A little piece by me for Management Today on the hot topic of introversion and extroverts. Do introverts get a raw deal? Is society, and business in particular, losing out by pandering to the noisier element in society? Actually, it’s more complicated than that. My piece is called Listen To The Quiet Ones. Take a look while it’s online.
The third edition of my book Magazine Editing has now been published. Credit is due to Paul Bradshaw, who has been responsible for dragging it into the era of Twitter and print-on-demand.
Doesn't look bad, does it?
Magazine Editing 3, a new edition extensively updated by Paul Bradshaw with lots of new material about electronic publishing, will be published by Routledge in November. Not sure about that “online”, which already sounds a bit dated in the era of the iPad, but it wasn’t up to me.
My johnmorrish.com website was recently attacked by someone who used it to point to a site that offered bogus security software and in fact hosted some kind of malware. Anyway, I found out what was wrong and tried to delete the relevant files.
When I couldn’t do that, I contacted my hosting company, Web-Mania, but got no response. A search on Google suggested that they had gone bust, so I moved to a new provider. It was a painless enough transition, except that the What’s New section of JournoList doesn’t let me add new content any more. And I haven’t the first idea about how to fix it. So I’m just going to leave it as it is for now, even though an awful lot of the content is out of date: I would say the majority of the sites I link to are no longer in operation.
Now in its ninth year, journolist.com has done well to survive, but I suspect its life is drawing peacefully to a close.
By virtue of owning the JournoList.com domain name, I have been granted an insight into American political debate. “JournoList” was the name of an email mailing list for liberal-minded hacks in Washington. Although my site predates that, people doing a Google search for the name have been directed to my site. The result is that I have been receiving a steady trickle of hate-mail intended for those liberals. I have to say that the standard of argument, and literacy, is not high. For example:
you idiots are outed now. shame on you. no wonder main stream media is going under, with political hacks and sycophants like your little club out there. enjoy unemployment.Yes I disagree with your lord god obama, your pathetic democrat party. No, that does not make me a racist. Beat you to it, didn’t I? BTW- I am minority myself, however, I pay taxes, served in the military and work for a living.
ha…..keep it up…….keep exposing yourselves as the low life snake political metrosexual red diaper doper babies that you are
I have been reading some of the so called journalist’s political rants and am appauled by the unsubstanciated viewpoints and lies from both sides of the spectrum. I am neither ribofflicans or dummycrap but I lean more to the right than the left because of the leftist socialistic Nazi stormtrooper additudes. The shameful exhibition of the naacp and the dnc have shown how ignorant, and corrupt the present political administration and the political majority. I have become so ashamed of this government and the so called leaders and the liberalist in academia. The people we trust to instruct our children have become so liberal and totally ignorant about the real world they are beginning to twist, warp, and corrupt history to suit the liberal aganda which is trying all it can to distroy this country, history, and brain wash our children to think as they do as Hitler did with the youth in germany during WWII. They preach about the made up hate and racism that the tea party has not exhibited but has been reported by a racist party that is part of the present administration. The tea party, right, and anyone who speeks openly about the dissatisfaction of the administration have been the target of the liberal bleeding heart baby butchers of the dummycrapic party, the naacp, criminal unions, and the people who support the head baby butcher and his criminal cabinet and administration. They have proven to the people that they are not fit to serve as a representative of the citizens of this country and are falling like flies. We will see in November just how dissatisfied the real citizens of this country are. I feel that if Rush can be attacked by some ignorant left wing liberal socialistic baby butcher then I feel it is only fare that this person be procecuted for hate crimes and fired from her evident liberal media lesbian profession. Her comments show just how despirate the liberals are over the upcomming elections. Her ignorance and incometence shows the effects of the leader she so stupidly follows. Hate. If you want hate, wait until the true citizens of this country organize. Then we will see hate.
There is more, but I think that gives you a flavour of it.
