This week a friend handed me a torn-out page of the April 25th (2011) New Yorker magazine’s column “Shouts & Murmurs” by John Gillespie.  Note that she didn’t email it to me, or post it (as I am about to do to all of you).  And I couldn’t resist sharing this lighter look at our industry’s very serious attempts to monetize content and reward hard-working writers and publishers, as we continue our transition to the electronic age of information.

Have a laugh with me, and thanks to Mr. Gillespie and the New Yorker.
