Cite magazine and the Rice Design Alliance have launched OffCite.org, a new blog about architecture and design in Houston and elsewhere, but, having caved to the digital-media future, they can’t quite swallow the internet’s populism: according to the press release, "blogs often broadcast personal angst or feast on political partisanship. When OffCite.org comes up on the screen, the elegant layout and lush photography immediately set it apart from the clamor and fray." And we thought clamor and fray was the whole blog idea!

Does populism necessarily mean clamor and fray? Informed, thoughtful debate is different than cantankerous attacks. The digital media future is in the hands of those who create meaning.
