“A lot of things people see as innovative are faddish and fleeting, and...” — Gordon Smith Quote

A lot of things people see as innovative are faddish and fleeting, and I'm simply telling you, staying power like broadcasting has is more important in the end than the latest app you can download.

Business deals are successfully negotiated every day throughout America. The common thread is a mutual desire to reach an accord. And the media business is no different.

When there's an emergency weather situation, the local broadcaster is the source of information that often makes the difference between life and death.

Local television is still the No. 1 source for news and part of the family.

The only way to ensure that our promise to provide every opportunity for students with disabilities, and help them achieve their full potential, is to give our schools the dollars they need.

Speaking of Twitter, I don't even know if I composed a blog entry in 2009, as I was too busy parceling my every thought into cute 140-character sound bites. I used to only worry about being pithy for a living; now some of my best lines are wasted on a free app!

If one app or news site or friend gets your attention, that means something or someone else loses it. It comes out of our sleep, our time with family or our reflective time with ourselves.

If you download an app and the app is clunky to use and it's hard to use, then in the next upgrade, the app improves. And that's because the corporation wants to retain you as a customer. But the visa system is not interested in improving, because it doesn't think it's to its benefit to make it easier.

As users replace usage of the web with a mobile, app-centric ecosystem, the phone becomes the center of gravity. In this mobile world, Facebook is just one app on the phone.
