What Should Political Reporting Look Like In 2008? How About Humor Writing?

Working for the Man: Inspiring and Subversive Projects for Residents of Cubicle LandSomebody is going to write a great book about how web video, blogs, and the non-stop cable news cycle rocked the 2008 presidential election. It could be your book...

If the topic interests you, head over to the Huffington Post's OffTheBus blog, where GroundReport founder Rachel Sterne did an excellent video piece asking CNN and Fox News reporters what they were looking for in the Democratic debates.

As new media tools unravel all the old ethical and operational rules of reporting, these questions are absolutely essential. (Thanks to Caitlin for the link)

If you want to meet some of those media folks--the bookish, not the political types--come out to the MediaBistro party for Jeffrey Yamaguchi and his new dark comedy handbook, Working for the Man. Happily, Yamaguchi will be stopping by for an interview here soon about the fine art of comedy book writing. Click here for details about Wednesday's book party.

If that's not enough writing mumbo-jumbo for you, Jeffrey will be the guest of honor on a great podcast series this weekend: 

"I will be on Felicia Sullivan's Writers Revealed program this Sunday (Nov. 11) at 6 pm (Eastern Time). She posted a nice item on the book, and is offering a free copy of the book to the person who leaves a comment with a question that is used on the program. So post your questions now."
