Print is dead and all content wants to be free — two bogeymen of the digital age, with some edge of truth, but based on current visibility, still unlikely at those extremes. But it’s undeniable that the economics of print publishing are very different today than what they were before the web, and more content is available for free on the web than any media company could ever have imagined.Most of the discussion about the future of print publishing and paid content centers on the content, which makes sense, but the content hasn’t really changed that much (despite the emergence of some new forms) — nor do I think the value of content has changed in the minds of content consumers, e.g. people who value journalism still value it — their numbers haven’t diminished as so many fear.What’s changed radically is the value of DISTRIBUTION.For many people who paid for print publications, including newspapers, magazines, and books, a significant part of the value was in the distributi
TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta: The government said that the cooperation of illegal logging eradication with Malaysia has not yet progressed. So far the police and Indonesia's Forestry Police have played an active role in preventing the entrance of illegal logging to Malaysia. In the meantime, Malaysia tends to remain quiet. Forestry Minister, Malem Sambat Kaban said that so far the government is still facing difficulties cooperating with Malaysia. “They appear to be ignorant of the origin of the logs from Indonesia that entered Malaysia,” said Kaban in Jakarta yesterday.The proof is that the logs that entered Malaysia obtained an official stamp from the customs officers in Malaysia. After being stamped, the illegal logs from Indonesia were automatically considered legal. This condition, h
I'll eat it later! I've got to leave for an appointment uptown! I'm going to use my automobile! I might eat it along the way if I'm stuck in traffic or hit a red light. I tend to speed through yellow lights. If I don't eat it along the way, I may eat it before I actually enter the building! Or, I may wait until after my appointment! After my appointment, I'll be driving myself home!Okay, Wes, take the candy or don't. No one is asking you to deliver a thesis here. I'll bet she never makes the mistake of offering Wes candy again!
Woohoo! Looks like I got my wish. Spring/Summer has sprung!Today, I had to work so my outfit wasn't exactly up to par. That said, I did get a lil' summery. I worse some black pants, black strappy wedges, a black and white graphic-y babydoll top, and a chunky black necklace. Not too bad for my first spring/summer outfit of the year.Mainly, I wanted to post about some Spring fashion trends in honor of this d-lish day.So, here we go. My top 5 trends of the season.Trend #1:Forever 21, $22.80Floral prints. It sounds obvious for springtime, but this year you've got to run out and get yourself a little tunic or dress with a bold floral print. Find a piece with bright colors, rather than muted pastel hues. Trend #2: Target, $22.99 Polka dots! This is my fave. For a classic look, go for black with white polka dots--But brave gals should try brighter unpredictable colors. Trend #3:Banana Republic, $148.00Black & white. High contrast duds are hot this season. I love the look of a monochro
