Some Monday links
Here are some media-related links for your amusement:
1. This blog offers 10 tips to keep your journalism job while your daily paper is being hit with tons of layoffs.
2. Porn star Ron Jeremy says that he would allow his daughter to act in porn as long as she would be a porn star like Jenna Jameson. This revelation is slightly less shocking when you realize he’s talking about his hypothetical daughter, since he doesn’t actually have one.
3. The Columbia Journalism Review on the media’s reaction to the Obama/Wright controversy
4. Michael Arrington, the blogger for the popular site Tech Crunch, argues that blogs should team up to take on big media. I think it’s plausible in some niches, but nearly impossible for stories that significantly drain resources, like war reporting.
5. An interview with a long-time writer for the satirical The Onion.
6. First there were nerdy pick-up lines. Now there are Penguin pick-up lines.
