Digidave Does the News #1: Chi Town Daily News Closes
Digidave’s first attempt at just talking about the news in front of a camerae instead of spending all that time writing a blog post. This rant is on the ChiTownDaily News shutting down. Details can be found: “Confessions of an Ex-ChiTownDaily Staffer,” how the story broke, statement from ChiTownDaily and the Tribune’s coverage.
This is also my first attempt at doing a video blog post instead of a text blog post. Let me know what you think.
For the Pontificators

Ana Marie Cox on the Future of Journalism
As part of a Nation Magazine series on the shape of journalism in the years to come, Air America’s Ana Marie Cox sounds off on what she thinks journalism and the media will look like in 5-10 years. Also interesting to hear her idea about how politico works and that reporters might work directly for politicians. I am a fan of Ana Marie Cox for the crowfunding she did while on the campaign trail after Radar Magazine shut down. Very Spot.Us!
