The Atlantic desperately needs interns to help James Fallows with his scintillating deconstructions of State of the Union speeches [www.theatlantic.com]
and find places to mention that he was Jimmy Carter's speechwriter thirty years ago.
"why would anyone want to learn about The Interwebs Media from The Atlantic?"
I submit James Fallows technology writings in the Atlantic as value and leading edge insight. His articles on early web development and Java in the mid 90's both educated and entertained.
@Dave Lawrence: Yeah, Fallows' recommendation of OS/2 was spot-on. He's another guy who doesn't really know much about technology writing about it in a national outlet.
FUCK THIS. seriously. and besides the whole slavery angle, why would anyone want to learn about The Interwebs Media from The Atlantic? It's like trusting the Amish to give you driving lessons. (With all due respect to The Atlantic, which I dearly love.)
@JesseFenderburg: I have to say i'm with you on both scores. I love the Atlantic--it's my go-to source for commentary, analysis, and irrelevant book reviews by Christopher Hitchens. But digital media? Maybe not so much.
But did you notice the part about guiding user debates in the comments section and Aggregating interesting material from across the Web? Isn't that pretty much what goes on at Gawker? and now they're pruning us back like so much dead wood. Gawker's just jealous. Yeah, that's all, jealous. They want to distract us with bright shiny lies about the Atlantic, yeah, that's it. bright shiny lies, yeah. And then when we're not looking--sniiiick! goes the guillotine blade.
