In your bad-itudinal Thursday media column: Seymour Hersh hates newspapers, Paste Magazine makes bank, journalists deserve to be paid a mere pittance, and MissBehave's final goodbye email to staffers, which is not a very good one:

Cool-girl mag MissBehave went online-only early this year, and now it sounds like the people who run the place are totally closing up shop, kaput, blammo, totally erased from the face of the earth, blog and all. If you know more on this, email us. [Blogue. UPDATE: Yes, it's dead.]

A tipster tells us that Mass Appeal, the Brooklyn-based hipsterish hip hop/ graffiti culture magazine, has folded. Editors and designers were laid off last week, and no more issues will be forthcoming, the tipster says. It's not known whether the mag will seek a buyer, or how its sister title MissBehave will be affected. If you have any information, email us. Sucks, if true—Mass Appeal was a quality rag. And to think that Cat Fancy soldiers on unscathed. What kind of world do we live in?

Does anyone here read Missbehave magazine? It's a fun, loopy girlmag. Singer Kelis ("I'm Bossy!") has her own advice column, the fashion spreads are bright and colorful and out-there. Shmancy writers, like Cintra Wilson, occasionally contribute. There was an article on how to dress like a stripper a few issues ago, and a Heatherette spread starring Lydia Hearst. It's "downtown" without the overly-precious, gushy NYLON sensibility, and some of the writing is satisfyingly freewheeling. Folio reviews the mag so far, pointing out that the "mag's models are less kempt, more ordinary, and more overtly sexual than most." Oh noes! Oh yes. How could you not love something with a swimsuit spread starring furries?
