This week was busy, but it flew. Not much went on in terms of excitement, but hopefully that changes tomorrow night as I head into NYC for the #NotAtSXSW party sponsored by Teresa Cantwell & PRCog. I’ll be there for a few hours, maybe I’ll see you there.

Times sells Disney its front page for $700K – Now this article itself strikes me as pure marketing genius on behalf of both the LA Times and Disney. Both gain what they are looking for – Disney gets publicity for their soon-to-be blockbuster starring Johnny Depp and the Times gets the revenue that they so desperately need. Now I know that some journalists noted in the piece are mad at the paper for “selling out” or pissed that they had to turn through a page or two to read about Afghanistan or health care reform. To be honest – both will still be debated until the cows come home – so save it. They should also remember that newspapers are a business hurting for advertising of any kind. I wonder how quick they’d flip the other way if papers like the Times asked them to turn down more money to write for a competitor or online pub.
