Week 1: Lauren Marie Paterson – Transmedia, Scribe Video, and Reading Response

I noticed a few main similarities between the Transmedia hangout discussion and the Precious Places work being done at Scribe Video in Philidelphia.

Week 1: Jamie Schaub – The New Yorker – Burying the Hatchet

Hi, This is in response to the article Helen linked to, titled Burying the Hatchet. I enjoyed reading about the author’s experience as a book critic, and his transparency about why being critical (in a non-constructive kind of way) was more meaningful to him at that time in his career, rather than saying something ‘nice.’
