Having endured intense criticism twice in the past six months after publishing controversial stories that sent some readers into fits of rage, the former Miami New Times editor tells the Miami Herald, "I certainly am devoted to journalism, but maybe it would be a good idea to give it a rest for a little while." Nevertheless, Mullin defends "Meth Made Easy," which included a recipe for methamphetamine and caused an uproar when it ran in the San Luis Obispo New Times earlier this month. Mullin says he knew he'd get heat for publishing the recipe, but he still thinks it served two good purposes: It let readers know about the "really awful stuff" that's in meth, and it grabbed people's attention, which kept it "from suffering the fate of so many meth articles -- they don't get read."
Michael Musto, who writes the "La Dolce Musto" column in the Voice, says his secret to staying relevant is keeping his distance from celebs, in this Toronto Star profile. Musto also claims that he "pioneered snark" and says that the proliferation of celebrity blogs and Web sites "forces me to go wilder and aim lower and provide something the Internet can't." Apparently, the decline in standards hasn't hurt Musto's reputation. Says here that "(h)e's been described rapturously as 'one of the wittiest stylists in the English language, master of the Oscar Wildesque segue.'"
