Richmond : Technology : Telegraph Blogs
Brilliant dissection of a dumb article about the effect of new media on the role of journalists’. (via Haddock)
