Now it can be told: Blog or Webzine? . . .

by

Bookslut founder and editor Jessa Crispin is interviewed briefly in the “Pop Quiz” feature at Mediabistro.com. She talks about reviewing, her new webzine dedicated to food, Saucy, and the differences between a blog and a webzine: “I’m not much of a fan of blogs, unless they’re strictly news gathering. I like magazine formats with lots of different voices covering lots of different angles.” And how can you judge whether a blog is any good or not? “Blogging doesn’t really get anyone anything, so if a blogger is out for personal gain, the blog will stop being updated pretty quickly.”
