They aren't Bono, but
So, I'm checking in at Ed Cone's last night and he asks: "N&R reporter Jeffrey Hahne interviews Tommy Lee...with all respect to the estimable Lorraine Ahearn, wouldn't an interview with a rock star make for a better podcast than a columnist reading her work? Why not put this up on GoRadio?"
Like, duh. Jeff doesn't actually work in the newsroom; he is working to put together a publication serving Eastern Guilford and Western Alamance. But I sent Ed's post to Jeff and his boss, and, sure enough, they agreed that we should share with listeners the interviews with Tommy Lee, Gene Simmons, Ashlee Simpson and others. They'll be up on Go Radio ASAP.
Thanks for the suggestion, Ed.

When I say that our news staff is still learning about online, this is exactly the kind of thing I mean. Not everyone gets it as intuitively and reflexively as Ed Cone does (and I intend no snark when I say that). Moreover, well-established work habits save us time in a deadline-heavy job, but they're that much harder to change when change becomes necessary.
But change is necessary and we are changing.

You know how you know you are totally NOT cool!When you go on GSO 101, see a post titled, "They aren't Bono, but," and wonder, "Hmm. What's Cher up to now?"

For a minute there, jw, I thought you were going to say that "you know you are totally NOT cool when you go on GSO 101!"
Just kidding, Roch!
