Take the quiz at Independent Film Channel as part of their promotional work for their six-part series "IFC Media Project."
I was Savvy 
More details about the show (starts tonight at 8pm on IFC): http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/18/ar...project&st=nyt
Tonight's show features something we've talked about here, one of my (many) media pet peeves: Quote:
The first segment profiles Larry Garrison, a consultant who helps families of missing children deal with the news media. At the time of the filming Mr. Garrison was a spokesman for the family of Caylee Anthony, the Florida toddler who was reported missing last July.
“People love to hear stories about tragedies,” Mr. Garrison tells the producers, sitting in his office, a framed copy of a People magazine cover saying “What Happened to Caylee?” on the wall. “It’s like eating a potato chip; you just can’t stop.”
Cable channels presented almost 900 reports about Caylee in the first 12 weeks after she disappeared. “During that time, approximately 100,000 other children were reported missing,” the program observes. (Last week The Orlando Sentinel reported that Mr. Garrison had collected payments from news organizations. He denies profiting from the Anthonys, although he is no longer working with them.)

It's not bad, it's 10 questions that read like an opinion poll. A few of them cover things we've talked about here, so I know you know the "savvy" answers

At least you were "savvy" and not "cynic"!

The quiz just struck me as asking 'are you savvy?' over and over again and if you answer yes you are savvy? What an odd quiz. | |
