The 20th Anniversary of Fuego/Frío

As we all know, Ruth Samuelson and Erik Wemple have been taking the local media’s temperature on Fuego/Frío for two decades now. But the following episode, in this viewer’s humble opinion, is the all-time best.

Who’s hot? The Post, el Comercio, the Washington Times, and Express, who took home this week’s award for Outstanding Selection of an AP Wire Story.

And who ain’t? Ryan Lizza, Harry Jaffe, the Current and the InTowner’s headline writer.

    love the new videos.

    will wemple and samuelson have their own weekly “costumes” like cherkis and leitko?

  2. Judy Herr Says:

    Very cute; I like the energy level and the diversity of the publications!
    Sigue no mas!

  3. Big Mike Says:

    So what’s the idea here? You try to be an influential publication by critiquing papers that people actually read? Good try.
