My thoughts on “Youth and the News” circa 2006
In early 2006 I was kindly asked by the Canadian Media Research Consortium to give the opening talk at their Youth and the News conference. At the time I was editor at Dose.
My talk went down about as comfortably as an, um… enema with the mostly older crowd of publishers, news directors and other execs (I had some support from the students). Anyway, obviously a heck of a lot has changed in media and technology since April 2006 but it’s fun to look back. I hope you get something out of the slides, even if it’s just a laugh.

ha.. what a surprise to see a shot of my old kitchen in there! out of date, may be. i think this presentation would go off better today with those publishers.. or moreso with marketers to that group…. mostly playing catch up now aren’t they.
Hi Trish. You mean the shot of the guy playing guitar? Is that John? Ha! I guess it must have been one of Dre’s photos :)
BTW – you should come out for a ‘golf’ game with us one day. I promise it’s more fun than it sounds.
And Trish, I love your cupcake! (just read your recommendation and checked out the top 5 cupcakes link).
i don’t think the person playing is jon, but that is his guitar.
i will come golf, i swear!
thanks re the ink… what a pleasant surprise.
