Hi I'm John Boitnott. Welcome to my blog! Here I talk about how old media is coping with the Web. I write for Soshable.com, build buzz for sites and advise writers on how to make their work more likely to be shared online. I have worked at Venturebeat, Village Voice Media and NBC. Before that I held several positions at various TV newsrooms in the state of California, from 1994 to 2009.
