That’s John Lehmann of the Globe & Mail with his “skateboard cam.” You can see what he’s up to in the whole picture, and watch his latest Globe & Mail Doc video report, Dewey by Day, Derby by Night, at Newspaper Video. Like all John’s work, it’s worth watching. I’m not sure, though, if he’ll [...]
The Vancouver Province gets points for using its newsroom blog to tip me to a story that has a direct effect: the temporary rerouting of one of the buses that takes me to the college. That’s news I can use. Except I really can’t, because the change is given in text and it names street [...]
