Former PLP strategist doesn’t trust Ewart

Even Larry Burchall, one of the strategists behind the PLP’s election victory in 1998 thinks Premier Ewart Brown should go. At Saturday’s Picnic for Change at Astwood Park, he said: “I find that the current leader for the PLP is a person that I can’t trust and a person that I do not trust … I don’t like the fact that I have been lied to. He has a fixation on looking after himself.”

I wasn’t able to attend this protest but was disappointed that only about 100, mainly older, white people showed up according to the Gazette. Maybe the timing was wrong or (perish the thought) Doc was right when he said “this too shall pass”. That’s certainly something Bermuda can’t afford to let happen.

THE BERMUDIANS, the protest group which has been calling for Ewart Brown to step down as Premier, has just set up its own website. Some of it is still under construction but it does establish some principles and guidelines for volunteers and supporters. The site should be hosting video and reports on today’s Picnic For Change at Astwood Park.

Spotlight on new media

I wrote a piece for the current issue of Bermudian Business on how social networking, blogs and devices like the iPhone are transforming the media business and changing our very notion of what constitutes news and how we get it. In particular I looked at how it is impacting local media.

Unfortunately Bermudian Business does not upload published articles to its website – a prime example of traditional media not wanting to totally embrace the new and cannibalise its own product – but as I have had several requests from people outside Bermuda unable to buy the magazine for a copy of the piece, I post it here for your edification or otherwise: How Do You Take Your News?

Please note that while I am happy for you to link to and quote from this piece, please credit myself and Bermudian Business when doing so. Reproduction of the entire piece without permission of myself and/or the publisher in any way shape or form is strictly verboten.
