Change is part of life...every aspect of it. The loss of Gourmet was a big change. If my mother was alive, she wouldn't believe that her favorite magazine was gone. She must have read Gourmet for almost 50 of its 68 years and actually became somewhat less of a fan as the magazine moved toward travel pieces and glitzy ads. Still Gourmet is (was) Gourmet and she remained a loyal subscriber until she passed away in 2001. I'm going to check out Mary O'Neill next. She seems to embrace the change. In truth, writers of all stripes are experiencing change to their beloved media. I think if we continue to hold on to the belief that all media require good content, we'll get through this transition. I don't think, however, that we'll see a disappearance of the "citizen journalist" in the food field any more than in news, technology or any other. Thanks again. And hey, if you've got a recipe and a story, perhaps you'd like to compete in Women's Memoirs first writing contest.

The concept that people want to express what they are experiencing is very resonant with the nature of our new communications. I publish Vinetown (www.vinetown.com) a site for wine and food lovers. I am a journalist living in a social media world. I love what I write - and I love attribution. I am always happy to post the good work of others. My true hope is that beautiful, brilliant writing will be shared out in our new landscape in ways that are economically feasible for us all. Best wishes, Carol Yelverton This is very insightful.
