Back home in Minneapolis, I loved getting the StarTribune Arts and Entertainment section on Sunday and reading interesting, in-depth articles about books, films, art, culture, trends, issues and more. The StarTribune was always good for at least one Prince mention. But not everyone has an A&E section in their hometown paper, due to the crazy nature of the newspaper industry. Many have succumbed to just covering the celebrity/reality corner of the A&E world. Or running wire service stories. It’s hard to find original, staff written articles; they must hold those articles for the print edition. Mark Zuckerberg’s appearance on SNL was the lead story most places. Here are some things I found:
- Book Review: Humphrey Bogart was no superhero | Post-Gazette
- Special Section: Exploring the new wing of the MFA | Boston Globe
- Interview: Technology visionary Douglas Rushkoff | blogcritics.org
- Art Preview: Karl Unnasch’s “Suspension of This Belief” | Minnesota Daily
- Conjecture: Why Alec Baldwin should replace Olbermann | salon.com
- Spring Arts: Festival of the Arts focuses on Paris 1910-1920 | Philadelphia Inquirer
- Classical: Six new or rarely heard works on Colorado horizon | Denver Post
- Films: A golden age of foreign films, mostly unseen | New York Times
- SNL Digital Shorts: ‘Shots’ with Andy and Pee Wee | NBC.com
