Is the site name a reference to J. R. R. Tolkien's essay titled, 'Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics'?

Well,
considering the special links to 'The Hobbit' and 'Tolkien Books' on the website,
one would expect that 'mosters and Critics' refers to Tolkien's classic essay on Beowolf.

Well I know the owners started with a Tolkien site called warofthering.net. I also know that Monsters and Critics started as a movie review site. So I reckon it must be a sort of pun and nod to their roots.

So, is this a news site that's actually published in print, or an only-online resource?

Can you tell more on this page. Here's the questions:
1. Who owns the company?
2. Where is its headquarters?
3. Where'd the name come from?
4. What's the mission and basic focus for information.
5. Who are the top officers/execs/founders.

Thanks.

Charles

Dear M&C,

I'm an independent publisher. What steps would I take to send you an advance reading copy my firm will publish in October? Should I send it to your Indianapolis address? Should it go to anyone's attention?

Best regards,

Independent Publisher

Thank you for the Geo coverage. Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Hurricanes & Tsunamies are generally under reported. Many events would be ignored totally if it wasn't for the Chinese and Oz press.

I have a question for M&C staff.

Is it necessary to have a dozen 'roundups' of the same news story posted within hours of each other? Or 1st lead, 2nd lead, 3rd lead then 4th lead? Or feature, news feature, more news feature, etc? You get the idea.

No other website that reports on recent events does so in this fashion.

If I want to read a story, I want to read ONE copy of that story. And I want that story to be accurate, relevant and to the point. I simply don't have the time or inclination to read 5 copies of the same story, each with a minor revision, just to see what I might have missed in the former.
