Mars-numret av Dave Langfords berömda sf-nyhetsblad Ansible är ute, och jag 
saxar några nyheter (det mesta av intresse har tidigare nämnts på SKRIVA):
http://news.ansible.co.uk/a320.html

* Ansible rapporterar om bråk i författarorganisationen SFWA, pga protester mot 
ett nytt direktiv att redaktören för SFWA Bulletin skall innehållsmässigt 
övervakas - en sorts censur. Se  
        news.ansible.co.uk/misc/oldlink14.html&sfwa1

* On 1 March, Loncon 3
        announced Jonathan Ross as their Hugo Awards MC; Farah Mendlesohn left 
the Loncon committee in protest; much online sound and fury ensued; Ross, who'd 
been persuaded by Neil Gaiman to appear free of charge, withdrew some hours 
later. 

* Priser:
Horror Writers Association Life Achievement: Stephen Jones, R.L. Stine.
 Kitschies: NOVEL Ruth Ozeki, A Tale for the Time Being. DEBUT Ann Leckie, 
Ancillary
        Justice. COVER ART Will Staehle for The Age Atomic by Adam Christopher
         Red House Children's Book Awards (voted by children): overall winner 
Rick Yancey, The 5th Wave. 
BAFTAs: the director (Alfonso Cuaron), UK film, cinematography, sound, music 
and visual effects categories all went to Gravity; Frozen won as animated film.
         London Critics' Circle: Gravity won for director and technical 
achievement/effects.
         Annies (animation): Frozen took best feature film, music, production 
design, direction and voice acting

* Martin Greenberg(1918-2013), co-founder with David Kyle of Gnome Press in 
1948 and editor of several sf anthologies, died on 20 October 2013; he was 95.
Bhob Stewart (1937-2014), US artist, writer, editor and fan influential in 
early comics fanzines and acting as 1960-1963 art director for the Hugo-winning 
Xero, died on 24 February aged 76.

* That set of US stamps depicting Asimov and other sf authors – thought to have 
been postponed indefinitely if not cancelled – may appear after all in 2015.
