“Hey Baby” and Anti-Male Violence">Hey Baby” and Anti-Male Violence

June 19th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Britain, Business, Conservative Pundits, Culture, Dating, Economics, Education, Europe, Feminism, Israel, Media, Personal, Politics, Sex, The Middle East

Mod­ern, angry women now have an out­let of their own through a vio­lent, anti-male video game that pro­motes the misandry that has become so preva­lent in mod­ern, West­ern cul­ture: Ever had one of those seem­ingly end­less days? All you want to do is to get home… You’re the last one out of the office. Its […]

Birthright Israel: Life Amid Violence

JERUSALEM — Every nation and coun­try has its his­tor­i­cal mem­ory — the lens through which it remem­bers the past, inter­prets the present, and hopes for the future: His­tor­i­cal data is objec­tive; his­tor­i­cal mem­ory is sub­jec­tive. This video enti­tled “I am Israel” does a pretty good job of show­cas­ing Israel’s his­tor­i­cal mem­ory (whether accu­rate or […]

Definition of Journalism: Public Journalism for Online Reporters

June 2nd, 2010 · 2 Comments · Boston, Business, Education, Journalism, Law, Marketing, Massachusetts, Media, Personal, Politics, SEO, Technology, The Middle East

JERUSALEM — Ha’aretz, an Israeli news­pa­per, asks the impor­tant ques­tion of how the Inter­net has changed jour­nal­ism in light of a local con­fer­ence on “Democ­racy and its Chal­lenges”: Hav­ing a lap­top and cell phone with a cam­era built into it doesn’t nec­es­sar­ily make you a jour­nal­ist, the jour­nal­ist and writer Pierre Asselin said on Monday… […]

SEO Killed Headlines">How SEO Killed Headlines

May 21st, 2010 · 2 Comments · Advertising, Boston, Business, Humor, Journalism, Language, Marketing, Media, Personal, SEO, Technology

David Carr writes an insight­ful piece on how keyword-heavy head­lines have destroyed the noble — or at least comedic — art of news­pa­per headline-writing: Head­lines in news­pa­pers and mag­a­zines were once writ­ten with read­ers in mind, to be clever or catchy or evoca­tive. Now head­lines are just there to get the search engines to notice. […]

Birthright Israel: Footage of (Pre-State) Israel

May 13th, 2010 · No Comments · Boston, Britain, Civil Liberties, Culture, Europe, Immigration, Israel, Journalism, Judaism, Massachusetts, Media, Palestine, Politics, Religion, The Middle East, War

Every won­der what Israel and the region of Pales­tine looked like before the Jew­ish state declared inde­pen­dence in 1948? Here is some recently-unearthed footage — in color! — from that time. (Hebrew with Eng­lish sub­ti­tles.) I am com­pletely amazed at how much the coun­try as changed — espe­cially Tel Aviv and the Cen­ter region. The […]

Benefits of Internships

May 8th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Boston, Business, Culture, Education, Journalism, Law, Massachusetts, Media, Personal

In a recent post on teenage work­ers, I won­dered whether the decline in part-time and sum­mer jobs for teens might ham­per their pro­fes­sional devel­op­ment. Now, this news from New York makes me wor­ried for col­lege stu­dents work­ing at intern­ships: With job open­ings scarce for young peo­ple, the num­ber of unpaid intern­ships has climbed in recent […]

From Martin Luther to Facebook

March 31st, 2010 · 1 Comment · Bible, Books, Christianity, Culture, Education, Europe, Globalization, Law, Marketing, Media, Personal, Politics, Religion

So I was check­ing my Face­book recently when I saw this sta­tus update from a friend of mine: okay, the Papal let­ter to Ire­land tears it – I’m offi­cially renounc­ing my Catholi­cism. I can’t vote Bene­dict out of office, so I’m done with his out­moded doc­trines. My friend said later that she was refer­ring to […]

SEO Can Help Your Business">How SEO Can Help Your Business

March 22nd, 2010 · No Comments · Administrative, Advertising, Blogosphere, Books, Boston, Business, Israel, Journalism, Marketing, Massachusetts, Media, Personal, Technology, The Middle East

JERUSALEM — As I noted in my book review of “Inbound Mar­ket­ing,” I founded this blog in 2006 when I was a Boston reporter but did not know about SEO key­words and Inter­net mar­ket­ing until I worked in the Israeli high-tech indus­try: Based on my expe­ri­ence, I learned that con­tent by itself rarely brings significant […]
