OVERPOPULATION SOLVED

Trouble at my former place of employ:

The Bulletin has suffered a severe, if not fatal, blow with the resignation of its national affairs editor Tony Wright. Wright has accepted a similar position with The Age and will replace Michael Gordon, who is moving on to edit the Saturday paper.

Also quitting the 126-year-old ACP magazine is picture editor Roxy Holder, which takes the number of departures since the arrival of editor-in-chief John Lehmann to upwards of a dozen.

Actually, I think it might be upwards of 15. The place ain’t happy, for lots of reasons. Still, at least they’ve picked up Rob Hirst.

1. What exactly is John Lehmann up to?

2. Also quitting the 126-year-old ACP magazine

   How can a magazine evidently devoted to the Colt .45 (Automatic Colt Pistol) be 126 years old?  The weapon only came on line in 1911.

   The age of the magazine was derived from a study published in The Lancet

4. I used to buy and read the Bulletin. I stopped buying it about 2 years ago and began reading the web version. I no longer even do that. Australia does not have a decent news magazine.

5. ACP, eh? Are they planning to outsource their sub-editor jobs to New Zealand? It wouldn’t surprise me…

6. I still have a subscription running. I might start just tossing it in the bin without looking at it… however, I hold hope of good stuff in there every week…

   ...harrumph.

7. Just as well Kerry Packer champions the magazine or else they’d really be in trouble.

8. Bulletin, Shmulletin. Between the Blair blog and the Bolt blog and the Professional Cheerleader Blog, my news needs are thoroughly satisfied.

9. Who’s gonna hold their roxy now?

10. I’m surprised it’s still publishing. It’s neither fish nor fowl. BRW does money, the dailies do politics and the weekend supplements do the tedious literary posturing stuff and reviews.

11. How can the Bulletin be in trouble - they have got rid of their Continuing Crisis!  I re-upped when Tim joined their editorial team, but they have got worse and worse (not helped by the Newsweak [sic] content), and with few Not The News columns appearing I ignored their subscription renewal this time around.

12. #10 Thanks to Rob Hirst, I think the Bulle is doing a reasonable line in tedious posturing

13. Anyone who wants to check the quality of what is now appearing in the Bullie can check out related links here

    Apparently Helen Caldicott thinks nuclear is not the answer and Tim Costello thinks we should do something about poverty. Stay tuned for more revelations that will have your boot well and truly rooted.

14. My 15-yr subscription to the Bullie has lapsed & probably won’t ever be renewed. Rob Hirst as a lead columnist did it. I’m not saying a drummer in a rock band can’t have an opinion on politics, because he’s just as entitled to an opinion as I am. However, I don’t have to read it or swallow it whole.
