SPIKE 收檔了(社會文化)


SCMP 早前報導了以下的一段新聞:

[Quote]
Satirical magazine Spike's survival was in doubt yesterday after
rumours it would be closing after the collapse of a rescue deal.
While Spike publisher Stephen Vines would not confirm the
closure, sources at the magazine said staff had received an e-mail
from Mr Vines saying negotiations for a further injection of funds
had fallen through and the magazine would be closing.

Mr Vines had said in June that the publication was having business
troubles, but was upbeat at the time about the chances of keeping it
afloat. Last night he was telling a different story:"Unfortunately,
I can't tell you anything. We're in the middle of something here and
it would be staggeringly unhelpful of me to say anything at the
moment," he said, "There's nothing I can say that will be helpful to
the magazine."
[End Quote]

今年三月時我係本站預言,曰SPIKE 最多只能捱不超過十八個月!(見此
言猶在耳,想不到這班"灣仔醉酒佬"會敗走得這麼快。當事人對外宣稱
雜誌之死皆因投資者沒履行承落繼續投入資金,可行內線人供稱該公司
內部無制度,辦事無章法;話事人如典型水怪,只會吹不會做。投資者
見Burn rate如斯高速,怕步"白粉馬"搞Eastern Express或何公子搞iMail
等人的下場,即時斬倉(斬得好!),以免把自己的金錢倒落海,白白
養肥了這一班水怪。:)

始終社會的大多數 -- 包括頭腦簡單的傳媒人 -- 的眼睛係雪亮的。倒董
反政府的,不一定全係好東西。照搬壹週刊的"煲水猛料",盲目反共反
華、詆毀本地人、狂插南華早報;可自家的料又舊又不準,專題分析九
流,連笑話都不好笑(Humor and satire? what humour and satire?),
如此辦刊物,不倒閉才怪。(聞說刊物內有位菲律賓"才女",以中環商
場假日時,女廁供不應求來大做文章,申訴香港的種族和性別歧視問題
....哎,唔該佢啦真係!~~)

[射他耳]雜誌編既人要有時事觸覺+幽默感, 睇既人又要有返咁上下墨水去意會箇中含意, 單睇呢兩個先決條件就知本野係香港好難做lor...原來D"手查"fit人重要係水怪, 咁就實死無生! 收收, 好野! =)

候任大班議員辦的 , 傍住才子搵食的劉細良主編既 "茶杯" 同 SPIKE 都係一樣咁死法

"茶杯"? 我係訂戶呀!

也不能說是細良磅住才子呀! 劉早在"茶杯週刊"時期已經由壹仔轉投大班門下。 賣"杯"後都攪o左一年多才子才加盟,title 上劉也是高於陶。

本書有 tom 仔支大水喉射住, 無咁易死o既。

其實攪本乜野雜誌,最緊要識得睇下個market,如果market太細,其本上好難攪得好,其次才是看本雜誌既質素.....

501:茶杯比SPIKE 好N 倍啦。

eason: 同意。:)

梁錦松當日比人話偷步買車, 即日就將兩倍的錢,給公益金,
最後更因這件事而下台, 涂謹申被揭發事件當日,還在狡辯,
之後才道歉, 更不賠錢不下台,這種人更可惡. 身為議員, 知法犯法.

如果換轉唔係涂謹申.....早以經比人大規模上街示威要求佢立刻下台...
但係而家並未見呢d事發生!? 點解!!!???
唔通呢d就係民主派的雙重標準?
