Twitter battle rages over ‘Moguls’; journo tells followers to ‘BUY THIS BOOK NOW’

“The Return of the Moguls” hasn’t been officially released yet (that will come on March 6), but it’s already generated a Twitter battle between the Southern California-based journalist Gustavo Arellano and Eric Spitz, who, along with Aaron Kushner, are former owners of the Orange County Register.

I interviewed Arellano, then the editor of the OC Weekly, and Spitz (and Kushner) about the Register, which under Kushner and Spitz’s leadership added about 150 newsroom jobs only to go bankrupt just three years after their investment group bought the paper. The Twitter action began earlier this afternoon:

What fun!

Arellano also offered an endorsement:

Yes. Please do.

Talking ‘The Return of the Moguls’ with Annie’s Book Stop of Worcester

The first event I have scheduled for “The Return of the Moguls” is a bit off the beaten track: Annie’s Book Stop of Worcester, located at 65 James St. I’ll be doing my thing at 7 p.m. You can register via Facebook by clicking here. Recently I had an email conversation with Trisha L. Wooldridge of Annie’s. We talked about the book, writing and my gradual realization that I will never be David Halberstam.
