Vogue’s flattering profile on Assad’s wife disappears from Web

The firm, Brown Lloyd James, was paid $25,000 to set up a photo session with James Nachtwey, the famed war photographer… via...
Content no longer demands to be free- It wants a fee
Five and ten years ago we were wondering whether people would ever pay for digital media. But now the question isn’t whether people, young and old, will pay — it’s how the hell to figure out how much to charge them… via Nieman Journalism Lab. Buying a new website?

We are still not very sophisticated in our visual way of experiencing the world and want to reduce things to black and white and right and wrong dualities. via Conscientious. Read...
You Can’t Recreate The Past
No matter how fast you shovel digital dirt into the chasm of print loss, you can’t recreate the past; you can’t fill the hole.
