That's how Steve Bryant rolls over at his web video news site, Reel Pop. He mixes mad metaphors and breaking news, creating a totally new style for a totally new genre of web journalism.
Jason Boog:
How in the heck did you end up editing at Ziff Davis? If somebody's looking to start as a tech/Internet journalist from the ground up, what do you advise them to do?
Steve Bryant:
I think I applied to work at eWEEK through Mediabistro. Usually Mediabistro has no love for me. I went to the site the other day and it flicked me off.
But being a technology journalist these days has to be easier than ever before. (Hell, if I can do it)
The Internet is all about niche content. It's the inside baseball of everything.
As for Reel Pop, the Hollywood Reporter actually approached me. They saw what I wrote for the Online Journalism Review, I think.
That's another thing, you've got to get your name all over the place.
Ubiquity is the new exclusivity. Amanda Congdon told me that once. She's not unnattractive.
