Media Bubble: YOU Will Probably Not Be Cond Nast's Publisher of the Year

business031.jpg

  • Conrad Black allegedly "engaged in insider trading and used anonymous Internet postings to pump his company's flagging stock." Say what you will about the guy, he's not afraid to get his fingers dirty. [NYP]
  • Katie Couric: Likes hot dogs, doesn't measure success by ratings (good idea), wants it all. Got a problem? Shove it up your ass. [NYO]
  • Who will be Cond Nast's publisher of the year? Glamour's Bill Wackermann? Vogue's Tom Florio? Wired's Drew Schutte? House & Garden's Joe Lagani? Gourmet's Giulio Capua? Allure's Nancy Berger Cardone? We have no idea, but hopefully they all Google themselves. [WWD]
  • Sirius Satellite gives Howard Stern an $82.9 million bonus. Unfortunately, that's in its rapidly declining stock. [AP]

  • Time staffers anticipate redesign, layoffs. [NYO]
  • Judith Regan's sister seems to be cut from the same cloth. The Cloth of Evil. [NYP]
  • "CNN chief Jim Walton said Larry 'can sit in his chair as long as he continues to perform.'" Insert your own fart joke here. [TVNewser]
  • Will we finally be rid of the paparazzi? In a world where "upskirt" was a close contender for word of the year, we're guessing "no." [Independent]

      You can already tell that Time is looking to cut costs from the favicon they're now using, which was apparently designed in 1997 on MS Paint. And yes, I know it takes a huge loser to take note of Time's favicon at 9:45 in the morning, but c'mon, this shit is hideous.

      If you're going to host a famous gay as your lead blogger, you have to think fashion-friendly, people.

      Gawker's "slightly used maxi pad" look, on the other hand, is quite fetching.

      So, is Conrad a Gawker commenter? There's nobody I can think of as long-winded as him except the Earl Grey, and that would be far too hilarious.
