Interview in LA Times tomorrow

An article is going to run in tomorrow's LA Times from Maria Elena Fernandez.  While I was traveling abroad for my real job, she interviewed me (over email) about Studio 60, strangely enough.  I certainly didn't think I was the foremost authority on "the Internets" about the show.

Anyway, she wanted to know why I blog, what I write about, who I am, etc. and then the conversation turned a bit.  She started asking if the Internet and bloggers may up the hype-quotient way too quickly, setting shows up for failure... thus hurting the very shows that the bloggers were excited about in the first place.

I'm not sure how much ammunition I unwittingly gave her to help her story, but we'll see what runs tomorrow.

Congrats, Craig! They certainly have some enlightened staff over at the LAT in terms of reaching out to bloggers.

Thanks Chris, but I'm concerned that by the nature of her questions, she's looking to lay blame somewhere... notably on bloggers and the Internet.

I'm debating posting our entire email conversation, so that people can see what I said, and then see how she uses it in the context of her story.
