You will note that I have not been doing much disseminating of material
through the conventional media in the last few years - in sharp contrast
to what I have done throughout my career.
In the case of The Millennial Mosaic, I consciously have encouraged media
to deal with Joel and Monetta, two Gen Xers who provide good youthful faces for the book.
More generally, when it has come to my survey results and other material,
I have come to appreciate the revolution that has taken place
with respect to public dissemination possibilities,
and have increasingly been making use of social media,
while happy to continue to engage conventional media,
when it is in our mutual interests to do so.
It's amazing to me how material can be shared effectively,
this side of television and radio appearances,
along with the print possibilities.
Spend endless hours pursuing such means of disseminating my work.
Somehow things seem far less difficult - and far more effective - these days!
I stopped listing media appearances as of 2020.
What follows will probably be shifted to my archives in the next while....
