Despair & The New “Anti-Media"

So, to end on a mildly dismal and “current” note about the world of blogging, if you’re a reader of Gawker or any of the blogs in the ever-growing Gawker Media stable, or ever briefly entertained the dubious idea of spending your early 20s working for near-minimum wage as a writer/blogger in a misguided post-collegiate haze, then perhaps you’ll find Vanessa Grigoriadis’ recent cautionary tale in New York Magazine, “Everybody Sucks: Gawker and the rage of the creative underclass,” of slight interest. If not, the moral of the story is simple: stay far away from blogging, especially in New York, unless, of course, self-destruction is your thing.
