I liked this piece just fine. The "gasp, paywall!" stuff isn't as interesting to me as what she seems to be saying about the extended mismatch between perceived mission and resulting product. Also, the fact that Variety seemed to be spending loads of cash through a general economic down period seems like it should be important.
* not comics: via Devlin Thompson comes a link to this site's posting of an ad featuring Mort Weisinger's Miss America pageant book.
* Colleen Doran
