Today and tomorrow, for $699, you can attend panels at the Magazine Innovation Summit that include this one:
"The Decline and Rise of Magazine Journalism
How serious are the cultural challenges to the role and authority of magazine editors? Do readers prize the values and practices of journalism? What do the implications of citizen journalism mean for the business of magazines and the career path of journalists? Moderated by Jacob Weisberg, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief, The Slate Group. Panelists include Nick Denton, Gawker Media; Simon Dumenco, 'Media Guy' Columnist, Advertising Age and Susan Morrison, Articles Editor, The New Yorker."
"Snacks will be available for purchase."
"cultural challenges to the role and authority of magazine editors" Now what's that a euphemism for? Being forced into twelve step programs? Having your martini lunch budget cut?
being forced to eat lunch rather than drink it since food is cheaper than alcohol and then getting fired because you're fat.
There should be a representative of this news-aggregator site on the panel. I nominate the cat.
Finally, someone who can speak coherently on the whole n+1 debacle.
Only if the cat shows up wearing a dress made of condoms.
For $30 and a sandwich I'll tell you why your new media strategy "sucks ass."
i'll do it for $25 and a shot of espresso!
(nb this may or may not be your first test of said strategy's ass-sucking)
See this is the problem with new media right here. You should be asking for at least $500 + health insurance.
I'll do it for the sandwich.
"Do readers prize the values and practices of journalism?"
Oh, I see some reader-blaming coming up here.
Gladiator sandals FAIL.
Picture selection WIN.
