Clarification Regarding Houston Press "Best Of"
We reported yesterday that "Houston Press' 'Best of Houston' was due to go to press this week, but was forced to close early in advance of Hurricane Rita." Which is kinda true but kinda not true, too. The Press did, in fact, complete production of its "Best Of" issue in the wee hours of Friday morning, several days earlier than usual, in case Rita prevented the paper from reopening the following week. But when the hurricane proved to be less destructive than initially feared, the staff returned to the office on Monday and resumed production. The first run was sent to the printer last night; the remainder will be printed this afternoon; and the 224-page issue will hit the streets with a thud as scheduled tomorrow afternoon.

East Bay Express First U.S. Paper to Cover Army-Photo Scandalnew
Last Wednesday, Chris Thompson reported that American soldiers have been trading gruesome photographs of dead and mutilated Iraqis in return for free access to an amateur porn site. Thompson wrote, "(I)n the weeks since the European press uncovered the story and in the week since the site was first noticed by Eric Muller, law professor and author of the blog IsThatLegal.com, not a single US daily newspaper had covered it." That silence ended yesterday when the Army announced that it has launched an investigation of the matter.

The "Best Of" Curse?
You may have heard by now that Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast on the same day that Gambit Weekly's "Best of New Orleans" issue was scheduled to be delivered. But you probably didn't know that Houston Press' "Best of Houston" was due to go to press this week, but was forced to close early in advance of Hurricane Rita. Mere coincidence? Not according to the members of the editorial committee, who see in these two natural disasters nothing less than God's wrath against special issues and the publishers who demand them.

Baltimore City Paper Article Forces Change at Daily
The Baltimore Sun's Edward Gunts will be forced to liquidate his real-estate investments as the result of an article in City Paper noting that the architecture critic has written extensively about the neighborhoods in which the properties are located. When Gadi Dechter's piece was published in the City Paper, "what was being treated as an internal personnel matter became news," says Paul Moore, the Sun's ombudsman. Moore also says that while "Gunts had no nefarious intent to use his position for personal gain ... it also is clear that (he) should not be investing in Baltimore real estate while writing about architecture here."
