I thought I was done for the day until I saw this on Jaffe Juice. Steve Jobs was named Radio Person of the Year by Radiodailynews.com. As Joe Jaffe says it best, “That’s like Hurricane Katrina being named Time’s Person of the Year. Disruptive. Life changing. Massive economic impact. Check. Check. Check.”
Radiodailynews.com is “The Daily Voice and Journal of Broadcasting.” Steve Jobs is best know lately for the iPod and iTunes (where you’ll find AgWired’s ZimmCast).
As the news release says about the award:
The “Radio Person of the Year” award from RadioDailyNews.com is not just a recognition, it also represents a challenge to Steve Jobs and his associates who designed and continue to modify and improve the iPod in 2006. Indeed, it is a challenge to all involved in the broadcasting and entertainment programming industries, in particular AM, FM, HD Radio and satellite radio owners, managers, programmers and talent, to dedicate themselves to provide to the listener and viewer the best entertainment, information and news programming that creative minds can conceive.
I think this applies to farm broadcasting and farm podcasting too.
