Re: [MOPO] OT-Greg Douglass, Poster Geek Recovering Rock Star, in UK for 2 ...
Had the pleasure of catching up with Greg on the London leg of his tour on Monday. A real class act, and great to see top musicians who can really PLAY blending together so perfectly. Being the true MOPO-nut that he is, though, Greg was much more interested in talking posters than listen to my fawning compliments about his guitar-wielding prowess. I came away with the impression that he's a Jolly Nice Bloke, as we Brits like to say. But I know I shouldn't let that fool me. Behind that friendly, sensitive facade there surely lies a bat-crunching, demon-worshipping, flesh-eating, blood-lusting, virgin-despoiling, mutant rock 'n' roll zombie from outer space that would make Freddie Krueger blush. Why, the man even did a gig at Whitby, spiritual home of Dracula. Tom Martin has warned us about this in the past, and Tom don't tell no lie. That said, I can only add to the recommendations already made by others to go see Greg if he's touring in your vicinity in the future. At your own risk. Greg - I guess you're back home now. Hope you and the band had a good time in our rain-sodden isle, and that you follow through with your threat to return to the UK next year. Although maybe take a couple of days break next time, so I can bore you to tears with my meagre collection of paper scraps. Paul _www.movieposterstudio.com_ (http://www.movieposterstudio.com) P.S.

Re: [MOPO] R.I.P. Movie Collector's World 1976-2012
Yup, sadly, the end of print media is happening somewhat sooner, though only by a year or two, than most were predicting. (I have to say I've been surprised the newsweeklies have even lasted this long. A weekly newsmagazine? In the age of the Internet and the 24-hour news cycle?) That said... As a cartoonist and freelance writer I've made all or some of my living in print for most of my adult life. That ended earlier this year when the alt weekly I cartooned for was shuttered by its corporate masters. At a cartoonists convention a scant week after that, one of Canada's best-known editorial cartoonists predicted that the paper he works for won't even exist, in print form or maybe in any form, in three years.

True, much of the today's news can now be had from trending twitter hashtags, but you all are ignoring the fact that the convenience of instant access sacrifices quality and considerably so. You cannot find better reporting than that of the NY Times period; you may of course argue that the internet can make up for this loss, but such wouldn't change the fact that it is the newsprints that are the most informative and do a better job than any website (or string of websites for that matter) possibly can. And I'm probably younger than most of you (still in college), so shame shame shame, pick up a paper.

The same New York Times that declared on a page 1 story in 2002 that the Bush Administration had proof of WMDs in Iraq? for fun, some of the corrections the paper of record has made this year (and yes many of these are on smaller non-page one pieces, and lots of papers whether in print or online make mistakes, but most of them don't hold themselves to the same standards as the NYT): ? Confused Cyprus, the country, with cypress, the tree. ? Ran an article about appreciating the beauty of cherry trees, accompanied by a picture of crab apple trees. ? Erroneously asserted that during World War II, Britain had a marketing slogan. ? Mistook the Jersey City waterfront for the Manhattan skyline. ? Understated the Eurozone bailout by $667 billion. ? Understated the revenue gain from ending tax cuts for the rich by $798 billion. Reporter responsible, would you like to be on the Republican ticket? ? Understated the likely cost of Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act by $1.2 trillion. Reporter responsible, would you like to be on the Democratic ticket? ? In an article about retirement funding, used an estimate that was off by $1.2 trillion. ? Misstated the number of presidents with 6 letters in their first names. ? Unfairly accused the Canadian Pacific Railroad of planning to start a thermonuclear war. ? Admitted a Page 1 article was based on a substantial error in the use of statistics. Topic of the article? Educational standards. ? Incorrectly declared that passengers departing a plane from San Juan to New York City must go through Customs because they might bring items to the United States from Puerto Rico. ? Incorrectly declared that a bachelor party had been held at Legoland. -Original Message- From: Peter D'Antonio [mailto:pe...@dantonios.net] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2012 02:50 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] R.I.P.

Re: [MOPO] R.I.P. Movie Collector's World 1976-2012
Hate to make predictions, but I think the print edition of the New York Times will fail and they'll go all-digital within five years. Its parent company is bleeding red ink every day despite the fact that its website is among the most visited on the entire Internet. To stem the bleeding, it recently put up a paywall that limits readers to 10 articles a month, but there are many workarounds for that. When people have a choice with their pocketbooks, they won't pay for something - no matter how liked - that they can get for free. Conversely, the WSJ, which has always had a paywall - continues to post gains with its print AND digital editions - and remains the largest circulation daily in the U.S. with a whopping 2.1 million print subscribers and growing. It's puzzling to see the fortunes of the 2 most dominant papers in the U.S. moving in opposite directions. However one feels about the infamous Ruper Murdoch, the WSJ - to my eyes, anyway - has not changed into a tabloid filled with screeds and diatribes - like you still find in other Murdoch papers in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia. The character of the WSJ has changed visually, with color pages throughout and way more features about movies, auctions and the arts; but its political biases are firmly stuck in its editorial and letters-to-the-editor sections, (which I tend to skip) - and not in places like Arts and Leisure in competing national papers. I think the only other daily national newspaper that may survive five years from now - will be USA Today, which strikes me as a headline service (sort of like TV) - for travelers and people on the go. -d.

A few years ago I boldly predicted that *ALL *magazines and newspapers would go out of business, and that all other hard copy media (books, CDs, DVDs, etc) were sure to follow. Back then a *LOT *of people told me that that they could *NEVER *imagine not reading a paper every day, and that no computer could ever replace it. And a good number of those people have already quit getting a paper! Also doomed are live auctions, because they are 18th Century technology that makes no sense in the present day.

But for those of us who have been in the hobby for decades, we remember so well those pre-Internet days when a large portion of the collectors and dealers subscribed to this then bulging publication, because it was THE number one way to buy and sell, and pretty much the most important day of the month was the one when MCW arrived! This really IS the end of an era. I want to publicly thank Brian Bukantis for publishing it the past 27 years, and for doing a superb job throughout that time (of course, the ONLY thing he couldn't overcome was the Internet, which is rapidly putting EVERY newspaper and magazine out of business, and Brian should be quite proud that he was able to continue publishing as long as he did). He is a great guy, both personally and professionally, and he added immeasurably to our hobby.

* I agree with Richard that an international following, with international editions published on every continent - matters. * But the more intriguing question for me is not the foregone conclusion that daily newspapers will be dead within five years - or, as you say, in less than 2 years. This phenomenon has been much debated among my journalist friends for more than 10 years, many of whom are still out of work. No, the more intriguing question is over WHICH newspapers and magazines will die faster than others - and why. * It wasn't long ago that - excluding USA Today - that the NY Times boasted the top circulation in America. During the past 7 years, the WSJ has blown past both papers and is the ONLY daily paper in America that has continuously posted circulation gains and profits in the face of an industry-wide downward spiral for newspapers and magazines. This is beyond WEIRD. Today, both the NYT and the WSJ have similar layouts and content - but the WSJ is viewed as a different animal that's essential to the average person as well as to businesses, large and small. * What the WSJ has done during the past 10 years is dump its stock listings printed in mouse type - and replaced them with business features that are green, that is, they aren't time sensitive. It is the only paper that from the beginning, embraced and stuck to the paywall model - while finding ways to prevent the cannibalizing print sales, which remain humongous, by selectively choosing what stays in print and what goes online. * Of course, this can't last forever and I too, foresee the day when even the WSJ will split 80-20 digital vs. print. But I'm optimistic that the WSJ will maintain a print edition longer - because of its consistent news you can use framework, jammed with undated features about careers, office politics, brown-nosers, tyrants, office and personal relationship tips, alimony, small business do's and don'ts, spotlighting trends in every industry sector, throwing in gobs of movie, theater, book, food and restaurant reviews, etc. It's no longer just a financial paper.

Movie Collector's World 1976-2012 To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU * I agree with Richard that an international following, with international editions published on every contin ent - matters. * But the more intriguing question for me is not the foregone conclusion that daily newspapers will be dead within five years - or, as Dave says, in less than 2 years. This phenomenon has been much debated among my journalist friends for more than 10 years, many of whom are still out of work. No, the more intriguing question is over WHICH newspapers and magazines will die faster than others - and why. * It wasn't long ago that - excluding USA Today - that the NY Times boasted the top circulation in America. During the past 7 years, the WSJ has blown past both papers and is the ONLY daily paper in America that has continuously posted circulation gains and profits in the face of an industry-wide downward spiral for newspapers and magazines. This is beyond WEIRD. Today, both the NYT and the WSJ have similar layouts and content- but the WSJ is viewed as a different animal that's essential to the average person as well as to businesses, large and small. * What the WSJ has done during the past 10 years is dump its stock listings printed in mouse type - and replaced them with business features that are green, that is, they aren't time sensitive. It is the only paper that from the beginning, embraced and stuck to the paywall model - while finding ways to prevent the cannibalizing print sales, which remain humongous, by selectively choosing what stays in print and what goes online. * Of course, this can't last forever and I too, foresee the day when even the WSJ will split 80-20 digital vs. print. But I'm optimistic that the WSJ will maintain a print edition longer - because of its consistent news you can use framework, jammed with *undated* features about careers, office politics, brown-nosers, tyrants, office and personal relationship tips, alimony, small business do's and don'ts, spotlighting trends in every industry sector, throwing in gobs of movie, theater, book, food and restaurant reviews, etc. It's no longer just a financial paper. I wrote at length about the weirdness of the WSJ on my blog: http://davidkusumoto.blogspot.com/2009/11/why-is-wsj-1-newspaper-in-america-its.html * When Murdoch bought News Corporation, I feared the worst for the WSJ. Predictions of doom and gloom and extreme-right-wing tirades on the front page haven't happened. I still enjoy the WSJ because to me, it still has an old-school discipline that hews more closely to CNN - than to the polarizing Fox News Channel, which Murdoch also owns. *In sum, daily newspapers and weekly magazines are dying, but I don't **yet believe that ALL of them will be wiped off the face of the earth. *In my view, digital will indeed dominate, but so long as papers like the WSJ continue to charge north of $200,000 for a full-page ad - and they keep getting it - some form of the print edition, however abbreviated, will survive. -- Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 00:30:19 +0100 From: evan...@mac.com Subject: Re: R.I.P. Movie Collector's World 1976-2012 To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU International following seen as key to survival. The Guardian (which I really hope will be a survivor) has 2/3 of its online readership outside the UK, and half of that is the US. Unfortunately, it's our Daily Mail with highest international online readership having recently overtaken NY Times. Feels like a good thing to me that I'm now in the habit of following various foreign news sources. I believe the news source that gets the lion's share of my time are the emovieposter club messages.

no argument from me Peter, but David was correct when he said earlier in this thread that news will be presented by bloggers and the like so that the Matt Drudges of the world on either side will be the newsmakers. fortunately for you and I we were lucky enough to enjoy the quality of great newspeople like Murrow, Rather, Cronkite, Schieffer et al. the future generations will look to Perez Hilton for their news. One day Snookie may be the highest paid whatever-you-want-to-call her type of stardom. but you see, here's the deal: the younger generations don't really care about news. They care about opinions. Theirs! the rest to them is just chatter and to read articles longer than 250 words will be an exercise. They weren't reading newspapers BEFORE print media started collapsing anyway. another way to look at what's happening. Fahrenheit 451 that's right! we are at Fahrenheit 451, but not because of a totalitarian government, because education and serious information is no longer sought after by the majority. the modern Roman war cry is Up Honey Boo-Boo, Down PBS At 06:50 PM 10/18/2012, Peter D'Antonio wrote: Yes, but if the Times were to switch to online format only, it is estimated that they would only be able to support 1/3 of their newsroom. You can't possibly believe that a 67% decrease in writers has a positive impact on the quality, or breadth of their reporting.

You cannot find better reporting than that of the NY Times period; you may of course argue that the internet can make up for this loss, but such wouldn't change the fact that it is the newsprints that are the most informative and do a better job than any website (or string of websites for that matter) possibly can.

As a cartoonist and freelance writer I've made all or some of my living in print for most of my adult life. That ended earlier this year when the alt weekly I cartooned for was shuttered by its corporate masters. At a cartoonists convention a scant week after that, one of Canada's best-known editorial cartoonists predicted that the paper he works for won't even exist, in print form or maybe in any form, in three years. Now it looks like he was being optimistic!
