I heart media, media hearts me.

Up early this morning at 5 with a quiet house, I caught up on some trade reading and came across this quote from the famed media guru Michael Wolff: "TV was the wasteland. Now digital media is the wasteland. There’s nothing there. A deluge of crap. TV has gone in the other direction and produced these things everybody watches and talks about and become important signposts of the culture. So TV is upscale, and digital is downscale media."

Despite your opinion of Mr. Wolff, I agree he's spot on.  But I don't care because I have a broader definition of what I want from media, and the web.  

I consume a lot of media and I like every form of it.  I listen to a lot of radio...and love it.  I watch TV (not a ton), but what I see I love.  I read newspapers and magazines in printed form...yes, I do...and I love it.  I love the web.  They all play a wonderful role in helping me be informed, entertained, and stimulated.

Why am I writing this which is probably being met with a hearty, "SO WHAT?" from you??  Simple. Because it's a new year and I'm going to celebrate all that I value.  Media is in a wonderful spot today and it is only getting better...enjoy it.
