- Recommended reading on bias and journalism
- An opinion piece by Frank Rich on media bias, Fox News and why CNN (and other networks) is getting it’s ass kicked in the ratings. Of particular note: Fox’s feat has since been trivialized by most of its rivals as the inevitable triumph of a partisan channel speaking to its faithful.

- JAWS Camp part III: Day one of the actual camp
- Like I said in the previous post, registration didn’t start until 3 p.m. We (Nadirah and I) got back to the resort around 4-ish. Dinner was at 6, if I’m not mistaken, but before dinner we had a cocktail reception. The reception allows members to meet, mingle, network and renew old friendships.

- Suggested reading: Hilary Schneider Interview, New media in the U. K.
- E&P interviewed Schneider, the head of Knight-Ridder Digital (and ex-Red Herring President and CEO) about her company’s goals for 2004. Of particular interest is Schnieder’s quote about the rise of web logs and self-publishing in mainstream press. As for blogging. I think it’s a fascinating development. We have two blogs on SiliconValley.com: Dan Gillmor’s eJournal and [...] [2 Dec 2003]
