Go Read This TOO | The Misleading “Research” By McSweeney’s

Worth reading this, it pretty much hits all the thoughts I had on reading the McSweeney’s material!

Let’s be clear: I don’t think print will die.

But that’s no reason to concoct “research” about publishing that says “almost all of the news is good, and most of it is very good.”

That’s what McSweeney’s has done with their series on “The State of Publishing” or “Some Good News From the World of Books.”

    Great blog Eoin, and a great rebuke to an astonishingly wishful thinking post on McSweeney’s.

      That’s the phrase for the McSweeny’s articles alright. Wishful thinking!
