For New Journalists, All Bets, but Not Mikes, Are Off
By JACQUES STEINBERG
Published: June 8, 2008
A 61-year-old woman elbows her 5-foot-2-inch frame to the front of the crowd mobbing Bill Clinton after a campaign event in South Dakota. As Mr. Clinton shakes her hand and holds it tight, she deftly draws him into a response to an article on the Vanity Fair Web site that examines his post-presidential life. “Sleazy” and “slimy” are among the words that issue from the former president’s mouth. Within hours, audio of the three-minute exchange — including the woman’s description of the article as a “hatchet job,” and Mr. Clinton’s description of Todd Purdum, the author and a former reporter for The New York Times, as “dishonest” — is available for the world to hear on the Huffington Post Web site.

Jason Santa Maria is a Graphic Designer living in sunny Philadelphia, PA with his fiance Liz and three cats. Someday he hopes to join the circus as the resident geek, but would settle on being a roustabout for a time. Jason is most certainly available for work. If you are looking to merely win his favor or to persuade him, he is easily won over by candied offerings. Though he is purportedly open to bartering, wild bets, and challenges involving feats of strength, Jason survives as a soldier of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire him.
Jason is a card carrying member of Happy Cog Studios. This status grants him access to most black-tie galas and groundbreaking ceremonies.
