News:

Does Public Relations Equal Propaganda? from Ed Lee:

Ed blogs over at Blogging Me Blogging You, where he talks about social media and marketing. He points out an interesting YouTube video from a group called PR Watch. It's interesting and really well done and asks a lot of interesting questions.

Americans Devoting More Time to Media from VOA News: from the article:

"This year, the average American will spend 3,518 hours (nearly five months) watching TV, surfing the Internet, listening to the radio and reading. That's a prediction from The Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2007. This is the 126th edition of the Statistical Abstract, which is published annually by the U.S. Census Bureau."

I finally had a chance to go to the Boston Media Makers meeting. This was my first time going and I had a lot of fun. According to Steve Garfield who runs the group this meeting's turnout was larger than usual. The group is a great mix of podcasters, filmmakers, bloggers, educators, artists, and developers. It was great to meet everyone and find out what they were doing. For the video I used a song from my new favorite band Above These Cares who are also available on the Podsafe Music Network. This is my first time having to edit a video, but I'm really happy with how this came out.





The first part of the meeting was pretty formal. We all sat around a large table and spoke about what we are doing. After the more formal part of the meeting a few of us made a short movie. We did the film as a way of thanking Sweet Finnish for letting us use their back room for the meetings. This video was definitely a group effort. I did sound, Bre Pettis directed, Christopher Penn and Kristen Crusius acted, David Tames acted and produced, while Steve Garfield consulted.








Don't forget to Digg me on Digg.com's new Podcast section! It is a great way to get the word out about the show.
