Publishing Spotted: I'm a Believer

After years of reading and thinking about The Believer magazine, I finally landed my first story in one of my all-time favorite magazines (MediaBistro asked me how I did it). If you get a chance, check out my new piece, "Skinning the Americans," about horrific radio horror dramas:

"I discovered an eerily similar story buried in a sixty-year-old radio program. Recorded in 1942 for the radio show Lights Out, the drama was broadcast under familiar circumstances: one year after a terrorist attack on Pearl Harbor and one year into an uncertain war. The show opened with radio writer Arch Oboler warning his audience: 'We urge you calmly, but very sincerely, if you frighten easily, turn off your radio now.'"

Now that you've wrapped up a summer of breezy beach reads, you might want to check out The World's Longest Book--a three million page opus by Richard Grossman that will be coming to performance spaces around the world. (Thanks, Millions)

After you sick of hearing how bloggers are only good for opinions and news aggregation? Ed Champion spotted these essays about some hard-hitting bloggers (like Ed) who aren't afraid to interview, chase sources, or report a story. Follow all three links for blogging gold: "Jay Rosen on the journalism that bloggers do. And here’s more from Scott Rosenberg. (Latter link via Books, Inq.)"
