Crack research and a journalism degree can help you too when you need to write an article for your local paper:"Podcasting, which was developed by Apple in 1994, stands for iPod and broadcasting."
This must have been the real first generation iPod the size of a backpack with swappable floppy's for memory and 10 second podcasts in aif format.
I don't really mean to pick on Ms. Carey, well, maybe a little. I would also think that the Editor also deserves some razzing.
What this article and eventual syndication to a sister Texas newspaper under the same ownership of Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc.(CNHI) highlights is that your tiny corner of the world isn't so tiny anymore. Especially, when it is brought to my attention by a Google alert for subjects I am interested in, like podcasting. Yes, your intended audience maybe local but that doesn't mean the 5000 people in your community are the only ones listening.
Publishing + Syndication + Internet + Filters = One very large conversation.
Maybe someone at CNHI should read the The State of the News Media Report 2007. Pay special attention to the section titled "Newspapers".
