"And what is an editor but one who flings about him the sturdy thunders and lightning of admonition until he resembles a bunch of firecrackers petulantly uttering its mind at the tail of a dog.”
—Ambrose Bierce, the old Gringo

(Austin American/Statesman) commenting on the demise of Gourmet magazine:
With so many recipes online as it is, will bloggers eventually replace food magazines altogether? Don't bet your blogspot address on it. Husni* says that because technology allows anyone to create content, including recipes, magazines are in a place to save audiences from the mediocre content that readers are bombarded with. Everyone wants to focus on the Web and social media, but 90 percent of revenue is still coming from print, he says.
