2/28 - It's the Television, Stupid

Here's yet another poll showing that most Americans get their news, not from newspapers, magazines, or even on-line (and this includes even Gen Xers, believe it or not), but from TELEVISION. And so what, exactly, is the world of ocean conservation doing to take advantage of this knowledge on how the American public gets spoon fed information? The usual "not much."

By the way, have I mentioned lately the two great commercials we produced here that had huge national success, but when we presented them to the major foundations for further support we pretty much got a, "well gee, what did you do that for?" response. If you haven't heard about this, just stand by. In a few weeks it will resurface, attached to the upcoming news about my new "Flock of Dodos" film. It's going to be an interesting spring here at SB.
