]]> <![CDATA[Stuff Happening To Magazines, Say Magazine People Again And Again]]> I do hope that one day there will be a full-hearted rising of the plebes to overthrow the magazine industry. I mean, seriously, are we supposed to sympathize with, say, New York Magazine's endless indentifying/butt-fucking of the zeitgeist. Do trees really need to be killed so as to tell readers that latest spot in NYC for people to build condos on top of the dead bodies of the displaced working class.

Does anybody have a Che Guvera T-shirt I can borrow? I'm feeling rebelish this morning!

And then all of the veteran editors sit around and wonder why all of their Ralph Lauren advertisement-esque staffers are very "aspirational looking" but troublesomely dumb as rocks.

]]> <![CDATA[Stuff Happening To Magazines, Say Magazine People Again And Again]]> Love that last paragraph...I'm entranced by your utopian visions.

And I'd definitely read a whole magazine about that utopia while I poop.

]]> <![CDATA[Stuff Happening To Magazines, Say Magazine People Again And Again]]> So, really, what's the difference between Denton and any other writers around here? Or any of the writers and the commenters? The lines are now irreversibly blurred. We all get the same newspapers and think the same things while reading them. It's just that some of us are making money off of Battlestar Galactica while doing it. While others make less money, and some of us make no money.

Me, I'd rather make money.

]]> <![CDATA[Stuff Happening To Magazines, Say Magazine People Again And Again]]> Good article by Doree, but what's with all the anonymous sources? She isn't exactly legitimizing herself as a blogger-turned-reporter with all the unnamed references to young editors.
