Media writers ignore the pornography industry
I’ve noticed for some time now that most media writers ignore the pornography industry completely, even though it makes up a sizable portion of most kinds of media — internet, film, DVD, magazines,television, books. I think that this is a mistake, since an industry that large probably has an influential effect on other kinds of media. Media writers simply pretend that it doesn’t exist.
So in 2008, I intend on covering the industry more often. Certainly not all the time, and this isn’t going to become an X-rated blog or anything…I’ll keep it tasteful. But I think it would be silly to focus so much on online media while simply ignoring all the sex-related google search terms that bring people to this blog.

I see pornograpgy as a media genre. Like drama, romance or horror. A genre, I think, might have an impact on the microbehavior of a medium (increase distribution or expand in other media) but doesn’t influence the macrobehavior of media (meaning their structure, interaction, production, etc).
I’m eager to see the way you’ll approach this sexy subject.
