Push Button Paradise

This seems pretty major.

According to James Turner's blog, the entire senior editorial staff of LinuxWorld Magazine has resigned, effective immediately.

That link above is to his blog on linuxworld.com, and so might be going away fairly soon. In case that happens, here is the letter:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Senior Editorial Staff of LinuxWorld Magazine Announce Resignations

MONTVALE, New Jersey, May 14th, 2005 --- The entire senior editorial staff of
LinuxWorld Magazine has today announced that they will be leaving the magazine,
effective immediately.

The following statement was released by the group. “We regret that Sys-Con Media has
been unable to apply a standard of journalistic ethics that we can comfortably operate
under. We feel that recent articles published with the consent of Sys-Con Media fail to
meet minimum generally accepted journalistic codes, and because the management of
Sys-Con Media has failed to acknowledge that the articles are by all informed judgment
ethically unsupportable, we have decided we must find other avenues for our work.”
