Gary’s shared linksSTRATFORD, NJ, USA Check out the reporter who questions Condoleezza Rice 45 seconds into this report: http://www.voanews.com/mediaassets/urdu/2007_12/Video/wmv/Rice%20Reaction-v.wmv It’s half-English, half-Urdu. But it’s only about 2 minutes long, and you might find it interesting. Especially if you know the reporter.

The TV gives my grandmom’s life a familiar routine, which genuinely seems to comfort her, in addition to maintaining her circadian rhythm. [...]

Stratford, NJ, USA In my last post, I talked about how our local NBC affiliate wasted FAR too much time on a story about how one of its own reporters sought revenge on a guy who fondled her panties.

Link du jour: Newshour with Jim Lehrer takes an in-depth look at the Voice of America. I could have thought of a few more issues to raise, and a few more angles too look at some of the issues already presented, but all in all, this is exceptionally well done. (And it’s cool to see [...]

So, the nation’s oldest and largest student-run TV station has been disbanded by the chancellor of Syracuse University (without the hearing guaranteed to it by the Student handbook, I might add) because, apparently, it is genocidal. (Here’s a good video story of what happened. And a fairly crappy one.) I worked at HillTV (then, UUTV) for all [...]

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, USA I’ve always enjoyed “Jeopardy!” but I’ve never been a regular viewer. But after reading so much about Ken Jennings’ unprecedented winning streak, I knew I had to check him out, so all week I’ve been watching (“Jeopardy!” is a great show to watch at a youth hostel, by the way).
