PS - The clips in Levinson News Clips  are short and to-the-point. If you'd like to sample my longer discussions and analyses of television, politics, movies, new tech, science fiction, food, hybrid cars, and who knows what else, try my Light On Light Through podcast - monthly commentaries, usually 20-25 minutes long.

 

I'm proud to be on the May 8 page of this calendar, with the following quote: "What begins as a seemingly innocent campaign against indecency . . . always segues in short order into political censorship."  Read my 2005 Keynote Address at Fordham University, The Flouting of the First Amendment .

Joan Walsh, Editor-in-Chief of Salon.com, says

Paul Levinson takes you on a walking tour – actually, it's more like a running tour – of the media innovations that are transforming our world. He's not just a scholar, he's an explorer, immersing himself in MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and multiple blogging platforms to help us make sense of the galloping changes in media. Have we entered a glorious new era of media democracy, or are these innovations leveling standards of fairness and authority? Levinson remains an optimist without being blind to the dark side of change. Whether you want to learn to blog, podcast or Twitter yourself, or just keep track of the way such tools are remaking the world around you, the "New New Media" is an indispensable guide.
