There are all kinds of journalists, so it's too vague to say that all journalists lack in client management and business development. Tell me the name of a journalist who hasn't pushed to meet a deadline? From an editorial standpoint I think the journalists have an edge over PR people because journalists can be more realistic. I have found that PR people tend to pump things up out of proportion at times, not all PR people do this, the good ones are those who are able to meet the deadlines and be realistic about the image they are portraying. I have worked with PR people who are very good at handling editorial issues, such as providing press images. On the other hand, I've dealt with PR people who don't know the difference between a thumbnail and an 8 1/2 x 11. So a good PR person handles the management well, similar to the way a good editor manages a press schedule well. In a sense, PR and Journalism are mirror images of one another because they both require good client management and business development.

i like the idea of being able to send, receive, publish material without having it be sold to a third party without my consent or permission by the service that i used to send my material to an intended party. i think google, apple, facebook are guilty of selling the user's content (emails, documents, chat conversations, text messages, photos) for their own benefit (and to the disadvantage of the user). in addition, the fact that these companies are doing this takes advantage of the user without the user necessarily knowing about it. the consequences to the user can be very damaging, considering that the power of these companies to do this enables them to determine the fate of the user, by selling that information to different sources, whether they are potential employers, politicians, educational institutions, doctors and so on.

in my opinion, people should own the rights to their own material and ideas (emails, photos, attached documents) without having to worry about those things being sold off without the user's consent. tech companies do not have the right to have that kind of power over individuals and their information.

think about the consequences that could result for the user by signing a consent form with a tech company. if a tech company chooses to sell my information, it takes away my rights as a writer, thinker, publisher, business person, and individual. the consequences can either benefit or damage one or all of those things, including my professional life, personal life and relationships.

in my opinion i own the rights to my own material, and if i choose to use a computer, mobile phone, or technical application to communicate my material, then i still own the rights to my own material.

i am inspired every day by the people who are part of the digital media movement. i have been given extraordinary opportunities to be part of architectural and technological publications in new york because the mediabistro network has given me the opportunity to be introduced to them. i visualize an innovative and effective online publishing world in the future that overcomes challenges that the print publication industry is facing today. now there continues to be life, business, and development online. every time i meet a new effective online journalist it adds to the network that i choose to follow and associate with. listening to music associates the information that i read and share online with a higher ideal and online media has made those higher ideals possible.
