Yeah, he's a regular martyr. One who quotes himself to prove a point and uses this site to express his displeasure when job seekers looking for an on-air position refuse to bow to him (and the fact that he may be "niche famous") despite the fact that he does not hire for on-air positions. When Cory reports, he rpovides a worthwhile service. However, when his musings head into this territory, he shows a remarkable inferirority complex. “Cory’s selfless donation of his time and money to report on this event…”

Now that's funny. I remain incredibly proud of the LR Faithful to see through the commenters who add nothing to the conversation. 10 years in, and we've seen them come and go. Mostly go. You guys do realize this free site is a labor of love that you don't have to visit, right? That it's rude to visit someone's house and insult them, right? Debate away. Add to the dialogue. Share your ideas. But insults reflect on one person, and it ain't my former LR boss. I'll take my inflated sense of self-importance and Cory's selfless donation of his time and money to report on this event over anonymous trolls' inferiority complexes any day. Cory being accused of ‘not getting it.’ Now that’s funny.

The whole "web guy" and "I.T. guy" thing comes from an ignorance of what it is that we do.

The worst is being called the “I.T. guy” or the “I.T. department”.

I know how un-web-friendly the convention can be - its meant more for engineers and news directors than web producers - uh, I mean "Interactive News Producers." I appreciate you digging through the crap to find and share and all web nuggets. I wasn't able to make it to NAB this year, and I've found your blog from Vegas to be very helpful. I have already created a list of things to try out in my own newsroom. Thanks Cory, Thanks for all your efforts to bring the latest from the NAB.

I can't imagine actually using my real job title in a conversation. For one thing, it would be pretentious. But I suppose you don't get that.

It seems to be impairing your ability to use proper grammar. Regarding your interview subjects, "they're" hijacking the interview, not "their." Simple mistakes like this really hurt your credibility.
