The idea for this post comes from Liam Wilkinson, the newest member of the Jesson team, who is absolutely inspirational in the fresh thinking he is bringing to Jesson. Welcome aboard, Liam. After listening to me moan about the latest round of cuts at traditional media outlets like Post Media and Rogers, Liam wrote this…

Seems like the topic du jour in our world is online shaming. The New York Times Magazine did a story on Sunday about Justine Sacco, the so-called public relations consultant who got caught in a real-time warp on her flight to South Africa in 2013. On a layover en route to Cape Town she tweeted…
There are some things that just don’t bridge the digital divide. In my opinion, Christmas cards are one of them. And I was pleased to learn on CBC’s The Current this morning I am not alone. To rip Mark Twain, — reports of their death have been highly exaggerated. Don’t get me wrong, when I…

The first news item that caught my attention was a report in a Wall Street Journal story by Daniel Henninger reporting on commencement cancellations at US Colleges.

The Middle East exploded with incendiary violence and an enlightened American diplomat was killed. Had the films producers never heard of Salman…

Unlike the current crop of university graduates, my generation stands astride the digital divide. We remember the time before. And as liberating as the Internet has been, we have moments…
