RPG Codex - Where Journalism Goes to Write Itself

RPG Codex has an interesting aticle about journlism and game press.

Although we had fun at Gamescom, our overall impression of the conference was not very positive. We were just fans who wanted to write about games for other fans, who finally got a look at how the business of games journalism is conducted behind the scenes at conferences like this one. It was a troubling sight.
