sacred perception
so i wrote this cover story for jewsweek about the uja yanking their interview with rushkoff just after it went online… and when i got to work today i found a voicemail from jason gitlin, their webmaster or whatever, who conducted the interview and whom i know loosely through the uja’s web users group (which i sat on the steering committee of for a brief while). he was displeased that i hadn’t contacted him about the story, for whatever reason he assumed made sense, and asked the in the future i contact him if such an issue arises. frankly i’d forgotten i knew anyone there, specifically in the web department. not like it would’ve helped, “gee, do you have a quote? oh, i have to talk to your marketing and communications director? oh, she has no idea why it got yanked? oh i’ll get a call back about it later? oh, i missed my deadline?” fuck that.
that being said, it appears that the uja has now reposted the article to their front page. gotta love the p.r. recovery tactics.
obvously, you didn’t read my blog, which said it would be. 🙂
