One of the most amazing pieces of journalism in the digital era, produced by the New York Times. The combination of immersive media and investigative journalism is both compelling and deep.

CNN RENOVATES
CNN is no longer the dominant force in news it once was. One reason is that Ted Turner is no longer in charge; Turner was a television visionary who never stopped improving and evolving.

One of the very best publications ever, New York Magazine, has announced that it will change it’s publishing frequency from weekly to bi-weekly. This is a huge loss(but not a big shock, since the cost of putting out a weekly publication is enormous). The move will save the magazine $3.5 million a year, but for magazine lovers, it means 26 less issues of memorable content and attitude a year. Adam Moss continues as Editor; the money saved goes into the digital version, which is growing quickly. You can read the full story here.
