    College newspapers should all go online. That’s where their readership is. The colleges pay for the network infrastructure. The work is volunteer. All subsequent ad money is gravy.

    That is the exact same clip art the massage lady at my workplace uses. And our massage lady is a MAN. I guess when he googled "clip art man rubbing another man's shoulders" he didn't like what he got.

    The only way to run Fishbowl DC is from NYC. I assume Gavin will write for Politico from NYC, too, right? Because, you know, DC sucks.

    Lilly Allen quote: "The only story is that drugs are bad and they will kill you - you will become a prostitute, a rapist or a dealer. But that's not true. I know lots of people who take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work. But we never hear that side of the story. I wish people wouldn't sensationalise it. Some people are just bad at taking drugs."

    I'm pro-life, so I'll get hammered for that no matter what, so I'll leave any commentary on that out. I'll just praise him for his jazz writing.


    If you want to argue his work on politics, his take on things in Hillsdale publications is interesting.

    Being "pro-life" has a lot more to it than just the abortion issue, but I don't really want to get into the nuance here.

    Whatever. I love that this romantic, retarded notion of NYC as theeeee place where interesting/important people of liberal leaning come to live together after college in order to achieve some dream of working for the "glossies" or getting a book deal or being an artist is being destroyed. Absolutely love it. The world and New York City changed years ago. Get over it. Move on. You can live anywhere and work in media or be an artist. I swear!

    @youngmarblegiant: You realize where you are, right? Maybe the fact that you couldn't find a "Pennsylvania Media News and Gossip" blog should tell you something?


    Or alternatively, maybe you can start one yourself. If the media's so pervasive everywhere, you can't miss!

    You used to be able to move here and take on shifts as a bartender or work as a proofreader, or waitress or hostess, get up late the next day and write a column or review for the Voice (or a competing free weekly that everyone read), and you'd get better and better. Then you'd parlay that into writing for one of the glossies, and then you'd get an essay in a book--so exciting!--and then you'd write your own book. Then another. And you were a writer.


    Which leads me to this question that is now being asked over and over again: Why the fuck should creative people come to New York anymore?

    or did you mean actual creative people, and not "creative" people


    after the 1998 dotcom crash so many of the skateboard punk rockers went home to ohio that it was actually kind of a good thing; a darwinian winnowing of those with more attitude than talent


    this time around though it seems like even if you had skills and money in the bank, so many are so screwed in every possible direction
