I believe the website is called Political Newsline not Political Newsvine.

Comment on Vanity Fair On The Blogosphere by Susanna K.

VF has always struck me as the embodiment of old media, the old guard, the bastion of the producers vs. consumers model. After all, people read their magazine to see what “the insiders” are thinking and doing, correct? So it’s interesting to see their take on news & gossip blogs.

I also see they’re still a bit clueless in the tech department, as that page tried to take over my browser and maximize the window. Very much fits into the we-know-better model rather than the user-knows-best model of content delivery.

Interestingly, the only 2 blogs on there I actually subscribe to are on opposite ends of the bottom half (GFY and Sartorialist). But I do read a lot of the blogs in the upper right quadrant, usually via aggregators.

Actually you’re right, and you should be surprised. Vanity Fair usually does a whole lot better research in their magazine on non-fashion aritcles, and it’s good that you’re calling them on it. To repair their credibility as experts on the topic they could publish a reader-generated list. They could even incorporate celebrity opinions on their top ten blogs and do a whole issue. If they do it, make sure you get your cut.

Thanks, Kathy! There seems to be a little swell of interest in this, so I better get the web site and blog going, huh?

Comment on Phototampering Throughout History by yesbuts

Thanks for posting this link.

Very thought provoking.

I remember at the time, the debate over the photo of Chairman Mao swimming with thousands of young Chinese in the Yangtze River.

I can’t remember his name, but he died a few months ago, and was one time Chairman of the Magnum Photographic Agency, and famous War photographer. He wouldn’t use digital or even crop his shots, he would hold up a negative and prove “what I shot is what you see”.
