ABOUT CLICKED

The modern news consumer ignores Weblogs and online citizen journalism at his own peril. But not everyone has the time to keep track of what's going on the Web. With this blog we hope to track the highlights of what's being discussed online so when news breaks from the Web, we're ready.

Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

Voices in my Head: Jean Pfaelzer

Filed Under:

I've been trying to find a way to add a video component to the audio interviews I do.  I used my interview with Jean Pfaelzer, author of Diven Out, as the first, most basic test.  The video is just the cover of her book, but I think you'll see that listening through the video player is better than waiting for the audio file to load.

As for the interview itself, Pfaelzer's book was really interesting and it was hard to interview her without just saying, "Oh, tell about this part, now tell about this part." (You can tell by the way my questions run on too long.)  I was expecting to just talk about the current immigration debate, but really, the history of discrimination against Chinese Americans is fascinating and something I knew nothing about.
