Brianna Keilar Gets CNN Anchor Role; <b>Ali</b> Velshi Slams CNN; <b>Sara</b> <b>...</b>

bkeilar Brianna Keilar Gets CNN Anchor Role; Ali Velshi Slams CNN; Sara Sidner Maintains At CNN

Brianna Keilar

Sara Sidner, Ali Velshi, and Brianna Keilar, all have two things in common: first, they all were at or are will with CNN, and second, I'm acquainted with all of them to various degrees.

It's fun to see them advance, especially from the standpoint of running my own media business. But what I also see brings me to say that not one of the three of them realizes how lucky they are or how hard it is to maintain a media business; they don't have worry about where the money comes from that pays them to do their jobs, they just have to worry about doing their jobs. By contrast, much of what I do today to make sure Zennie62Media gains revenue started via techniques I created for myself back in 2003.

In fact, Brianna Keilar was the subject.

Brianna Keilar At The 2005 NFL Draft

I met Brianna Keilar in 2005 when she was working for MTV and reporting on the activities at the 2005 NFL Draft. That happened to be my first NFL Draft as media, and under my still-current company Sports Business Simulations. What happened was that, after my attempt to bring the Super Bowl to Oakland, the NFL helped me start my web business via allowing me to cover the NFL Draft.

I have scored a number of new media firsts at the NFL Draft since then, but what I learned overall was that people are interested in people and they go online to learn about them. It was via interviewing Brianna Keilar that I learned that. But before I explain, this is how I came to meet her, as I wrote then at the SBS website (http://www.sportsbusinesssims.com/2005.nfl.draft.brianna.keilor.mtvu.ktvu.antrel.rolle.htm) :

In the room, I got a plate and sat down right in front of a television and not far from a young woman who was really all by herself, but near the room's door; by contrast people were tables far away from the door in groups. Between bites of food and television glances, we started a conversation.

Brianna Keilar's a 2001 Cal-Berkeley grad and a television personality who some of you may recognize if you're students. She's regularly seen on MTV-U and is a New York Correspondent for CBS News. At 24 years old, she's off to a great start on a promising career that could see her as a national news anchor, a dream she realizes requires years of hard work.

But what Brianna understands, and what we talked about for a time, are the importance of relationships. In her case, she got her start as an intern at Oakland-based KTVU in 2001 and was helped by (now former) station executive Kenny Wardell, who was also of great assistance to me in opening KTVU's library for my video crew to use as part of their work on our Super Bowl Bid. So, yes, we had a small world conversation.

Brianna credits Wardell and sports anchor Joe Fonzy for being good friends and teachers. But what she does well is establishing and maintaining relationships and seizing opportunities when they emerge. That's how she came to be a New Yorker enjoying the professional and personal advantages of being in the media industry in a media capital.

That one page on Brianna, of all of the 13 pages I wrote on my trip to the 2005 NFL Draft, gained 20 times as much traffic as the others. I discovered that by accident, and so started to alter the code of the webpage: everything from adding special meta tags to changing the text around is subtle ways. Then installing the redone page and testing it against the objective of wanting the page to come up as the first result when one searched for Brianna Keilar.

I hit pay dirt. I also attracted the attention of a broadcast agent who proceeded to bug the shit out of me about Brianna. He wanted me to give up her email address, which I refused to do. Still, he kept after me for about three weeks, and on a regularly consistent basis – phone calls, not just emails. Dude was a shark.

So I finally informed Brianna about him, she allowed me to give him her information, and then, literally just about a year later, she wound up at CNN.

Now remember she wanted to be a national news anchor.

Now did Brianna ever say thanks for the contact? Nope. But that's cool; I know what happened. What was most important for me was that I learned how to improve my search engine optimization skills. When CNN hired Ms.Keilar, I determined they lacked a web page about her, so I improved the design of my NFL Draft page on her – my work was still number one in a search on her for a time. When CNN made her bio page, they had several errors in its formation – I took advantage of that problem, resigned my page on her, and still managed to beat CNN's page on her for a time, and through 2007.

And what's the ultimate objective? Money. Running an ad or a link to buy my Sports Business Simulations' games on the page about my interview with Ms. Keilar helped grow my business and it helped me fashion an overall media philosophy: people matter.

Still, I do wonder what would have happened if I'd just plain ignored the broadcast agent guy all together? My speculation is that Brianna would still have wound up as a national news anchor in some way, just not that specific way.

The other irony is that Brianna knows a friend of mine: Gardner Loulan, who's one of the coolest people I know. I came to know Gardner via my friend Michael Downing, who owns Tout.com, the video app company.

Last year, Gardner Loulan and I covered the 2012 Democratic National Convention and via a cool deal: I got he and Tout.com into the DNC as press, and Tout.com sponsored the trip – all the better to gain journalist contacts to advance Tout nation. That's how Gardner wound up seeing Brianna again after some time: because of me.

Funny how that works.

Equally funny was how I came to know Ali Velshi. It was, first, via a video talk o CNN iReport that was a kind of economic debate, where I was convinced a different kind of stimulus approach was needed, and Ali disagreed. I ended up convincing him otherwise, and essentially won the debate. Watch:

After that, some two years later, Ali and I had a disagreement over a misplaced Twitter tweet on his part, a video blog response from me, apologies all around, and ultimately, this fun visit to CNN Time Warner:

Then, in 2013, Ali left CNN for Al Jazeera America and a new show of his own. I'm happy for Ali, but he must avoid slamming CNN by saying that what they do is what the "Old CNN" does – it just plain sounds bad. I may not like some things that CNN does, but I do like the people there.

As a follow-up, Ali sent this tweet that he loves CNN, but was just remarking that it's different. I think his "Old CNN" comment was taken to be negative, because he's, well, at a new network and CNN has had its challenges:

My connections with CNN go far beyond what's presented here – why that is, I do not know. And I have a ton of CNN stories like this one….

But I know there are a lot of good, hard-working people still at that network and Ali should respect that, and them rather than tossing less than cool comments at them. I'm just happy to have my own media company and not to rely on CNN for anything.

Now every time I think of Sara Sidner, I think of how I first met her: at the home of our mutual friend Beth during the Florida / UCLA NCAA Final Four Basketball Game in 2007 (Sara went to Florida). At that time Sara was with KTVU Channel Two in Oakland.

Then Ms. Sidner got the CNN job, and eventually wound up in Mumbai, India, and married. It seemed like CNN was grooming her for Atlanta International Desk, but what do I know. It would be cool to see her there, rather than being in dangerous situations in India.

Stay tuned. My CNN World's going to get smaller, still.

Here's a hint:

Shortpant <b>Sara Ali</b> Ghairahkan Penonton Shout Awards?

Posted: 24 Nov 2012 12:58 AM PST

Sebab kenapa kami mahu sangat pergi ke majlis anugerah muzik besar yang dianjurkan di Malaysia ini bukan kerana kemeriahanya yang tidak seberapa, tapi lebih ingin melihat

gelagat selebriti yang cuba meraih sedikit publisiti dengan sengaja mahu menimbulkan kontroversi untuk lebih dikenali.

Jika di AIM Shila Amzah dengan mudah memohon maaf di atas keterujaanya mencium tangan ibarat Sharnaaz itu sudah sah menjadi suaminya.

Kali ini di Anugerah Shout Awards kelihatan Sara Ali di kritik oleh peminat akibat pemakaian Shortpantnya. Tapi kenapa hanya Sara Ali?

Apa yang menjadikanya lebih menarik hal ini menimbulkan keghairahan penonton apabila Hashtag Sara Ali menjadi trending di twitter mengalahkan artis-artis yang lebih popular

darinya.

Pelbagai kecaman dan kritikan diberikan kepada artis remaja ini antaranya berbunyi :

"Mungkin bukan masanya lagi untuk Sara Ali berjubah atau bepurdah. Mengubah sesuatu mestilah ikhlas dari hati. Terpaksa pun tidak berguna"

"Sara Ali fikir hot ahh pakai shortpants cenggitu .Defukk ahh -,- nama islam so beragak ah sikit -,-"

Tapi yang lucunya ramai juga yang yang tidak mengenali siapa itu Sara Ali, Jadi keputusan Sara untuk memakai Shortpant adalah 'bertepatan' untuk dirinya lebih dikenali selepas

ini.

"Siapakah Sara Ali tu? Aku yg ketinggalan zaman atau dia tu bukan artis?"

Hakikat yang harus kita terima pada dewasa ini ialah, tanpa pakaian yang seksi maka sebarang majlis berprestij untuk menghargai individu industri ini tidak akan meriah.

The Record : Author shares reference for student writers

Paco Quebral stands with Nancy Sommers after her lecture.

Nancy Sommers, co-author of A Writers Reference, gave a speech about her academic essay, 'I Stand Here Writing,' and spoke about the required college handbook for College Writing Program courses on Friday at the Warren Enters Theatre in Upton Hall.

Sommers shared her passion for writing and the difficulty that comes with it. She introduced something to the campus that could be used not only throughout a college student's career, but also throughout future endeavors after college. A Writers Reference was adopted by the campus last year, and it's also the most widely used textbook in America, Sommers said.

Sommer, who has taught at Harvard University since 1987, wanted a way to unify her life and write an essay to "show that it's possible to be both personal and academic." This was an experiment not just for herself, but for her students, too.

Sommers went into depth about the difficulty of making connections between what's known as your 'personal life' and 'academic life.' Through 'I Stand Here Writing,' she showed what making personal connections to your writing looks like. She is a firm believer of writing toward your interest and that writing in college is an exciting time for students.

"You have to believe when you choose what you're writing about in college you can learn something about yourself," Sommers said.

Dr. Michele Ninacs, assistant professor of English and director of the college writing program, has been touched by Sommers essay, 'I Stand Here Writing,' which is a common reading assignment for students.

"Every text you create in your life is a representation of who you are as a human being," Ninacs said.

She wants her students to know that they don't have to write by formula anymore and leave their ideas out of a paper, a similar message the article from Sommers is communicating to students.

At the beginning of each semester, students are often faced with the difficulties of buying textbooks. A lot of them are expensive and students have to make the decision to buy it while wondering if it'll be used or not throughout the semester.

Ninacs shared the lengthy process of making these decisions. Ninacs, and members of the CWP, felt that Sommers' book was the best fit for the institution. After an extensive year of reviewing dozens of books, Sommers' handbook was the winner. Eventually, the committee made the choice of what they thought was the best fit for students.

"Once we narrowed it down to two, we actually did focus groups with students, we did focus groups with faculty, we had the publishers and the authors of the book come in and did extensive interviewing," Ninacs said.

Financial benefits were kept in mind in the decision-making process. Ninacs shared that instead of students having to purchase three different books for three CWP courses, this would be the only book needed for all three classes.

"We wanted to make sure that students had one book that would serve them for all of these courses and when they go on to writing intensive courses, as well," Ninacs said. "When I hear feedback from students, they love the book. This is a book that will go on your bookshelf next to your dictionary."

Ninacs believes that having one book was also helpful for faculty. With faculty obtaining knowledge and becoming engaged on how to properly use the handbook, it became frequently used in the classroom. In turn, this helped students get the most use out of their money.

Sommers has given speeches at many universities and hosted several workshops that help professors respond to student writers or how to use the handbook. She is a Braddock Award Winner, nonfiction writer, blogger, and has made three educational films in addition to leading to Harvard's Expository Writing Program for 20 years.

The Record : Foreign misconceptions pollute views of Jordan <b>...</b>

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 09:55 AM PDT

Sara Ali, Reporter • October 2, 2013 •

Having traveled to Jordan twice in my life, spending at least six weeks in this predominantly Muslim country, I always return home with great stories to share and answers to questions.

Some questions are about my personal experience, others about the country itself, and a whole lot about the religion — Islam. I always enjoy the questions and curiosity. However, the serious misconceptions people have about Jordan are mind-boggling.

Jordan is an attractive country for many reasons. With the continuation of the two-year civil war to its north, the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict to its west, and the painful history of American military intervention to its northeast, Jordan, in the midst of all the chaos, is an extremely peaceful and safe country. And that's not to mention its jaw-dropping view of white stone houses stacked upon rolling hills, and its Grecco-Roman history and artifacts left from the Neolithic period, all of which can be peacefully enjoyed without worry about the occurrence of causalities.

One question I've been asked several times is, "So, you had to wear that thing on your head and cover yourself, right?" Wrong — and that thing is called a jibab. Jordan is one of the most liberal countries in the Middle East, next to Kuwait, Lebanon and a couple others.

There is no legal dress code for women in Jordan. There is a dress code in the Quran, but the Jordanian government is secular and does not force the women to abide by that code.

Out of respect to the culture and customs, tourists ought to cover their chest, knees, and shoulders. However, if they don't, this won't be the end for them. Stares will come their way, but rarely do the local men harass women. This isn't Saudi Arabia, where in some cities, women are forbidden to leave their homes without the jibab and even sometimes the abay (cloak).

Another fun question is, "Weren't you scared? I would have been freaking out." While I was freaking out over how awesome the Roman ruins are, I've never felt safer anywhere than Jordan. The crime rate is certainly lower than it is here in the US. I never feared a break-in, public shootings, or an armed gunman holding up a gas station. These things are not common in Jordan.

A misconception that is rather troublesome is the idea of abuse toward women being a cultural norm. Yes, Jordan is a male-dominant country. No, not all men abuse their wives. I'm sure some do, but that happens here in America, too.

I have never been forced to do anything against my will, nor did I fear so at any point during my visits. Nor did I worry about bombings occurring on every corner I turned. These common misconceptions are the outcome of pure ignorance and poisoned conceptions from the consistently xenophobic media.

To avoid this hive think, it's important to do your research about a foreign country before forming an opinion.
