Here's a post-Christmas present for the media junkies in the audience: Tina Brown likes to remind people she put The New Yorker on the path to profitability before she left and lobbed the softball to David Remnick who knocked it clear past the Hudson River. Conde Nast publisher Si Newhouse likes circulation numbers that go up and back then she got it "up" with the wide-spread use of four-letter words. We dip into the retro-media files and produce a scan of SPY magazine from November '93 that illustrates this point more clearly. Full blown fucking after the jump.
