Dysfunctional D Magazine blogs place Dallas media in paralysis

How long has that Rag been out, since.. 1973, man... it has had a long play in the City of Sport's fan's.... Car Culture Consumer's, and Cafe Food King's.. then again it has coverd a lot of ground, but..all big american citie's have a formula D. Type or O Magazine, and with the present economic trend,... they need to funk more then fashion up beside, the hype is over....until then D.Reader for over 25 years..A.T.

Chris Kidd, says:

Wick is a real piece of work, he doesnt seem to understand his rag doesnt make the impact a New Yorker or NYT magazine would, as they practice things called "journalism" and "Writing" something the folks at D are unable to wrap their heads around due to the fact its nothing more than an ad-trade publication for his rich friends and associates. Thats how they got Tim Rogers in the first place ;)

alexander troup, says:

Yea... I saw Wick at the Tom Thumb, he was really strange looking,... deliverd his own rag, real....ecentric in the,... I am out of MY box,........A.T, Once,... food shopper of the Highland Park Thom Thumb.

Poor Eric and Timmy...

Travis Bush, says:

D fagazine has always been a piece of garbage. There are more ads than stories, plus an unhealthy dose of "upscale", which is enough to make one gag.

Lisa Lawrence Merritt, says:

D is old Catholic school boy net.(In love with themselves they are!) All the "Best Ofs" are paid for advertisment.Low on substance and high on hype.

But how we do love to blog on the Burn.

Travis Bush, says:

Too many ads, vacuous content, not representative of the entire city..glad those are the things you didn't take with you, Mike. And yes, it sucks losing your job. Hope all works out for those folks.

Chris Kidd, says:

They're a victim of their own mismanagment and delusions of grandeur. Not everyone in Dallas wants to hear about their picks for top cosmetic dentists or boob job specialists. People are concerned about how this city runs and stalls. When they do try to be journalists, they screw that up as well (see: recent DISD story). I say wick and the gang should go totally web-based and pair down to a every-other month pub, six issues a year with more emphasis on Dallas (non-park cities)issues and articles.

On a side note: Pegasus News does a decent mix of real stories, fluff and the occasional press release. Guys, as an aside, less press releases and more original articles would be nice, heck, id be even willing to write for ya....

Thanks Alex, im planning to once I get the internet radio show up and launched come this winter, as i'll have my blog/vlog companion pieces to go along with what im doing...

Russ Vandeveerdonk, says:

D Magazine problems, I saw it coming. Times have changed, Dallas has changed, D Magazine did not keep up with this trend, they just kept up the old school crap. Same old stories, and the attitude that the writers were "in the scene" of Dallas and on top of the who's who in Dallas. They were 8-10 years ago and before then as well, but not the last few years. PEGASUS NEWS is really THE new trend-setter in my opinion.

alexander troup, says:

Russ and the rest have come up with a good request, dump D and come up with another rag online that humm's with a lot of other people saying I was there and I was not tell me more good stuff...until then...A.T... The other side of D.

Jason Rice, says:

Hate to see that happen. Their coverage could genuinely put an arts event or a charity on the regional map. Hate them if you must, but they had broad reach through the moneyed and cultured in town. It's a sad day for the old arts in town.

alexander troup, says:

Dont hate them Rice, just got real bored with the Super People concept for 12 years,kind of like Paper City, they all have crunch bar's layed out on their desk, Pink one's I heard over at Oak Lawn...Just pic a bar and the small straw leave's, While D did a great job, like the recent Month on Jewish History in Dallas, may be the last couple of issue's,... D has been in Mega Empire for 7 good years with fashion, Interiors, Wedding's and Developer's and Homes having 9 outlet rags...

We are suppost to Observe the end's and out's of this Era,... and this D event may be one of them, beside's Andy Hansen, long time photo hound passed away recent, and he shot all of the Pro Dallas Socity as D would label it in Grand....A/T,... D. Observer.

alexander troup, says:

I was until the 2 stock Market crash's, then again, think we all are still rich.

one more time ... If we think about the many years of D ............... tho's that have the money and those that dont, got boring...and To you thank you.C.H..

Lisa Lawrence Merritt, says:

Advertising dollars begin to shrink when retail begins to sink.

And so goes D.

Sign of the times,then again every dog has his day and this dog need's to retire... Good luck folks on finding a new job..A/T..
