MULTIMEDIA INTERACTIVITY<\/b><\/p>\n
Strategist, author, columnist, blogger Tom Barnett<\/strong> <\/a>is scheduled to <\/a>do eight radio shows <\/a>with radio host, author, columnist and uber-blogger Hugh Hewitt<\/strong> <\/a>to do an in-depth exploration of The Pentagon’s New Map<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. A few scattered thoughts:<\/p>\n This is an almost unheard of exposure for an author (ok-in ancient times before television, radio programs sometimes did serials but I seriously doubt that anyone reading this was alive back then), particularly for a book that is nearing three years old.<\/p>\n Why PNM instead of Dr. Barnett’s more recent Blueprint For Action<\/a><\/em><\/strong> ? I think the explanation is simple. PNM was conceptual in a way that was radical and rich – almost too many new major foreign policy and defense ideas for the average reader to get a handle on. Tom’s horizontal thinking created a shock book for the current affairs set. BFA was more vertical thinking, a ” prescriptive”, how-to, sequel explaining the benefits and consequences of those new concepts which is a format that is more familiar to readers. More meat, less shock.<\/p>\n Err….as a fan of the former longrunning C-Span series “Booknotes<\/a><\/em><\/strong>” …why isn’t there a cable TV program dedicated to the blogosphere ? ( Or is there? I don’t watch much TV and subscribe just to basic cable -LOL!).<\/p>\n The radio series should be video blogged ( hey Sean,<\/a><\/strong> run that by Tom will ya ?). Maybe Hewitt has a camera in his radio studio like Rush <\/a><\/strong>or Steve Dahl<\/a><\/strong>. I don’t know.<\/p>\n Are these different media formats reaching different audiences ? How large is the overlap?<\/p>\n A very nice review of PNM by Hewitt’s co-blogger Dean Barnett<\/strong> <\/a>can be found here. Just for laughs, here is the review I did at the request of HNN<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Looking forward to the series !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MULTIMEDIA INTERACTIVITY Strategist, author, columnist, blogger Tom Barnett is scheduled to do eight radio shows with radio host, author, columnist and uber-blogger Hugh Hewitt to do an in-depth exploration of The Pentagon’s New Map.
