    A former coworker of mine is a singer/songwriter and adjunct professor at NYU. He wrote a piece recently on how technology has always dictated the logistics of songwriting (how many songs are on an album, how long an intro is, etc.) He now postalizes that streaming music services will soon lead...

    Post Gazette wants trial of boy open to public

    A 11 year old boy killed his father's pregnant fiancee. He was initially charged as an adult but then it was changed to a juvenile. The PG is arguing that the public needs to know how the decision was reached, not just the result of the decision. I understand that the public is very interested...

    Obnoxious Vocabulary

    In a column about Pitt basketball, Post-Gazette columnist Gene Collier wrote the following: Pitt's skittish free-throw shooting and recent habit of putting together somnambulant first halves have its rooters wondering if one problem or the other will eventually derail a promising March. Is it...

    To all our friends in the great white north, I am on a project in Toronto for the next few weeks and I am trying to adjust to all the slightly different spellings up here (centre, cheque, etc.) even though my Canadian clients are too polite to tell me I sound like an American idiot. I need to...

    How do you report on what you haven't seen? (Post-Gazette gets sued)

    Post-Gazette gets sued by a drug company today. It's a pretty boilerplate civil suit story and ends with a comment from the EIC/Publisher: In response to the announcement, Post-Gazette Publisher and Editor-In-Chief John Robinson Block said, "We have not seen the complaint, so we cannot comment...

    Need some Toronto help....

    I'll be up here for the next several weeks on a business trip. I was hoping to watch every Penguins game on the assumption that the NHL in Canada is like the NFL in the U.S. -- i.e. any decent sports bar buys the package that shows every game every night. So I walked into a sports bar that...

    Question for our north of the border friends...

    Is it possible to watch CP24 for more than five minutes without getting a splitting headache? You've got weather, sports, headlines, calendar, traffic cam, financial news, time, date, temp, and then the actual show/ads up in the top left corner. It makes Fox News look bland.

    NBC's Pathetic Praising of China

    I apologize if another thread is covering this but it seemed like it should be separate from the general Olympic thread. In a thread below, there is a discussion of how nice it is to see Sally Jenkins take it to the Chinese a bit. NBC, however, would never say a bad word about China. The...

    What happened to the bus stop thread?

    I thought this was a pretty interesting story with a unique structure - switching between first and third person in what amounted to a straight news story. But after I clicked the link to read it, i couldn't find the thread again. It seems to have disapeared even though it was posted today. So I...

    Good idea... or GREAT idea!
