I was reminded by a former coworker that yesterday was the one-year anniversary of our dear old departed mag folding.
I remember that day fairly vividly: the confusion when my direct deposit paycheck didn&#8217;t go into my account (once in the office we were handed &#8220;live checks&#8221; by the suits who came to deliver the bad [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a sad day at the New York Times today. The announcement was made that 100 people in the newsroom (currently 1250 folks) will have to accept a buyout by the end of the year—or there will be layoffs to reach that number.
Somehow appropriately, editor Bill Keller was out sick (this whole [...]]]></description>

Michelle and Mike, cofounders of the project (they&#8217;re also, sweetly, a couple) want to humanize the &#8220;6.7 million unemployed people&#8221; statistic. As a physical representation of that number, they&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

You know that book by Cormac McCarthy—it was also a movie with, I think, Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz—yep, that&#8217;s right, All the Pretty Horses.

Remember when Magazine Editor was like, the dreamiest dream job around?  The one that all the rom-com characters in movies (the pretty, smart, successful ones who dressed well and had handsome boyfriends and really tricked-out day planners) were assigned?
