« Cartoons: Donald Duck pays his taxes to beat The Axis | Main | MSM live-blogs the Dem debate: Instareporting; video at ABC » April 16, 2008Actor Tim Robbins 'dazzles' broadcasters convention
Everyone is still talking about Tim Robbins’ brash keynote speech yesterday, which took broadcasters to task for voyeuristic, gossipy content, among other things. While it was probably a strategic mistake for the NAB to book Robbins in the first place, personally, I enjoyed it. I live-blogged it while Steve Safran shot it all on his Flip phone right here. From Cory's live-blogging, Tim Robbins' sometimes bleepable remarks turn into a public service message tht ends, Seriously, “we are at an abyss as an industry and as a country.” You, the broadcasters, have a tremedous power and tremendous potential to effect change. “We don’t need to look at the car crash. We don’t need to live off the pain and humilitation of the unfortunately. We don’t need to celebrate our pornographic obsession with celebrity culture. We are better than that.” Cory is Director of Digital Media at KING5 TV in Seattle. Posted by Sheila Lennon |
