Conversations in Media: Kiyoshi Martinez

Posted on March 8, 2008 by pat

The inaugural Conversation in Media is with Kiyoshi Martinez, the 23-year-old former journalist who founded AngryJournalist.com.

I will try to have a weekly conversation with a media member about the state of media, journalism and where the future is headed.

Some highlights:

  1. Why did Martinez start Angry Journalist?
  2. “Being a journalist shouldn’t mean you have to be miserable.” – Martinez
  3. “It’s absolutely unnecessary to major in journalism to get a journalism job.” – Martinez
  4. “We’re going to lose a lot of newspapers because they aren’t worth the paper they are printed on.” – Thornton

Or stream the file at the Conversations in Media PodShow site.

The audio will be better in the future. This was my first time tape recording a phone conversation with a Marantz recorder. Also, Martinez was on a cell phone speaker phone. But the audio is still pretty good.

Any feedback would be great. Did you like the content? How is the length? How are the formats? Any suggestions would be great.

    This was a great conversation, Pat. Thanks for sharing it.

    Given how much I say “you know” in this segment, I can safely rule out a career in radio.

    That said, thanks for the chat, it was quite fun.

    Arian,

    The concept is in kind of a test phase right now. I’m trying to figure out the best format and length to do this in.

    This conversation was cut down by maybe 5-10 mins.

    I thought of doing a short, best of clip and then having a longer clip like the one I posted if people were interested.

    I think I’ll eventually find the right happy medium. Thanks for the feedback though. I need it.

  • arian

    that’s the only way to see if something works, right? trial and error. i look forward to your future interviews.
