Comments
Great program, very enlightening
<p>I initially questioned the decision of having someone on from a paper that's consistently derided and made dismissive comments about KBOO. He even took pot-shots at KBOO and its (lack of) audience in the <a href="http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/BlogtownPDX/archives/2010/02/03/camp... blog post</a> about appearing on the air, but I have to say, the show was engaging and enlightening. Maybe more appearances will make amends of both sides of the media chasm.</p><p>In Davis' defense, there's plenty of jaded hipster currency in deriding community media within the pages of The Merc and KBOO doesn't exactly make it difficult at times.</p><p>I liked the report between Lisa Loving (whom I think is one of KBOO's best journalists) and Davis. This would be a great recurring feature. While not exactly a fair media swap, PR-wise, it can't hurt, especially if The Mercury tones down the negative comments towards KBOO.</p>
