  1. Back from a month in southern Africa. What a wonderful place? Great people, fantastic wildlife viewing, and sun, sun, sun. Back to work!
  2. Taking a little R & R, folks. Back in a few weeks. I think Milhous Van Houten said it best: "Stay cool. See you in the car."
  3. Following #tfon as the Future of News event unfolds in Minneapolis. Anon donor puts up $5m to help MPR expand-good sign.
  4. Will be watching this meeting in Minneapolis closely: http://thefutureofnews.ning.com/ CPB board meets there the next day. Hmm.
  5. To paraphrase Han Solo, I had a bad feeling about these reality shows. Now I know why: http://tinyurl.com/ybyuk2j.
  6. Attended 1st live taping of Marketplace Money with Tess Vigeland in PDX last night. Great show about kids & $. Listen Fri 8 pm on OPB.
  7. Back at #wsprpdx. Listening to latest legal take on TV Ch. 6 vs. FM radio interference issue. Relevant here in Portland.
  8. Forrester: surprised The Oregonian didn't come to OPB to partner (M: to be fair, they sort of did, but thru oregonlive.com) #wsprpdx

  11. Mark Fuerst at #WSPRPDX: TRAC Media has suggested changing our metrics across the board to weekly for better comparisons.
  12. Schiller at #WSPRPDX: Not shifting focus to new media at the expense of radio. Actually putting more resources into radio programs.
  13. Changing hashtag for Western States Public Radio in Portland to #WSPRPDX. Sorry to confuse folks using #WSPR!
  14. Schiller at #WSPR: Power of radio ultimately not disruptible, our programs transfer well to other media (unlike newspaper content).

  17. Schiller at WSPR: The Internet is not the worst thing to happen to the news business. It opens lots of new opportunities, engagement.
  18. At the Western States Public Radio meeting in Portland. NPR chief Vivian Schiller debunking myths: Journalism not in crisis, just some cos.
  19. Tweets too short for you? Nice Joel Achenbach piece on storytelling: http://bit.ly/AJnOq It's like "slow food." Mmmmmm.
  20. Alex, I'll take Unheralded Old Media Battles for $100: Newspapers vs. Radio http://tinyurl.com/yf3je22
