Although, I always hate to see any one lose their job and I appreciate the work that Adam did here at WKRN. I have to say that if his departure saves the job of just one employee that actually does tv work then it was worth it to me. This is a tv station not a blog station. I saw a lot of tv employees lose their jobs while Internet people remained. Before Adam was let go we had 3 Internet people and only 4 directors. For a TV station that is just not smart. Blogs are a luxury for a tv station not a necessity and this station can’t afford any luxuries.
While I can totally see why this employee would feel this way, it is evident that they are completely unaware of how the internet is changing their profession in radical ways that cannot be ignored. People with this mentality will either catch on or get swept away in the new media tide.
I went to Carmel this weekend. I wrote about it on Twitter. Truth be told, Twitter now serves as a microblogging platform for me, whether I want to admit to it or not. If you like S&21, and aren’t following me on Twitter, it’s safe to say you are missing out. You can even subscribe to my Twitter feed.
I’m slowly oscillating between really sad and really pissed off. Nashville — hell, all of Tennessee — just suffered a great loss. WKRN fired the only blogger left on their premises. They shitcanned the best blogger in the state; the best by a wide margin.
What a fucking shame. I’m in tears.
Adam, you are a scholar and gentleman. I do not worry for you. Your future holds many more scoops and successes. Hold your head high, sir. You are irreplaceable.
These songs were served up to me this morning on my commute to work. I made notes and then created this playlist to share with you. Also, imeem is fun as fuck to use, so that is part of why I did this.
In linguistic terms, “bling” is an ideophone (a sound intended to evoke an idea)—it is not onomatopoeia, because the act of jewelry shining does not make a sound. The form “bling-bling” is a case of reduplication.
