    I also think advertisers have to decide what kind of options they want. If you only want chronic wankers who never leave the house, by all means, advertisers, continue to shift all your dollars to the web.

    I dunno, Mr. Boy, I think there's some merit to what Dave is saying, but to me the problem is that he's describing a viable model for a weekly/monthly/quarterly publication that doesn't expect to make much money. Still, that vs. a daily paper that doesn't make ANY money . . .

    In reply to Dave Eggers Confident that America's Literature-Devouring Youth Will Save Print
    It's not an illogical argument to think that in a world where every yahoo can publish something to the web that the physical obstacles to (quality) printing will make it so only "the good shit" makes it to print. Or that, over time, we'll view what little print we have left as a bit more highbrow or something.



    Of course, to get there, we have to finish killing off all of the shitty magazines that still have yet to die, somehow, inexplicably.



    We could do worse things than listen to a guy who owns a profitable periodical, profitable publishing company, and runs non-profit reading centers in like 12 cities about where print's headed.

    @wertherian: Really, a print model only sets the barrier of entry at "shit that can be commercialized," not "shit that has merit."

    Although I love Eggers and didn't realize he was getting better-looking with age.

    Making the argument that the web is destined to replace paper -- in a post where technical difficulties cause most comments to be rejected -- is a worthy commentary of its own, isn't it.

    @skahammer: Speaking of which, has anyone else experienced the behaviour where your comment is erased if you click outside of the comment box (say to scroll up to re-read something you want to reference)? Unless it's just me and some weird browser compatibility issue, not cool.

    As usual, Los Angeles will go on allowing NYC to think it's the better city. You can have your "better journalism," we'll be at happy hour on the beach, with pretty people in bikinis...while the sun's shining.

    @Perhaps Not: Everyone leaves out Memphis. Best BBQ in World. Elvis Death Day. The most racially and socially segregated city in the world. Usually beating out detroit and DC for violent crimes and murders. One of the larger drug trade cities next to Miami. Large drug trade crossroads. Jerry Lawler. The Ford Family. Awesome gang warfare. Crooked vice cops. Steamboats.
