So this is what they mean by Internet time. This past May, Jim Romenesko, who for the past decade has published a 'zine about fanzines and news of the weird both in print and on the Web, decided to reorganize his burgeoning section of media news. And it was an immediate hit. Content have all had nice things to say about it. Now it's over.
People are afraid it's going to turn academic.
I don't believe it will. I confess to having been immediately hooked after I saw that he'd included me in his list of media columnists, right between the Boston Globe 's Mark Jurkowitz and the Washington Post 's Howard Kurtz. The move to Poynter should certainly improve Romenesko's personal life. Now his avocation will be his day job. It was always such a race against time to put together new pages every morning.
