TT: Next thing you know, I’ll be eating right

August 9, 2005 by Terry Teachout

Having spent Monday morning and afternoon doing as I pleased, and part of the evening working on my reviewing calendar, I now find myself faced with two mutually exclusive options:


(A) Stay up late and blog, get up first thing Tuesday and write my drama column for Friday’s Journal, and spend the rest of the day in a sleep-deprived haze.


(A) Go to bed at a reasonable hour.


See you Wednesday!

Today’s unintentionally revealing old-media quote comes from Bob Giles, curator of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University, courtesy of Romenesko:

The first thing newspapers need to be able to do successfully is to be able to separate themselves from other news media, from broadcast TV and so on, to establish the idea in the mind of readers that newspapers are the most authoritative and accurate source of news.

Tie that man to a tenure track!
