As of today, I am launching a new program, “Media Challenge.” Here’s the way it works--I am going to record a one minute (or so) take on a media topic of interest. Mike McGuire, my friend and research partner, will also provide a “starter” take which, more often than not, will differ from my POV.

At that point, the program becomes like a Wiki in that I welcome anyone to send in their take which we’ll post to the site arranged by topic. Topics and takes will be added on a weekly basis (or so, given we’re approaching vacation season).

I can take just about any sort of video file. Send them to me at allen_weiner@yahoo.com

Today’s topic is AOL.

Enjoy and please, participate.
