The Daily Pitchfork Is Live
I’ve been alluding to this project for a while now and, finally, it has come to fruition. I introduce you to The Daily Pitchfork. The site is dedicated to evaluating and exploring the intersection of animals and the media. To keep up with my posts, you should head to the site and subscribe (it’s free) and stay tuned to this site for upcoming interviews and guest posts. Thanks, and I look forward to your feedback. I also thank you in advance for spreading the word.

Media studies is the hottest thing in academia and sexier if outside of the Academy so I do not blame you for venturing afield and pursuing what interests you. The chance to transform thought also is potentially greater than here. I ask only that the Maher Rule be displayed on a post-it note over everyone’s laptop: When humans start discussing animals, the animal escapes the conversation after the second comment.
Suggest you ask Giovanni Aloito guest post.
A great new venture. Let the terms of discussion be open to reveal what is actually being discussed and not controlled by normalized and coded references to how critters are used.
I agree, this is an opportunity to emphasize how the media ignores animals. In the case of grass-fed beef, a discussion of methane emissions quickly gets lost in conflicting studies. From the viewpoint of wildlife, grassfed ranching is far more destructive of habitat than CAFOs. Not that anyone should be supporting CAFOs, of course, but it puts the issue in a different perspective when we realize how many species suffer from the livestock industry.
Where to subscribe to The Daily Pitchfork? Could not locate it on the site.
And where exactly on the website do we subscribe? I don’t see a place for that.
Yeah. Troubleshooting that now.

Ditto – please let us know how to subscribe.
Sounds exciting and much needed.
Ms. Neiman was featured on KPCC-FM – Los Angeles, interviewed by Larry Mantle this morning Jan 6, 11:30pm to 12 noon. Listened but call-ins were already too busy to take MY call. NOT a SINGLE mention of ANIMAL cruelty/slaughter – just business of grass fed cattle and climate change/methane et al.,
Thanks. I look forward to subscribing.
All I could see was to follow on Facebook or Twitter. ?
I cant see where on Pitchfork to subscribe.
