Media Monitor: White pow(d)er… and more

The accidental Aryan: When a threatening letter and white powder were mailed to John McCain’s suburban Denver campaign office, an on-screen typo at an NBC station read “White power sent to McCain office.” One commenter here says he/she saw it on CNN as well, although a second Flickr user shows a screen-capture from an NBC station. The white powder was deemed non-hazardous. (In related news, someone threw “several bricks” and paint through the window of Barack Obama’s St. Paul campaign office; no one was hurt.)

Everywhere signs: The UnConvention’s My Yard, Our Message project has delivered signs and they’re appearing in front yards around town, as well as on the hillside next to the Walker Art Center. Use the group’s GoogleMap to see where they ended up.

Romenesko’s redesign: The Poynter Institute’s website redesign gives slightly better front-page prominence for j-blogger Jim Romenesko, but his page is a muddle of type, prompting Jay Rosen, NYU journalism professor and PressThink blogger to tweet that it’s “lost in a sea of type. Hate it.”
