So you want to bring down the thread? Go feed your ego somewhere else. Nobody's perfect. The point is well stated regardless, such as culinary and music talents in New Orleans brought in further discussion. If you understood the point then you wouldn't be nitpicking. This doesn't have to be contentious.
No, of course I don't. I never said anything about New Orleans. I was just saying when it comes to publishing, it is NYC... then everybody else. I actually think it is probably the field NYC has the largest gap over anybody else in. I think there is a misconception that LA is a clone somewhat of NYC in some of the fields it shares with it, but that isn't exactly the case. NYC has far more film industry for instance, than LA has of publishing. And in something like the music industry, it is fairly balanced, with cases that could be made for both.

OK fair enough. Thank you for keeping it civil. I might also add that a lot of the filiming industry has left LA for Vancouver, Toronto, and have even set up studios in places like Albuquerque. However I didn't know or think that New York had more of a filming industry. In terms of media, well no question about that. Are you also implying NY has it over LA for cinema and TV series productions? Can you elaborate?

NYC has a higher percentage of the entire film industry, than LA has an entire percentage of the entire publishing industry. I think you'll see publishing/e-print/etc start to filter out of NYC more, just like you have seen movie production move out of LA. Publishing nationwide has been getting KILLED in the last 5 years...and we are still not at a level of where the "new media" has come to replace it, people are still scrambling for territory. I think you'll see Bay Area get some points on that b/c of the tech industry media giants twitter/facebook/google... Seattle b/c of Amazon/Microsoft death grips, and Chicago also as it is fairly balanced in terms of economic industries (journalism/trade guides/poetryfoundation/etc) and historically was a big publishing center as well, still is, Boston would be the other "old school" publishing city, traditional american literature powerhouse. SF and Seattle are the new big players and we'll see how much clout they have. LA has a lot of writers, but mostly for film/tv/other scripts and easily has the lion share in that subgenre.
I don't think it is as necessary anymore that if you want to be a writer/editor you HAVE to move to NYC, nor is it as necessary if you want to work in film that you HAVE to move to LA... Now, you might still want to visit fairly frequently for the industry honchos/client networking... and your work might eventually filter through there b/c of the HQ's and media conglomerates, but internet and lower production costs have changed the game tremendously in both fields, and I only see it changing more.
