This article would be worth posting simply for the rare third-party media mention of Tumblr that is both accurate and positive. But it's well worth reading how an alliance of principled journalists and executives banded together to save America's best-known satire publication, and their plans to revitalize the Onion by taking it back to its roots.
So while at #xoxofest the past few days I saw this fantastic podcast (well I read the transcript) of a Verge interview with the new people who are running The Onion. It is very much the leading with Joy and building a lifestyle sustainable creative business that much of the conference and speakers here have been talking about as well.
It's a double bill of a video! First, we talk about The Verge controversially previewing Deadlock without Valve's blessing and the nontroversy that followed. Then, we discuss the recent rerelease of Doom/Doom II, and the lack of oversight that led to a lot of credit stolen from modders. Oh what fun!
