More than a year after nearly imploding itself to death, the Observer (under an interim executive director; I don't know if the last permanent one quit at some other time, or got shit-canned at the same time as editor-in-chief Gabriel Arana did) pretends it's back to normal by passing out Molly Awards. (Aug. 10: They now have a cartoon Molly introducing the most recent Strangest State piece.)
First, per Jim Hightower, how much of a real populist are you if you go to Smith College, re Molly Ivins?
Second, weren't these awards in the past, passed out in the fall?
Third, per my first link on what's wrong with the Observer business-wise, there's still no paywall and still no ads, and surely still hypocrisy about the latter. What's to celebrate?
Fourth, they've got Gus Bova as Arana's interim replacement.
