Sree Sreenivasan, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM dean of students: Mr. Media Radio

Journalism prof, dean, blogger and reporter Sree Sreenivasan makes Mr. Media look lazy!

(Originally broadcast September 14, 2007) I don’t know about you, but I could spend hours on end doing stuff on the Internet, some of it productive, some of it, well, not.

And some days, it’s hard separating the two because one is generally just as distracting as the other.

I’m hoping that today’s guest, Sree Sreenivasan, can help all of us sort out the time-wasters from the time-benefitters. And no, I don’t think that’s a real word.

Sree is one of journalism’s last great multi-taskers. He’s a New Media professor and dean of students in the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. But he’s also a technology reporter for WNBC television in New York City and a regular columnist for Poynter Online. Oh, and he is, naturally, a blogger too at sreetips.com.
