Whales as Spectacle

(Image from KNTV)

On May 17, I was interviewed by KNTV (NBC 11) about media coverage of two whales that have wandered upriver to Sacramento. In the story I was able to discuss notions of media spectacle and virtual community. Reporter Garvin Thomas was kind enough to send me a link to a Google Video archive of the piece.
