| I was first introduced to Michael Soper over the phone, in the context of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's support for the Nonprofit Email Study. Michael was one of our consulting partners on that project. I met him in person around that same time at a public broadcasting conference at which we were both speaking. We talked at great length about systems issues in public broadcasting - he from the perspective of three decades as an insider and me from the perspective of a complete newcomer. He has been the best of peers to me ever since.
It is therefore with great pleasure that I welcome Michael Soper's weblog, appropriately entitled Rare Medium, to the peer group of the Gilbert Authors' Network. Whether you care about public broadcasting, new and old media, the fifth estate, digital communication strategies, or the underpinnings of civil society in general, you would do well to subscribe to Michael Soper's blog. For the last several years I have had a privileged channel to Michael's ideas and analyses (for me this is often in the form of a quick instant message asking if I have a moment for a thought he wanted to share). I'm deeply pleased that all of you will now have that privilege as well.
