Good Times
It’s been a while, yes. We’re selling our house and moving to San Francisco (more on that in a later post) so the past month has been, to say the least, busy. Then there’s that work thing. At Numetrics, we’ve been working diligently to launch a new software product, and that’s just crazy nuts. Which [...]
Where the editors are
The great editorial diaspora is yielding some interesting stories. While there’s still plenty of pain out there among seasoned reporters and editors who have lost their jobs in the big meltdown, many are finding their way.

Perel writes about his publication’s tireless efforts to break former presidential [...]
Dear Trade Press Editors: Get with the Program
This is an open letter to members of my favorite guild, the trade press. Ladies and gentlemen: Please get with the program. It’s 2010 and it’s time to morph your tremendous skills into the modern age, where social media is keenly important to your medium. This is not just about creating a Twitter feed and [...]
Has the advertising free-fall slowed?
Don’t break out the Champagne just yet, but signs are emerging that perhaps the advertising collapse for newspapers and magazines is slowing and leveling off. Still, publications have a long way to go to get with the program. The Wall Street Journal reported this week: A year-end flurry of ad spending helped moderate steep declines [...]
