Pro-ana in the NY Times
The New York Times Magazine did a piece on'pro-anorexic' webpages. The damn NY TIMES beat me to the punch! Oh well, at least it proves this is an 'up-and-coming' issue. Too bad their article pretty much stinks. It's a good survey of a experiences and webpages... but it's mostly fluff. It's a shame that it's probably what people want to read. I basically think the author says a lot without saying anything and it could be a lot stronger if there were some backbone to it: facts, opinions, anything. Probably the author just wasn't experienced in the web communities, it sure sounds like she wasn't. (Though she interviewed Futurebird, the webmistress I was going to interview!!!)

Some of the article's weakness just lies in bad journalism... which both pisses me off and gives me hope for MY future career. This woman submits to NY Times AND Rolling Stone, for chrissakes, she should know how to WRITE!

My article will shame her.
