For many, many years, I had almost no access to any kind of comic journalism, relying on things like Stan's Soapbox or Dick Giordano's Meanwhile column or Tharg's Nerve Centre for my comic news. <br /><br />I can still remember how excited I was to find my first ever issue of Wizard magazine.<br /><br />So, compared to that, the quality and amount of journalism is better than ever.

There is never going to be one site that offers all things to all people.<br /><br />Not that this is anything new - it's the same in print. You could just read the New York Times or The economist of the Timaru Herald, but you really only get the big pictures by looking around and getting other perspectives on various matters. Web journalism is no different.Bob Temukahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09181473725170489213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394310461939093453.post-12410158590885537952010-10-01T08:44:31.390+13:002010-10-01T08:44:31.390+13:00Good stuff.

First time I've seen someone make the argument that the journalism is better/deeper than ever, but it fits.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05734361945694475981noreply@blogger.com
