Photo: Simón Pais-Thomas I recently sat down with several highly enthusiastic achievers, all of whom have many ambitions. These casual chats revolved around the theme of, “How do I turn my ambitions into reality?” I deeply admired their energy and drive, but it became clear as to why they were not seeing their desired results: Trying to do too much at once. Despite the social illusion that we can have it all, we only have ...

There are no stories in today's top stories. It's all sound bites and lots of effect - punch lines, cutting here and there and everywhere, but rarely that crucial detail that will grab your attention for more than a few moments. The most popular print news ends up being a Metro, or some similar thin collection of captions, titles, and photographs. The news business being in the business of getting the news published and circulated, ...

If you’re not, you should be. Jeremiah Owyang, a senior analyst for Forrester Research and one of the smartest web guys around, has a provocative post on his blog about the honing of one’s personal brand. I’ve been thinking a lot about this myself, because I see the struggle between anchors and reporters who blog and the companies they represent. The media companies want their brands reflected in the work of “their” employees, but it ...

I’m often asked by companies and indiividuals on what they can do to stand out. Here’s what I’ve learned… but don’t just take my word for it, add your own tips in the comments. The problem: There are so many brands now, in fact with the introduction of websites, and blogs in particular, many are developing personal brands, something not as easy to accomplish in past years. With this profileration of brands, it becomes so ...

I think New Orleans is a bit like this photo. She's still a bit out of shape since Katrina. I snagged this photo while in New Orleans during the summer. I am hoping that Gustav doesn't devastate the city, or for that matter, any other place along the fragile Louisiana coastline. It's hard to be 1712 miles away from my city! I love you, New Orleans. With coastal erosion eating hundreds of acres of wetland ...

If the Burlington County Times in 1967 was a typical newspaper, the way news releases got into the paper was simple. Someone opened the mail and gave the news release to someone -- the news editor or an assistant city editor. A really significant news release would be given to a reporter to follow up on and produce a story, but most were simply announcements of promotions, meetings, garden club officers and the like.So the ...

This is the first of a two-part piece which examines how participatory media can help streamline and democratize philanthropy. First we'll look at how collaboritive tools can help draw out the brightest ideas and most capable project leaders. Next we will examine how participatory media can redefine the evaluation process after a project has already been funded by giving the targeted community a greater say in how the initiative has (or has not) had an ...

The biggest problem for newspapers is not falling readerships, it is falling advertising revenue. It is the move from local monopolies to a global platform where competition is everywhere, and advertising less lucrative. For all the talk of how journalists can get a grip on new media, there’s been far too little on how ad sales people can do the same. So here I present ten ways ad sales people (and their managers) can save ...
