New Media Strategies is located in the same building as WJLA-TV: 1100 Wilson Boulevard in Rosslyn. Which means, since this is anchor Kathleen Matthews’ last day on the job, we’re all part of the building-wide reflection and observation. Wander outside our highrise for a few moments on this beautiful late November day and look up. You’ll see the WJLA news ticker devoted to saying nice things about Kathleen Matthews — and the huge jumbo TV screen devoted to a loop of her on-air highlights, including a clip of her singing with the Beach Boys. [UPDATE: Kathleen on the 5 p.m. news tonite talking about the Jumbotron: “I couldn’t believe it when I drove into work today and saw it there.”] Very touching, but I haven’t seen this much state idolatry since the Chernenko funeral. Ha! Good one, eh?
