Unique Technological Interactive Radio Music Service Site Promises to Revolutionize Traditional Radio

Real Networks and Rolling Stone Magazine have created a unique partnership that will deliver an interactive radio site to all Internet users.
The announcement was made earlier this week at press conference by Brett Atwood, spokesperson for the partnership. Atwood said that it is because “traditional radio is starting to sound stale” that this interactive nuance will provide listeners with the opportunity to participate in a real time rating system that bumps a particular song into or out of air play rotation.
Initially the radio tuner will consist of 12 stations with the potential to include an infinite number of stations in the near future. These 12 trial stations consist of traditional music ranging from modern rock, hip-hop as well as untraditional - underground music such as electronica and women in rock. According to Atwood the radio tuner is “not a replication of traditional radio” and because the tuner is not located on the traditional radio spectrum there are is no Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations. This allows far more freedom to have a variety of music genres. In addition, this new interactive site will create a space for underground and emerging new talent to reach a wider listening audience.
The Stations on-air talents will consist of exclusive artists signed by the partnership. At this time, Atwood was only at liberty to disclose that David Bowie, will be one of these exclusive celebrity on-air personalities. Bowie's radio spot will be completely programmed by him with his favorite songs by artists that have influenced and inspired him. One can only wonder what other artists will follow in signing exclusively with the partnership for their own radio spot.
The other music channels will be created and produced by the editors of Rolling Stone Magazine. All music segments will be current pre-recorded segments with the exception of the live interactive voting system imbedded in the website.
Because the partnership was able to create a synergy between the Rolling Stone Magazine and Amazon.Com website the cost to the consumer will be of no cost. All it takes is the download of the radio player, which verifies the age of the listener before completing the download. However, once the player is installed on ones computer everyone will have an all access pass to the uncensored radio music service.
This unique technological advance will also have the ability to automatically detect the listeners connection speed so the listener does not have to worry about not being able to enjoy this service.
So, go ahead and download your free player this coming Monday and start enjoying the music provided by the unique partnership between Real Networks and Rolling Stone Magazine.

Five Story Pitches for Entertainment Weekly / Rolling Stone Magazine


1. Dangerous Curves
This piece is a retrospective look at cinema’s infamous femme fatales, from the sultry and sexy Rita Hayward to today’s Angelina Jolie. A glance on how the femme fatale persona has evolved but still manages to hold on to the true characteristics of the dangerous female. From high heel wearing career woman to gun packing vixens, what makes them memorable and worthy of the title Femme Fatale.

2. American Consumerism
This a piece that sociologically and psychologically analyzes how and if the mainstream population is influenced and encouraged to consume name brand clothing among other materialistic objects endorsed by our Celebrity Culture. The overall question that I will attempt to answer is whether or not our Celebrity Culture (Musical Artists, Models, Actors, etc.) influence the buying habits of the average American Citizen.

3. Vanishing Celebrities
Has the pressure of stardom created a vanishing breed of stars. How many of today’s stars are physically wasting away. How many have succumbed to the silent predator of anorexia and/or bulimia, and why are these disorders becoming more prominent at an alarming rate. Is it a coping mechanism or is it in reality the pressures of stardom.

4. Presumed Innocent - due to Celebrity Status
Why are celebrities more apt to be forgiven for criminal activity due to their celebrity status. Can it be that their Stardom / Money buys justice. If justice is truly blind why is that celebrities are given special treatment when they presumably commit a crime?

5. Crime proves Thug Status
Does a hip/hop artist - Rapper have more credibility if they have a known criminal history. Does a wrap sheet secure instantaneous success in the hip/hop game. Does it lend credibility and notoriety for a rising star.

Whose Fault is it Anyway?
Playing the dangerous Blame Game

It’s time to get real people, stop whining and blaming others and take responsibility for ones actions and choices. Increasingly enough the blame game has reached some epidemic proportions and amazingly, no one admits to screwing up. It can be argued that the pressures from peers and society and above all ones own expectations of success has clouded ones perception of taking responsibility for ones actions because it is easier to blame others rather than accepting responsibility. For example, the film Shattered Glass which exposes the 1993 New Republic incident involving the young journalist, Stephen Glass, where he willingly and knowingly wrote several fictitious articles and published them. It is easy to assign the whole blame to Stephen Glass, but who really is to blame? Is it Stephen because he wrote the articles? Or is it the fault of the editors of the publications for not thoroughly checking all the facts in the articles? One could easily contend that yes it is their fault, because it is the responsibility of the magazine staff to report the truth to its public. If the fact checker of the editorial staff would have done their job and made sure that all the facts were meticulously checked, these false accounts would not have been published. On the other hand, it can be argued that as the reader of such publications one should question the validity of what is being presented as truth. But it is logical to assume the role of the victim and blame the author for presenting such stories as truth rather than accepting the blame for believing them. And whether this action is done unconsciously or deliberately to save face, the truth is that is simpler to blame some one else rather than to admit that one has been fooled. On the surface, it appears that one is the true victim of such actions, when in reality we are as much to blame as the author and the magazine company.

That said when incidents such as this present themselves what should be the appropriate action. Should the individual in question be reprimanded in such a manner that clearly demonstrates that this type of behavior will not be tolerated? Should an immediate dismissal be called for? Or should the individual be given a suspension from the staff so that he is made aware that his actions were inappropriate. If one is stupid enough to try to make fiction a universally accepted truth, by fooling the ”INNOCENT” public, then one should be expected to be immediately dismissed from their position if one decides to try this venue. Knowing that the public readily accepts ones words as truths, as an author one must hold oneself up to much higher code of ethics.

Although, the publication on the surface should assume responsibility for the mistakes and print a letter of apology publicly admitting to screwing up, there is not much else that they can do. The image of the publication has been tarnished indefinitely in hopes that this incident is easily forgotten by the public.

Still what would posses a young journalist to do something so deceitful? What would be the motive? In so many ways, one can argue that one is encouraged to act strong and perfect. Because a person who admits to making mistakes and even accepting the blame for such mistakes is seen as inferior and weaker than the rest. However, it is unfair to claim that this peer pressure to become the best would be the sole reason for deceiving the public and publish fictional articles. In Stephen Glass’s cases aside from proving that he is a good journalist, there exists a more profound psychological problem. Glass’s need for acceptance stems from the authorative and controlling relationship with his parents. Unconsciously he hungers for the acceptance from his parents and in order to prove to them that he is worthy journalist rather than the lawyer they are imposing him to become, he forces himself to write imaginative and fictional articles. Alternatively, one can also contend that this behavior manifested itself as a reaction to rebel against his parents, and in an internalized level against his boss, who assumes the same type of power of him as his parents in the familial relationship.

Unfortunately, Stephen Glass may not be the only journalist who has fallen and will fall from grace. As the journalistic industry becomes more competitive, there will be other Stephen Glasses who will fall into temptation and set aside, consciously or unconsciously, the code of journalistic ethics in order to have eminent success in their career. The film Shattered Glass, which narrators the demise of Stephen Glass, is only one film that realistically portrays the high expectations and stress of today’s journalism environment. Nevertheless, just because ones career happens to be competitive where one is required to shine above the rest, it does not provide an excuse nor allow one to project the blame of ones errors onto others. And even though sometimes the line between blame and responsibility happens to become blurred lets stop pointing fingers and clearly and loudly admit that we can take responsibility for ones actions.
