		<title>McPaper Goes Leaner, Meaner and Mobile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before USA Today became the nation’s largest newspaper, it was called McPaper. The daily’s colorful design and short McNuggets of content begged the comparison to a fast food version of the news.

		<title>The Relentless Pursuit of Mediocrity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Editors have always been task masters. Each exhibits a mixture of ruthless honesty and a genuine, almost childlike curiosity. Both of these—for the journalist answering to his boss—can be particularly exhausting, doubly so given the additional relentlessness of deadlines. Today’s front page is tomorrow’s trash can liner. You are only as good as your last [...]]]></description>

		<title>All News Is Local</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are all citizens of the world. We are or should be interested in and concerned about international events and affairs.

		<title>Haro-ing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Web 2.0 has made journalism a lot more transparent. (Read Monday’s installment of A Fresh, Ferocious Wave about Transparent Journalism.)

		<title>Is Good Enough Good Enough?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A recent interviewee for A Fresh, Ferocious Wave was talking about the need for immediacy and the value of user-generated content. He said that it might not be as polished as in the old days of print media but it would be “good enough” and that “good enough is what we should aim for.” Good [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Are Friends For?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By now you have heard that Angelina Jolie has joined Twitter but has no intention of tweeting.  She just doesn’t want anyone else doing it with her name. Smart reputation management and, assuming for a moment that Angelina is as intelligent as this makes her sound, she has correctly identified the two illusions that social [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bump 2.0: Changing the Way We Do Business?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Imagine a future without business cards. No more fumbling through your purse or wallet searching for that plumber your sister&#8217;s friend recommended. No more exclamations of grief after finding a crumpled up wad of paper in the dryer that was once a potential client&#8217;s calling card. No more having to carry a separate wallet just [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s That Sound?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The safest place to be when the atomic bomb goes off is far enough away that you can say, “What was that?” The safest place to be in the media industry today is far enough away that you don’t know you’re working in the media industry.
