Author and journalist Jonathan Coleman joins Coy Barefoot on the November 16th installment of WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now to talk about his work. Coleman got his start as a producer for CBS News. He soon decided to pursue two stories full-time. The two stories became At Mother’s Request and Exit the Rainmaker. He talks with Coy about race relations in 2006, Coleman’s current project about the blacklisting of the 1950’s, the importance of challenging the status quo, and a recent article he wrote in the Washington Post about John Grisham’s experience parking in Charlottesville.

Steve Safran is the editor and founder of lostremote.com, a website dedicated to tracking the new media revolution. He joins Coy Barefoot on WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now to talk about the latest developments. Microsoft’s released the Zune, its own portable mp3 player, available for $249. Coy and Steve talk about a move afoot to replace the term “podcast”, as Safran says we’re in an era when people don’t quite know if podcasting is a viable medium or not, because a podcast downloaded is not necessarily a download listened to or watched.

“Everyone should challenge the numbers they hear, especially from the people who own the sites,” says Safran. “Everybody’s numbers are off, but that’s okay, because the Nielsen ratings on television are notoriously fuzzy, too.”
