Yours truly on my media diet

Posted by Mathew @ 10:44 pm on January 8 2007 |

Media consultant K. Paul Mallasch, the guy behind Journalism Hope and other ventures, emailed me recently to ask me to take part in a feature he has revived where he asks various media and blogosphere types about their “media diet.” I sent him some responses and he posted them on his site here. Below is an excerpt:

Do you use blogs as a source of news? If so, when did you start?

I do use blogs a source of news — or at least a source of commentary that often leads to or becomes the news. I’ve been doing that pretty much since I discovered blogs and RSS several years ago.

What aggregators do you use, if any?

For aggregators I use Metafilter, Techmeme, Digg, Tailrank and Megite.

How many RSS feeds do you subscribe to?

I have about 200 feeds, but some of them are keyword filters or Digg streams. I scan through them using Google Reader, and in some cases only read the headlines until I find something interesting.

    Thanks again for participating. It was interesting to me to compare yours to some of the ones from 2002, 2003.
