Talk:Media in Salt Lake City

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peer review Media in Salt Lake City has had a peer review by Wikipedia editors which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.

Added channel 58 to the TV list. Weird station that shows 70s-era TV shows, infomercials, and -- most strangely -- low-quality (almost amateur) independent productions (check out Retro Jams Sunday Night, for example). Their call sign indicates they also broadcast on Channel 3 in Price.

I notice that SLUG has been added as a magazine, but that a link to the magazine's site was put here instead of a red wikilink. I have no problem with that personally, but we couldn't do that to the whole list because "Wikipedia is not a web directory". Maybe we could write these like:

  • SLUG magazine – Salt Lake Underground, a music magazine [1]

I agree...I didn't add that link, and was pondering it last night, but was too tired to think too hard on it...I think if someone wants a link to SLUG, and they care about the mag, they should write an article about it, and then add an external link...

[edit] Low power/Translator stations

I am going to remove K68FY from the list of television stations. Stations with this format of call sign are almost always translator stations. As these are just rebroadcasts of another stations content, I don't think they should be included on the list. Only stations that provide unique material. Comments? A 08:56, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Links to cities

There seems to be no system for what mentions of a city get a link. I would recommend that a city get a link only for the first time it is mentioned in the article; but I could understand the argument for once per section. I would go ahead with the change now, but I figure two major changes to the TV section is enough for one day. Comments? A 09:15, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

When I first created the article, it was indeed the first mention of the cities' names. However, subsequent editors have apparently gone in and linked or unlinked as they saw fit (probably weren't paying attention) and now it appears there is no system in place. Please feel free to correct this, if you desire. Jon 18:17, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Listen? Magazine; www.listenzine.com is a free local publication is Salt Lake City built from the ground up with nothing but $70.00 and a large Volunteer Staff. Listen? Magazine was founded by Ryan (DUTCH) Van Seters in part with Shane Flox, Justin (dingo), DK, Matthew Hawkins, Dave Anderson, Justin Knutson, and other faithful Volunteers. Listen? derived its name from and experience Dutch had while driving home after being discharged from the navy. Dutch's sister, Teasa, died of a drug overdose the day before he was supposed to leave for bootcamp. Despite the overwhelming pleadings of friend and family Dutch deployed directly after the funeral. Thinking of nothing more than the loss of his sisters life, Dutch created Listen? as a forum for creation. "The only reason my sister and I were so close is because I listened, I listened without compromise, without judgment, without spewing out shallow solutions to complex problems. Listening is something utilized little when needed, we shout when shouted at, and shut up when we need to shout. So the question is, "Listen?" Should you? Could you? Will you? Do you?" In 2002 Listen? released its first publication titled "Drugs in Salt Lake." Within two weeks 10,000 issues where off the shelves of every distributor. Listen disassembled for many years, fighting the Plagiarism of many other publisher and just recently announced their "re-birth" into the culture of Salt Lake. "Little has changed," Dutch says, "where still free, we still focus on content over advertisements, we still remain unbiased publishing the work of fledgling and professional artists alike, we're still reliant on Volunteers. If anything we're passionate than before, really coming out with gloves on, specifically when it comes to the web. Our website, listenzine.com is really our showcase; giving people an even larger opportunity to share their thoughts and works freely." 67.164.194.160 02:37, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
