+ Can't believe I'm hearing this but Hearst is threatening to close or sell the San Francisco Chronicle. Meanwhile back at the LA Times, Editor David Lauter sends out a memo on how the California-less LAT will work (FYI : LAT recently killed the California section). Plus Ed Padgett breakdown the 212 laid off.
+ Conde Nast is having more problems. Seems like their 5% cut should have been closer to 20%. Vogue is down 29%, Wired down 57%, Vanity Fair down 32% and Portfolio a whopping 60% decrease ! Only title to have risen ? Golf World, up 16.5%...what, the times go bad and people go golfing ?
+ New blogs...okay, new to me, LACMA's "Unframed" which started in Sept 2008 and LiveBook's "Resolve" which was just launched this month. I like the LACMA one which keeps me up to date over there and LiveBook's ain't too bad - they cover relevant topics from commercial to fine art.
+ British Journal of Photography announces FujiFilm has confirmed that their new medium format camera GF670 will be release outside of Japan in May. I posted images of this camera a while back and it has a cool retro-look to it.
+ Over at Reuters's blog, they talk to staff photographer Mario Anzuoni about the coverage of the red carpet. I don’t need 40 images of a star standing in front of me; just a dozen or so. That freedom allows me to look around for other opportunities while everyone else is snapping away.
+ Finally, want a free 8x8 26 page photo book ? AdoramaPix has a 24 hour offer (expires Thursday 10:50 am PST). Catch ? You have to sign up on Twitter and DM (Direct Message) them. Full details here.
