iPhone, Therefore I am
By
I got a nice ride – with a smart question mark – from philadelphiaweekly.com this morning, courtesy of PW Online Editor Joel Mathis.
“The Future of News?“ asks, “Can Jim MacMillan’s iPhone save journalism?” and examines the events I discussed in a previous post.
I hope I never promised quite so much, but the PW article celebrates everything I have been striving for during my first few months as a newly-independent journalist, and asks all the right questions as well, including: “What will (our) profession look like in the future? And how will it make money?”
UPDATE: Joel and I are getting some exceptional attention from Romenesko right now! (Thanks!)
Want to talk about it? @PhillyWeekly Online Editor Joel Mathis will interview me via Twitter re http://is.gd/fvXB – Join us Wed.@ 1:30pmEST: #twinterview

great piece – i keep picturing Dick Van Dyke in “Bye Bye Birdie:” the bass drum, the horn, maybe a sharp little piano in his one-man band.

Jim,
Congrats on pushing the edge and the well-deserved attention.
