Late this evening comes news of the death of Neil Postman, University Professor of Culture and Communication at NYU, and author of [Amusing Ourselves to Death](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0140094385/plannedobsole-20). I never studied with Postman while I was at NYU, and, frankly, much of my recently-completed manuscript on the relationship between contemporary literary culture and television argues explicitly against the Postman line. Nonetheless, he has been for years a leading figure in media ecology circles, and will be much missed.
\[UPDATE, 10.08.03: At last, [confirmation](http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1065607300564&call_pageid=968332188774&col=968705899037). Interesting that this comes from Toronto; there’s still nothing in the NY Times…\]
\[UPDATE2, 10.09.03: The [NY Times](http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/09/obituaries/09POST.html) obituary has at last appeared.\]
