Additional reading for Wednesday


Written on September 27, 2010 – 9:39 am | by dkois

Here are four reviews that I think do very good jobs of accomplishing what I would like you to accomplish in your 800-word review. I recommend you read these reviews carefully, listen to how the writers unpack what they’re writing about, and work in your own review toward doing some of the same things.

A.O. Scott on the new Woody Allen movie

Hank Stuever on the new show LONE STAR

Douglas Wolk on a surprising Liz Phair album

Robin Givhan on the new Tom Ford collection

In addition, our Wednesday guest, Heidi MacDonald, has some reading for you. I want each of you to come prepared with TWO QUESTIONS to ask Heidi about comics journalism and blogging. You’ll be turning them in at the beginning of class.

From Heidi:
Hah well you picked an amazing week to be talking about this as it’s all the rage. I would say this is something everyone should read:

This is all the major players today being neurotic about their work.

This is not a traditional journalism piece in any sense of the word and yet awesome.

Here’s a piece from 7 years ago.

And a more recent one

And coverage of all the stuff going on at Marvel and DC
