Althought I call this cafe "my happy place" in Baltimore, I have yet to attend their open mic nights. The host is Acaccia Spears, singer and songwriter. Hopefully I'll get a chance to chat with her after the show. See if I do in tomorrow's post!

The Blog is getting a makeover! Originally, I founded this blog to focus on my personal publishing endeavors and to maybe explore big news events in publishing.

Adele's 19

Okay, so I'm a bit late in purchasing this album, but I received a Target gift card from my Secret Santa at work and thought that I should buy the album instead of just listening to it on Rhapsody. I think Adele has a gorgeous voice. She's able to write songs that speak to how real women actually feel when going through the stages of love, relationships, etc without all the bells and whistles of

Numbers stories can be a bit boring if presented as research papers, and they are difficult to report. They require more research resources, and are usually reported by reporters who cost top dollar. For newspapers, and other print news sources, compromising quality due to cost

Audience perception and media biasBeing an active and donating listener of my local NPR news station, 88.1 WYPR-FM, I thought it would be interesting to see what NPR had to say about the media coverage of the presidential campaign. In many media course people discuss the role of the audience. Surprisingly, NPR put much of the bias accusations on the shoulders of the audience. In the two podcasts

Iran "put a monkey in space"

2009-02-03T08:45:00.005-05:00

Okay,So I'm listening to my local NPR news station, WYPR 88.1 Baltimore, and I hear that Iran has launched its first satellite, OMID, which means hope in English (read about it here). As NPR reports, "The long-range ballistic technology used to put satellites into orbit can also be used for launching warheads, although Iran says it has no plans to do so." But really, would Iran tell us if they
