Some Monday links
Here are some media-related links for your amusement:
1. A gay porn company has been exposed in an HIV scandal, resulting in several DVDs being taken off the market.
2. Apparently The New Yorker is on a hiring binge, welcoming in two new writers: Ariel Levy and Kelefa Sanneh. Since that’s my dream job, I’m definitely jealous.
3. If there was an award for melodramatic blog posts, this one would get it. Will a Gawker media blog cause a string of suicides? Not likely, though he does make some good points.
4. This article isn’t about media or journalism, but should be read as an example of what excellent new journalism is.
5. Why it would be stupid for a media company to try and buy up an A-list blog.
