This is amusing. After reviewing and then publishing on the WORD their Youtube production about the gay rights rally in New York City November 15, Â I told Jonathan Mena & Jacqueline Fernandez that they were doing too much breaking news and that they should focus on more in-depth stuff for their YouTube broacasts (and for their portfolios).
And guess what? New America Media put their production efforts on its front page.*Â This is exciting. I, with several years of journalism experience and two books and tons of related experience, told two student journalists that I thought what they did was good but they could do better and NAM decides what they did was front-page news.
I love it.
And will address “it” in subsequent posts.
