dance this mess around
Sad news in the media world today. My former employer Creative Loafing has filed for bankruptcy protection. The company is $40 million in debt. Ouch.
Another former employer, HX, is also in the weeds, with news that it might be closing its struggling Boston paper. (I'm actually not too shocked by that one, given my experience at HX.)
Seems like things are tough all over for print journalism. I was a skeptic for a long time that the medium of words on paper was actually in danger, but it appears now that the prophets of doom may have been right all along. Perhaps we really are witnessing the end of an era.
That said, here's my newest illustration for the Loaf's crime report, involving a street preacher with some fancy footwork who was distracting drivers on Boulevard. Enjoy it while it lasts.
