Government’s planned Media Council has come under fire from many of the island’s journalists and overseas media bodies. In today’s issue of The Royal Gazette, Sam Strangeways takes a look at the arguments for and against the bill, tabled by Premier Ewart Brown on May 7.

Unfortunately the Gazette’s online coverage is shambolic with the main story being broken up as it is in the paper – one segment ends with “continued on page 8” and another starts “continued from page 4”.  Anyway, start here and then follow the related links, if you can, in the right hand column.

Yours truly is quoted in one of the pieces. You can read my submission to the Gazette in full here.

Update: If you answer “Other” – please let us know what source you use. Thanks!

Some of the biggest names in Mac and tech journalism will be in Bermuda this week board the MacMania 10 cruise. Among those scheduled to be on board are three of my favourites – the New York Times’ David Pogue, Andy Ihnatko of the Chicago Sun-Times and Jason Snell, the editor in chief of Macworld.

Can’t promise but these guys and others may make an appearance at a special party being thrown by the iStore at Flanagan’s Outback bar. Happy hour prices and free bar food starting at 6.30pm – at the very least get the chance to chat with people as obsessed about Macs as you and me.
