I've always been interested in communications, both the content and technical side. While flirting with content, I've have long been focused on the technology, including in my work.
With the growth of newer media, a couple of years ago I was cajoled by a friend into blogging, despite my objections. I didn't think think I had much to say other than 140-character messages on Twitter.
It turns out my friend was right and I was wrong. I do like it, and some others like what I write. I've been looking, off and on, for more guidance in either what I'm doing now or a possible next step, and this book serves that purpose well. It outlines a principled approach toward being a valued and trusted contributor to media. It also deals with important business issues, and it sparks me to consider if there may be a business angle to my writing that I have not considered. Very valuable to me is the discussion of the tools for media creation. Though I am a technologist, it is not in this area, and reading Dan's clear, concise discussion of tools makes me so grateful I did not try to figure it all out on my own. There is excellent advise on taking ownership of your media presence, so others do not.
Media creation is half the book. The other half is media consumption. Through following Dan on Twitter, I had some sense of some of this already. The book goes much further. As with media creation, a principled approach is described, along with a summary of useful tools for media consumers. A key principle is to be skeptical of everything, but not equally skeptical of all things.
Finally, I recommend the book for anyone raising kids or who works with young people. These principles are important to impart to them, in my view, and this book has good advice on how to do so.
If you have become too cynical on journalism, or are sitting on the fence about being a content creator, I recommend you get this book and see if the principles promoted might help.
