Voting machine problems

8/15/2007

Drop everything and watch this stunning Dan Rather report on Voting Machines…. this is what journalism is about and what Mark Cuban’s doing with these long-form, well-researched reports in stunning high-def is really groundbreaking in how old-school it is.

This is the future of journalism: indie media outlets spending the money to do long-form important journalism. This gives me some hope for the press… if I was serious journalist I would be starting brands with folks like Cuban. I mean, Dan Rather could NEVER do this kind of reporting on CBS…. heck, they wouldn’t let Ted Turner do this kind of journalism on CNN after he sold it to TimeWarner.

The only place I can think of doing this level of journalism is maybe PBS or the BBC. Well done Dan and Mark!

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
