“A Morning Coffee Notes for broadcast on KYOU in San Francisco. Notes about blogs and podcasts, the origins of podcasting, how it relates to professional reporting.”
Dave’s thoughts on the differences between traditional journalism and blogging/podcasting. He discusses how bloggers and podcasters can provide a more personal and unfiltered perspective compared to mainstream media, which often tries to appear objective but ends up being narrow in its coverage and political leanings. Dave’s argues that transparency about one’s biases and beliefs is more important than strict objectivity, as it allows the audience to better understand the context and interpret the information. He also touches on his experience covering the 2004 Democratic National Convention as a blogger, and the criticism he faced for not sounding like traditional journalists. Overall, he advocates for a more diverse and authentic media landscape enabled by new technologies like podcasting.
