		<title>In case you&#8217;re asking, it&#8217;s NOT a zero-sum game. Reverse the publishing process and voilà, print and digital are friends again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m amazed that the question, &#8220;Is Print a zero-sum game?&#8221; still so frequently pops up in publishing circles, but inevitably it does. (In fact, many major monthly magazines in Asia don&#8217;t even have websites because they don&#8217;t see value in an online operation.) I don&#8217;t believe the two mediums are at odds with each other. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The editor-turned-publisher and his editorial longings. Or why I want ELLE in Vietnam to outlive us all. Or what makes a great editor? (Not that I know)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the sense of accomplishment from launching ELLE magazine in Vietnam has been replaced by my desire to create something lasting and longer &#8211; something bigger than my own energy and/or ability can produce, I&#8217;ve begun thinking more about what makes a great magazine. I’m proud of ELLE Vietnam’s editorial quality and that advertisers have [...]]]></description>

		<title>How going to journalism school made me a better businessperson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, the jury is still out on my skills as a businessman. I have only been working as country manager for Ringier, a Swiss publishing house, in Vietnam since July 2009. But after six months, I can&#8217;t tell you how often I refer back to core journalism techniques (in an attempt) to be a better [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On July 1, 2009 I began the position of country manager of Ringier&#8217;s Vietnam office. The easiest way to describe this work is to imagine I manage a media startup business, although Ringier (a Swiss publishing company) has been in Vietnam for nearly 17 years. I&#8217;m here to help build up Ringier&#8217;s portfolio of online [...]]]></description>

		<title>In case you were wondering&#8230; What did I learn at Columbia Graduate School of Journalism?</title>

In fact, it was always intended to be several posts i.e. &#8221; What I learned in:&#8221; RW1, NYC24, business and economics reporting, Ken Leher, etc. But I should have known better. I’m already in Vietnam, managing a new media startup by Ringier and it’s been impossible to find the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Robert Frank (whose detailed coverage of the super-wealthy offered up a glimpse into an unknown (and new) world) gave a casual lecture about how to cover the rich at today&#8217;s Business and Economics Reporting class. I thought I&#8217;d share a few of his &#8220;pearls.&#8221; Frank still writes a blog about the wealthy at WSJ. He [...]]]></description>

Second, I absolutely love redesigning magazines/newspapers/Web sites.

		<title>Movie trailer to the documentary Hoop Knight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always said that the best way to learn film editing would be to work in a course or company where the only objective would be to make cinematic trailers for hypothetical movies. It challenges you tremendously to condense a film down to a few compelling scenes and sounds. Personally, I&#8217;d love to make a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Uh, why does a Coke cost less at the B-School than the J-School?</title>

In fact, I keep telling people (erroneously) that I&#8217;m earning a master&#8217;s in new media publishing, as if that existed.

Instead, you&#8217;ll have to settle for another set of flawed (but [...]]]></description>
