First i would like to say that I'm a professional photojournalist and i would never knowingly wear Cowboys gear out to the Chiefs while on the job. Having said that today i was sent, for only the 2nd time all season, cause we are short photographers during the holidays and i just so happened to be wearing my cowboys gear. Normally i keep a change of clothes in my news vehicle, but they are in the wash.

NextGenMedia Podcast caught up with MO State Senator Jolie Justus at Eddie Delahunt's Coffee, where she was doin something very odd, actually sitting down and talking face to face with constituents. While Senator Justus is an early adopter of NextGen/Social Media to communicate with constituents she can be found weekly doing her coffee sitdowns and kicking it analog on most Fridays.

Ok so I’ve decided to perhaps start doin some short podcasts discussing how tv and still professionals are adjusting to new media. I’d like to thank KMBC Anchorman Kris Ketz on being my first guest and hopefully not my last.

As always I welcome your feedback, comments,advice, good or bad, it’s the only way I will get better. So thank you for listening.

Here is part one of two. We were interrupted cause he had to go cut a promo.

This past summer two former employees of Mi Ranchito Mexican restaurant, in Lenexa KS, were charged with poisoning a batch a salsa causing a couple of dozen people to get sick. The restaurant would eventually be closed for an entire month. With the shut down the owner, who owns 5 other Mi Ranchito resaurants, had to layoff 100 workers.

My question is, in this case could social/nextgen media of helped save these 100 jobs? A recent report says that word of mouth is still number one in business. But i can’t help thinking had Mi Ranchito had a social/nextgen media strategy they could of played a larger role in getting the truth out about what happened and fueled that word of mouth PR that might of saved some jobs.

Yesterday Jeff Winkel, a casual patron of the restaurant, tried to get the word out and bring those 100 jobs back and he’s doin it the old fashion way. I had a short chat with him here’s what he had to say.

If this video post works you should see video of KCMO PD take out a man who opens fire on them after they started to investigate why he crashed his pickup into a tree.

Does your company have the right to see your emails and texts from your company owned cell phone?? US Supreme Court will see a california case where a police officers sexually suggestive texts were turned over to his employer.

Excuse the repost. I’m trying out Posterous and the last post i sent from my iphone didn’t include the pics. If it doesn’t work this time I’ll just move on.

My quick take is I was unimpressed. They have great marketing and Pr for a slightly better than average burger. When your entire decor is about how great your burgers and fries are, well that’s just a lot hype to live up to, and they didn’t.

So burger and fries were good not great and in the words of the 80′s
rap group Public Enemy “DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE”

Best burgers in town? It’s a toss up between Westport flea market and Max’s on wornall.
