Noone tells you this when you start, but Twitter saps all your will to blog.

Anyway,

You may remember when I began this blog, well I reached the next milestone last week when I was without Internet.

In other news, back in March I wrote on an Atlantic article covering the paparazzi following Britney Spears.  The numbers have come in, and it looks like the issue bombed on the stands.  From Folio Mag:

“The Britney cover tanked, according to figures submitted by the Atlantic to the Audit Bureau of Circulations Rapid Report filing system late last month. The magazine sold approximately 24,000 copies at the newsstand, some 21,000 less than March and nearly 30,000 less than its January/February issue.”

So does this answer my question, are paparazzi the future of newsgathering? You could say that Atlantic readers aren’t interested in the sensationalism surrounding the Britney Spears media and are looking for something a little more in-depth and thoughtful, but look at these other recent covers (from the May and March issues):

Maybe Atlantic readers are just drawn by other kinds of sensationalism.
