It was founded in 1845 by George Wilkes, a journalist and sometime transcontinental railroad booster.[1] The editor for most of the 19th century was Richard K. Fox, an immigrant from Ireland. Ostensibly devoted to matters of interest to the police, it was more often a tabloid-like publication, with lurid coverage of murders, Wild West outlaws, and sport. It was well known for its engravings and photographs of scantily clad strippers, burlesque dancers, and prostitutes, often skirting on the edge of what was legally considered obscenity. The National Police Gazette enjoyed considerable popularity in the late 19th century and early decades of the 20th century; but its popularity decreased during the Great Depression. [1] It continued publishing until 1982. [2] Musician Dan Hicks has claimed that he derived inspiration for some of his witty, satiric lyrics by stories he had read in The Police Gazette. The website, www.policegazette.us[3], mimics the Police Gazette style in coverage of current events and contains some archival materials from the original publication that give a

Audiences are skipping TV spots with their DVRs and learning how to ignore ads on the web. Instead, they're talking (bluntly) about products and brands on Twitter, chatting about them on Facebook and searching for the reviews and opinions of other customers on Google before they buy. Armed with free, easy-to-use tools that allow them to ask trusted friends what they think or give an unsolicited opinion to hundreds in an instant - it's word of mouth on fire. The truth is, as people are increasingly empowered by social media, marketers are losing control. In a lot of ways these trends are great news for the world because more customers are getting the real story and finding out from each other which products and services have real value, and which ones don't. But where does this leave the people who've build honest businesses being experts in push strategies that used to work? A lot of them are scratching their heads wondering "How the hell are we going to make money now?"

Die? Thrive? Are You Conflicted On What You Want from Old Media? If you're one of the millions who saw the Daily Show last week, you probably saw a clip where Jason Jones took apart the New York Times, asking a staffer to find any news that happened "today". The paper, exemplifying the "yesterday's news" mentality that has a rapidly-increasing chasm between it and today's real-time world, is bleeding red ink as news consumers turn elsewhere for their updates - including many of us to the Web and to blogs. But over the weekend, as the situation in Iran unfolded, and old media, including CNN, was famously slow to respond, there were practically digital pitchforks out - highlighting what was characterized as a massive failure, compared to the personal 1-1 immediate reports we got from Twitter and elsewhere.

« US Media Goes Global | Main August 8, 2008 Business Up North I was interviewed on Tuesday by Amanda Lang, anchor woman for the Squeeze Play show on Business News Network in Canada. The segment will air tonight and will be posted on Monday on the BNN web site. Here is what I learned about the network in the course of my pre-interview make-up session (must admit it is fun asking journalists a few questions about their employers, even while the pancake and eye-liner is being applied): 1) CTV, the largest network in Canada, began Business News Network in 1999 to compete with CNBC. It was initially a joint venture with CNN, now completely owned by CTV. At present BNN's ratings in Canada average about 20,000 viewers during the day and 40,000 viewers during prime time. Most of the major financial institutions will have both BNN and CNBC playing on the trading floor.

Scripting News: 1/24/2009 Guy Kawasaki, American venture capitalist and ... Image via Wikipedia To Be Or not To Be With Gusto : an individual or special taste enthusiastic and vigorous enjoyment or appreciation vitality marked by an abundance of vigor and enthusiasm. I find a few people that I follow have " Gusto !" Guy Kawasaki Fred Wilson Gothan Gal Frank Eliason Chris Brogan Seth Godin Louis Gray. Steve Rubel There was a book written a few years ago called the Talmud ! Among other things it stated We don't see things as they are we see things as we are ! [Talmud ] In my reads I find Dave Winer in the top slot as King Of Content Creation with Gusto ! I personally have only talked with Chris Brogan so I have to view the others as I read them ! For years I have been a student of General Semantics : Advocates of General Semantics view it as a form of mental hygiene that enables practitioners to avoid ideational traps built into natural language and "common sense" assumptions, thereby enabling practitioners to think more clearly and effectively. General Semantics thus shares some concerns with psychology but some do not consider it specifically as a therapeutic system, evaluating it as more focused on enhancing the abilities of normal individuals than curing pathology. This post What made the Mac different Saturday, January 24, 2009 by Dave Winer. Is a great read and is a nice complement to Guy Kawasaki ! The people who I have mentioned above will be the driving force behind what many have called Social Media ! At 72 years old I was brought up on the old media and am afraid it is as dead As Custer ! I watch with saddness as it shuffes off the mortal coil ! Mortal coil is a poetic term that means the troubles of daily life and the strife and suffering of the world. It is used in the sense of a burden to be carried or abandoned, most famously in the phrase "shuffle[d] off this mortal coil" from Shakespeare's Hamlet. I once comm

I found this article published in March excellent relative content-No Gotchas's Ed Batista: Social Network Tools From AlertThingy to Zemanta. "One year after my last review of some social media tools and networks, here's the 2009 version. Included are: - UPDATES on the services I reviewed last year and how I've integrated them into my work (or not) as an executive coach and consultant: Tumblr, Twitter, Utterli and (on the lighter side) Don't Break the Chain.

May 29, 2009 The Graduates I am in the midst of graduation sensation, with my eldest to receive her college diploma next Thursday and my middle child having earned her high school diploma just a week ago. We entertained thirteen college students at our home last weekend; I could now write a new script for "Survivor; The Parents" based on that experience. I am very pleased that my college graduate will begin her career at Edelman Chicago in the fall; Generation Three begins! Given the terrible job market for college and professional school graduates, I thought it appropriate to offer some advice on how to approach the employment search in PR. First, consider working initially as an intern. Most of our offices are utilizing summer interns. Some of these jobs will become full time in the fall, given normal employee turnover. We have the interns do real work, from preparing press lists to writing press materials. Second, digital is your fastest way in the door and to the top. All PR firms are rapidly adapting their core offerings, as the game shifts away from sole reliance on media relations. Show us how you're blogging, tweeting, utilizing video, participating with communities, advancing issues. If you can demonstrate how you can advise on social media, then you have immediate value. We operate a facebook site solely for potential interns, and a twitter, facebook, widget and a LinkedIn site for all pros so they can participate with the Edelman community.
