Jack Mitchell
Jack Mitchell has been jousting with establishment media and political power brokers since the early days of the 2007 NH Primary. As a grassroots activist with “Veterans for Obama,” Mitchell sharpened his new media edges skirmishing on a prominent NH Blog against other activists and “machine Democrats.”
By 2009, new media venues in Lowell were seriously challenging the dominance of legacy media. The variety of perspectives and personalities of Lowell’s Bloggers did not neatly mesh with the narratives and frames that where being spun. Mitchell thrived in this environment and, over a decade, carefully stumbled his way into becoming a dreaded establishment figure in his own right.
Eventually, Jack noted the limits of blogging, with a scourge of anonymous trash talkers. So he translated his voice over to Social Media, creating the Lowell Live Feed Forum Facebook Group, realizing the potential of Facebook as a tool to organize and influence.
