Speaker Boehner to Require All Proposed Laws to be Posted Online
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Audio/Video Technology, blogging, Communications, Government & Politics, podcasting, Politics, Social Media, Technology, Workplace on January 5, 2011
Speaker Boehner is getting some much-deserved good press for opening up the legislative process (at least a little) by requiring that all bills be posted online so that citizens can review them in full. Shame on former Speaker Pelosi for handing such an easy PR win to the news guys running things.
The caricature of congress acting slow and backwards on most issues is, in fact, based frequently on reality. I still remember when I worked on Capitol Hill in the 90s and seeing all of the elevators had elevator operators in them—even though the elevators were modern and automatic!
Having proposed legislation online for all to see might not necessarily create better laws, but in a democracy, appearances do count. And making the public feel a part of the process will increase the legitimacy of laws. Additional bonus: the tens of thousands of prying blogger eyes will also help pinpoint glaring loopholes and boondoggles that over-word congressional staffers won’t be able to find.
Huffington Post is Hiring
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, blogging, CEOs/Financial, Communications, Media, podcasting, Social Media, Workplace on January 5, 2011
How bad is the economy for full-time journalists? Well, when a media outfit announces it’s hiring, it now gets a full story in the New York Times Media Decoder section.
As readers of this blog know, there have never been more opportunities in the world for communicators who want to build careers using their communication skills by using social media, but it is harder and harder to get a so-called professional journalism job these days. Good luck to the 10 billion Huffpo applicants—they will need it!

Posted by TJ Walker in advertising, celebrities, Communications, Media, podcasting, Social Media on December 29, 2010
Business Insider compiled a list of all the YouTube stars who make more money than EMS officials. It is a fascinating new media world we live in. Be careful when you see how many views some of these stars get for their videos–it will depress you. The leader had more than 600 million views. Try to keep in mind that the average Youtube video only receives 3 views.
Top Political Videos of the Year
Posted by TJ Walker in Communications, Crisis Communications, Government & Politics, Media, podcasting, Social Media on December 26, 2010
Politico lists the top political YouTube moments of 2010. Take a look. My favorite was #4, the Phil Davison video, a speech that is so phenomenally awful that it is a masterpiece that I believe will be studied and mocked for decades to come. Watch it again above.

Why Perez Hilton TV is the Future of Television
Posted by TJ Walker in Communications, Media, podcasting, Social Media, Technology on December 20, 2010
Take a look at a recent episode of Perez Hilton TV. Whether you care about celebrities and Hollywood Gossip is irrelevant. The key thing is that he has a tiny studio, a simple two camera shoot, a minimum of editing, a simple graphic backdrop and a one guest, one-host format. And he is leveraging his existing traffic from his blog consisting of text and pictures to his newer medium of video. This is the future, regardless of your industry or niche.

FCC proposes a new licensing test for Radio and TV stations
Posted by TJ Walker in advertising, Analysis, Audio/Video Technology, CEOs/Financial, Crisis Communications, podcasting, Workplace on December 3, 2010
The FCC is considering a new requirement increasing the public service programming for TV and radio stations. While I can sympathize with the commission for trying to make life better for kids and parents, I question whether this is the smart thing to do. After all, it’s not 1970 anymore. People have more than 3 stations to send their eyeballs. If kids or parents want to find quality programming these days, it is everywhere. If they want to watch junk, that’s everywhere too. It made since to saddle TV and radio stations with requirements like this in the 70s when they were cash cows and had near monopolies on audiences. They no longer have either. More at the New York Times.

As a big shot at NBC for years, Conan O’Brien never had to dirty his hands with this whole Internet thing.

Conan and his team have actually become masters at using clever, interactive videos to engage and grown his audience and fan base. Watch here to see his hilarious Show Zero. It’s low budget, low-production but still funny and has lessons for all of us who make Internet video.

Watch them here at CBS. The striking thing, or perhaps not really, all the videos ar pro-conservative and pro-Republican. The Democrats can’t claim this is the function of ad spending bank-rolled by Lobbyists or Dick Cheney’s Halliburton either. The conservatives have been superior communicators in every forum this year, and YouTube has been no exception.
