B minor

Watching all the coverage of the inauguration of Barack Obama today, I couldn’t help but wonder about something.

When I left television, the ability to lure advertisers into buying time in hard news was rapidly diminishing. Now that we seem to have a rock star type personality (as in, people can’t stop watching him) in the White House, I wonder if hard news and politics will see any sort of bump in attractiveness to advertisers.

Just a curiosity.

Apologies for not posting for several days. Am finally back into a groove at school (though I expect to be back to the usual overwhelmed holding state by this weekend).

Wishing best to the R1 applicants who are getting decisions tomorrow. I have to call a few admitted students to congratulate them once decisions are released – looking forward to that – and strange to think there’s a new class waiting in the wings already.
