Goofy #juggling at #UNL, yo!

[beaupoehlman]

I DID IT! This year I resolved to learn and document 12 new tricks and combos - one for each month - and so here is December's #juggling #trickofthemonth! It's an upside-down box, by far the most difficult trick I learned this year. Thanks for watching and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Merry Catmas to all...

Broadcast Writing Post 12

The New York Times has launched a new, Web-only documentary video series that looks at history in the context of the present.

It's difficult for an up-to-date news outlet like The New York Times to deliver content based on past moments in history. However, the paper might serve fresh audiences with its new online-only documentary series. 

The New York Times proves that timeliness for features isn't as important when on the internet. Physical newspapers and live radio and television newscasts don't often allow for coverage of past events, as news outlets must stay as current as possible to remain financially competitive.

These new documentaries not only shed light on history, but are also written to show certain historical moments within the context of today. The New York Times is presenting history in a new way that seems relatable to our current lives in an approach that will appeal to historians as well as news buffs.

Nearly half of viewers say that social editions of episodes that show tweets on-air added to their enjoyment of the show

The type of social media engagement employed by the Bravo network is something we haven't seen too often. On re-runs of particular programs, tweets of viewers created during the episode's original run are displayed for all viewers of the re-run to see.

I'm guessing the organizers of these "social editions" communicate with the producers of the respective shows. If I were a Bravo producer, I would want to figure out how displaying viewers' tweets would not interfere with the show's presentation value. If displayed at an inappropriate time, a tweet could cause a distraction from the focus of a scene. 

I understand the joy in tweeting about a fresh Top Chef episode and hoping it's shown to hundreds of thousands of viewers on a subsequent re-run; on the whole, however, unlike most of the Bravo viewers surveyed, I would not enjoy being distracted by tweets on television programs.
