Michael Agger gives Cargo a proper eulogy, claiming the mag never had a chance. Obviously, they were out-hipped by Consumer Reports. [Slate]

• The Washington Post's new radio show launched yesterday; the first day was largely filled with interviews with WaPo reporters. Shameless self-promotion in the veil of a news program? Sounds eerily familiar. [WaPo]

• "Mom food" officially has its own magazine. Meredith Corp. launches Eat magazine, a quarterly food mag for a nation of families who can't stop chomping for two seconds. [Mediaweek]

• A photographer is fired from church for handing over a photo of Justice Antonin Scalia flicking off a reporter. Apparently, believing that journalism really is the one true god pisses the Catholics off. [Boston Herald via Romenesko]
