I have had the web site http://nikkyraney.com since May of 2010. The site was called the Future of Journalism and it was my blog about journalism and media and such. I thought that in May of 2012 it would automatically renew since that is what happened in May of 2011, but boy was I wrong. […]
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (many quickly forget that she was an elected public official before she went rogue) is certainly not presidential material, but she does get social media (what we used to call new media) and citizen journalism. Regardless of your view of Sarah (and yes, the low-cut boob emphasizing blouse does make […]

The more online media and blogging takes over the less objective journalists seem to be. They seem to be competing with the blogs as well as one another to be the most interesting publication or network. Your Ad Here The most depressing case is Newsweek, which since 2003 had been my favorite magazine. It usually […]
I have been reading Newsweek since 2003 and when Jon Meacham was the Editor it was at its peak. It was doing great – Newsweek was my favorite magazine, but then in 2010 changes were made and The Daily Beast took over. The Daily Beast ruined Newsweek. This is a complete opinion, but it should […]

In an attempt to cloud Shaker’s win of the TechCrunch Disrupt Startup Battlefield, there has been a lot of reporting that TechCrunch Founder Michael Arrington is one of Shaker’s “pending investors” to quote TechCrunch itself. A lot of journalists have made hay with this, most recently a guy named Ben Popper, who tweeted this: benpopper […]
The news is all over that TechCrunch Founder and Editor Michael Arrington may step down from running the blog not just to operate a new venture capital fund, but because the rumor is he was fired from AOL. What’s so weird is to read blog posts and articles that are dancing all over his grave, […]
This is a post that will help lead to the analysis of the way the media portrayed and covered Casey Anthony’s trial.

As you may know, News Corporation boss Rupert Murdoch elected to shut down the 168-year-old News Of The World, the UK’s famous tabloid paper, because of allegations of alleged police bribery and phone hacking, for starters (looks like there’s more news coming). On this, I contacted Hearst Corporation’s Executive Vice President and Editor-At-Large Phil Bronstein […]

It’s perhaps the […]
