The Word is out - The Word meaning the monthly arts and culture magazine published by Nick Ross right here in Saigon. And no sooner did the Word get out that the entire staff here at the Wild Wild East Dailies (that means me) was happy to see their story on The Death of Print by Tim Russel. Causes of death, similar to those of the Michael Jackson case, have yet to be determined but the prime subjects in the investigation are blogs. Blogs like this one. The story begins like this: "Newspapers, apparently, are dying. Just as 30 years ago the punk hord
es swept away the dinosaurs of progressive rock, so today the traditional press is being blown out of the water by news feeds, bloggers and citizen journalists." Make sure to give the story a look. The Wild Wild East Dailies are nicely mentioned and the race to the top of the journalistic pile is on. Also notice the crafty illustration of Othello Kanh, deep in thought at his laptop. Luckily, I've never referred to the writings here as anything remotely close to journalism and with your help I intend to keep it that way. I'm continuously pleased by the comments and notes I receive from you all that encourage me to stay on the fringe, report from the left and generally wallow in the seemingly marijuana induced stupor that has become the style du jour at WWED. You can join the group FOWWED (Friends of the Wild Wild East Dailies) on Facebook or get a free subscription in the sidebar here. Word up! My friends. Read it and weep.For more on blogs, blogging and bloggers, check here:
