In The Media
During its short run on the Internet, QT's Diary earned great respect. It was featured in Time Magazine under an article of "celebrity blogs." Although they assured readers it was a fake, they claimed it was brilliant, giving it four stars. (The only one to achieve a full rating from the magazine.)
On the Internet, the simulation stock market website BlogShares, which deals in trade on Internet sites, listed QT's Diary as one of the most valued blogs. Even today, having been offline for almost an entire year, its value is high. BlogShares issued a humorous press release dealing with its popularity.
The blog also generated interest on many news sites after "Quentin" posted that he was going to direct the next James Bond movie. Many Bond fan websites picked up the text as a direct press release from the director, and passed it on as official news, until Bumble Ward assured them otherwise.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
