Low-Information Diet: Conclusions

I’ve wrapped up my Low-Information Diet for this week.  If you haven’t been keeping track, the Low Information Diet means cutting back on media influence, notably TV and internet news.
This means I haven’t watched any Fox News, CNN, MSNBC - even no Colbert Report.  And I typed “CNN.com” into my browser several times before catching […]

Low-Information Diet: Day 2

Note:  This is Day 2 of Dan’s Low-Information Diet week.
So yesterday was my first day of plugging out from the world of news.  Am I missing anything?  My guess is no, since no one I’ve talked to has brought up anything in the news.  Anything important enough for me to pay attention to would somehow […]

The Low-Information Diet

This isn’t my usual post, but I have to write it to let you know that I’m undertaking a little experiment. Since I’m always making fun of TV news, but I actually still watch it, it’s time to put my money where my mouth is.
In Tim Ferriss’ book The 4-Hour Workweek, he talks about a […]

Reaction to Anti-Education System Column

Reading the Journal-Sentinel and having three different blurbs talking about you is kinda cool - it’s like an interactive newspaper! I’m the most popular term in today’s Editorial Section. Let’s look at the comments:
“Kenitz’s column sent a clear message that vast changes need to happen within the education system if we want our […]

Censored!

I woke up today to a bright Milwaukee day, thinking “hey, my column is supposed to be in the paper today.” I walked to work, looked up the Journal-Sentinel’s website on my computer, and disappointingly didn’t see my column. Huh, I figured. They must have moved me.
Then, I was informed by an […]

Dan Speaking to Class at Cardinal Stritch University

I’m making a glorious return of destiny to my alma mater, Cardinal Stritch University, this morning at 9:30 a.m. in order to speak to a class on Mass Media.
I’m not good at public speaking, and I’ve only prepared what I’m going to say in my head, so here’s how I imagine my speech going:

Reader to Dan: [Bleep] You

There was an interesting letter to the editor in the Journal-Sentinel today that criticized me, and I thought it was pretty good:
Community columnist Dan Kenitz’s April 14 column “Milwaukee could use some global warming” provided no new insight into this issue. Its sophomoric tone served only to perpetuate misconceptions about the state of our environment […]

Journal Sentinel Column: 4/14/07

I’m back in the Journal-Sentinel today, bringing some Dan Kenitz justice and reason to the Milwaukee area. This column’s topic is global warming:  check out yours truly Dan Kenitz today.

Grading Jim Doyle’s Budget Proposal

I’m in the Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel today, and I’m pretty happy that the editors kept my “report card” format.  How often do you get to write “double gold stars” in the newspaper?

Why is every celebrity crazy? Clearly, it’s drugs

First off, I’m going to be my brother’s best man at his wedding this weekend, so I just wanted to let you know that I’m kind of a big deal. 
The best man’s duties consist of throwing a bachelor party (already done, although I really had nothing to do with it except enjoy the ride), holding […]
