John Pasmore is probably best known for his involvement with OneWorld, which he cofounded in 1994. Like many magazines, OneWorld is no more, but Pasmore continues his nonstop media activities which now include blogging.
I met John via our mutual blogging at Fast Company where his posts recently included An Interview with Vibe Magazine Publisher Len Burnett.
But he’s also been lightly blogging for about a year at his site Next things Next where he recently looked back at Urban Box Office and shared his fairly damning take on the [White] Rapper Show.
John told me he got into blogging, in part, as a way to better understand the space. I think that’s really a smart way to go, even if you don’t intend to become a blogging nut as some of us have. I also think blogging can give one a lot of visibility into the issues facing web publishers today, whether or not one’s plans feature blogging.
