I do not have kindle or nook, but did open the pdf file. Am i correct to assume that the links do not work in pdf? And if not, can I purchase an online version of the book that would allow me to follow the links? Thanks, and thanks for undertaking such an important project. jm Wonderful subject matter and utterly essential for paddling through all the crap.

Murray Sun, 11 Apr 2010 14:04:22 +0000 http://mediactive.com/?page_id=193#comment-1812 As a Latin and Greek scholar, I hate that word "mediactive". It seems as though it is missing a syllable. OTOH, "mediaactive" would be even worse, although it would sound right. There ought to be some other stem that could be combined with "media-" to yield a really kewl new word, a coinage that would live through the ages. - Just my casual thoughts here...

But no business hands itself so many as journalism, which tells you something about the fundamental insecurity inside the craft... Nothing wrong with mentioning that you’ve won awards.

I want to read every chapter. Right now, I'm under contract to write a traditional book. You know, the kind with pages. But it is only sort of traditional. The characters will have cameo appearances on the book website as we near publication. The website will also have footage of me actually reporting the book. And I've been doing a lot of sound recording. I've been struggling with how to create and maintain my web presence AS I write, because I am bound by a traditional book contract NOT to divulge the contents of the book before it comes out. So I can only blog about very general topics in the book until we near publication date. I call the blog White Woman in the Barrio and it is very narrowly targeted to the book topic. People tell me I don't pimp myself and my career accolades enough in the website. I wonder if a journalist's awards and past glories are all that interesting? What do you think?
