Terrence Moss
I have a professional background in television advertising -- buying and selling media on a spot basis as well as on a direct response basis.
I have been a follower of television for as far back as I can remember and have gathered a lot of knowledge (as well as an opinion) through personal research and experience. My areas of expertise are in television comedies past and present, the emmy awards as well as prime-time.
Writing has always been part and parcel of my life from newspaper articles in eighth grade to daily newsletters for a summer program I participated in during college.
Many of my essays and short stories have been posted to Associated Content while one piece has been featured on mediaweek.com and another in the actual print version.
I also operate my own blog at terrencemoss.blogspot.com. Earlier blog entries can be found at myspace.com/the79show.
