I believe what is not said is often just as important as what is said. Therefore, I leave a lot out of my writing. This post is meant to fill a few holes.
Yesterday, Steve Hall made a public cry for me to write “original” material in this space. Like he does in his.
I have nothing against that approach, but I have other ideas about what we’re up to with AdPulp. As some of our supporters have said, they find a good mix of news clips, commentary, interviews, etc. here. I’m heartened by that, but let me throw this at you: part of what spurs us on is the simple act of gathering the best bits of news and making a shared “scrapbook” or collection, for all to use.
Even if all we did was clip, there’s still an art to the process. With open-source media like this, we have the audacity to edit, not only ourselves, but the entire world of written matter. That’s bold. It’s also the reality of the day.
