Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
If you don't own a BlackBerry, well, you probably don't care that some 8 million users worldwide are having big problems with their devices, oh, right about now -- with no fix in the foreseeable future. (Update: Service is back up. Whew.) To me, frankly, the most interesting thing about this story from the Bloomberg News service was one of the bylines attached to it: Crayton Harrison, who many of you will recognize as The Dallas Morning News' longtime technology writer. Turns out, this month he jumped ship to Bloomberg -- as did Dallas Morning News assistant business editor Alan Goldstein, who's in New York now editing on the Bloomberg bond desk, where, no doubt, he will tangle with Goldfinger and Pussy Galore. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
