SUMMARY: No summary available.
Steve Smith, former editor Min's New Media Report wrote in, "Thanks for the kind words in your Blog, but I have been more downsized than laid off. PBI is folding new media coverage into Min and Min's B2B, and I will be supplying both with weekly articles. Hey, if anyone should have seen this coming, it is someone reporting on the content business."

On one hand the fold is a bit sad for me personally, because I was on the launch team that started Min's New Media Report back in the mid-90s. On the other hand, maybe it's a signal that new media's finally come of age in the magazine industry because it's incorporated into Min's overall coverage rather than being stuck in a ghetto.

Steve added, "As for a blog, I am a great believer in the format and even wrote about it a couple of years ago as one of the great innovations for which the Web is responsible. On the other hand, as a confirmed opinionated wiseass and sharp-tongued critic of all media, I know better than to give myself an unedited, unfiltered megaphone for the top of my head. I would be hit by lawsuits and fiery emails by the end of the first day."
