ASK ME ANYTHING.

tCN: Skype Edition - Doreen Marchionni

Many of you might know that when I was at Oklahoma State University, I had a wide variety of majors. One of the earliest in the list was Journalism/Broadcasting.

I absolutely loved my radio production class. In fact, it may very well have been may favorite class in all of college. But, the reporting classes left me feeling like I was having my toenails pulled out. There’s something about journalistic writing that just wasn’t for me. I’m more of a storyteller than a fact verifier. So, after a year in that major, I moved on to other things.

Doreen Marchionni of Sasquatch Media Consulting is championing a new aspect of journalism that I would have been all over if I were a student now.

Journalism As Conversation is a fascinating blend of traditional journalism with the collaborative voice of citizen journalism. Doreen and I spend a few minutes talking about the journalistic world as she sees it and where that is going to fit in with the collaborative nature of today’s online society.

Heady stuff. But, as you’ll see, fascinating stuff as well.

the MARTINI SHAKER IS DEAD. LONG LIVE the ROCKS GLASS.

the ROCKS GLASS is one of those fancy-schmancy Tumblr sites that happens to be curated by Kansas City-based creative generalist Jeremy Fuksa.

“Creative generalist” sounds like an aggrandized term. It is. But, it rolls off the tongue much easier than Designer, Developer, Writer, Broadcaster, Filmmaker, Speaker, Musician, Photographer and Attention Whore. Plus, it looks way cooler on a business card.
