Reality Revival
As a twenty-something woman, I cannot help but notice the stellar reality programming that is aimed at my demographic on prime-time channels lately. The Bachelor, The Hills, that one with the celebrity addicts, and isn’t there still the show with Flava Flave trying to find love? I do kinda of like that midget family [...]
Is the Media Really Dying?
My Twitter feed is full of bad news from @themediaisdying, @mediabistro and @woodenhorsepub of publications that are laying of staff and completely shutting down.

The Sound of Music
Lets get one thing straight… I am not a politician, nor am I am musician or anything else that ends with “ician”. I’ve been watching the Democratic National Convention this week, as many people have been doing and there are a few things I have picked up.
First, let me say that Backbone has [...]
Call Me Classy
