A Debate about #Journalism

By Professor Kenna Griffin* and Bruce Sallan

Bruce Sallan: One of the many joys of Social Media is the incredible people we meet. Many of these “virtual” friends as I like to call them, eventually become IRL (In Real Life) friends and many stay “virtual,” as has my friendship with Professor Griffin. We’ve gotten to “know” one another via Twitter and our regular participation in certain Tweet Chats.

I sincerely believe this is yet another instance where our differences show up big-time and reflect our inherently diverse sensibilities. I will also declare up front my bottom-line conclusion that women are smarter – for the most part – in this area.

An Amazing Party

Larry and Nancy Sanitsky threw the Bar Mitzvah Party of ALL-TIME on Saturday evening, November 10th for their son, Nevin. They took over the top floors of the AT&T building in Downtown L.A. Clearly they also made a deal with G*d, for the weather was spectacular, with incredible clear views from the top of this building. The ceremony took place as the sun set. The party was split between an adult area and kid area with both getting incredible music, food, and spirits. Larry put on an amazing show which is fully captured in this video – don’t miss it! I got to re-connect with old showbiz friends I hadn’t seen in years like my former partner Allen Shapiro, long-time friends Sam and Shanit Schwartz, Ilene Kahn Power, and so many of their kids that I’d not seen since they were little. It felt like a reunion. It was spectacular and this video just gives you a hint of the evening! Enjoy!
