Si Won't Air-Condition Fairchild Stepkids?
This showed up in the inbox last night, and, while we can't quite believe it's true, we're also a touch intrigued:
'WWD': Jane Pratt Was Forced Out
Women's Wear Daily's Memo Pad — one of the city's leading media-gossip columns — is sometimes derided as the Conde Nast School Paper, a comment on the (probably unavoidable) prevalence of news about its corporate owner, which just happens to be one of the biggest mag companies. Sometimes, though, you can learn the…
Media Bubble: Si Newhouse Loves All His Children Equally
• As Fairchild is integrated into Conde Nast, portraits of the Fairchilds go, a fancy cafeteria arrives, and garlic is banned. [NYO]
• Absolute mag might live again, that to Realtor William B. May. At the very least, the already-completed next issue will be distributed. Oh, and that trademark thing the Post was all…
Stripped of Her Company, Mary Berner Leaves Fairchild
It seemed not like such a big deal back in September, when the announcement came that all the various Newhouse mag companies — Conde, Fairchild, Golf Digest — would become one big company under the Conde Nast umbrella, with each of the various old companies now a division of CNP.
When Fairchild Says No, Conde Says Yes
About a month ago, Fairchild Publications — the Newhouse publishing division behind W, WWD, Jane, Details, and all your favorite rag-trade trade pubs — sent a company-wide email reminding staffers of its prohibition on holiday-time gifts from "clients and contacts." But Fairchild is being merged into Newhouse's…
Brandon Holley Asks 'Jane' Readers to Move On
After all the stink we made about uber-editor Jane Pratt leaving Jane and being replaced by Brandon Holley, we still didn't really care enough to follow up and see how the "new" Jane would look (adult ADD, man). So we picked up the January issue the other day, and maybe it's too soon to tell, but we're not detecting…
Welcome to Conde Nast, Fairchild — But Don't Bring 'Vitals'
One day after the big Conde Nast-is-all-one-company announcement — which, when it broke, seemed to have few practical effects beyond some title changes and new letterhead designs — the first shoe drops. The Conde Nast division once and still known as Fairchild Publications said this afternoon that it will shutter …
The New 'Details': Is This The Little Mag I Carried?
The new Details is out, and — who'd have thunk it — it's the mag's fifth anniversary issue. Well, it's not the fifth anniversary of the magazine, exactly, but the fifth anniversary of this iteration of the magazine. And it seems like just yesterday this version was born. Where does time go?
Conde, Fairchild, and Friends: 'We Are Family'
There's a major reorganization afoot today in Newhouseland — one that, best we can tell, doesn't really change much of anything.
'Details' Gains a Publisher, at a Loss to 'VF'
They're getting so used to moving publishers around at Si Newhouse's magazine companies that now they can do it virtually in their sleep. Chris Mitchell, publisher of Details since April 2004, quit Wednesday to go make furniture. Already there's a replacement: Paul Jowdy, who's moving from the associate publisher…
Media Bubble: But Do the CBS Interns Approve?

• Jack Shafer stands up for the LES druggies. Because, damn it, someone's got to. [Slate]
• The Washington Post gets new…
Wait, So Who's the New Editor of 'Jane'?
Are you confused about who will be filling Jane Pratt's shoes at her eponymous Fairchild Publications magazine? Then pick up a print copy of Fairchild's Women's Wear Daily, which today features a a whopping six full-page ads introducing the already-introduced new editor, Brandon Holley.
Brandon Holley Named New 'Jane' EIC
Oh, how quickly we replace the ones we love. Just weeks after Jane founder Jane Pratt announced her retirement, Fairchild has found a replacement. Ladies and ladies (okay, maybe 2 or 3 gents care), meet your new Jane editor, Ms. Brandon Holley. 38 years young, Holley comes from the top editorial throne of ELLEgirl…
Naked Supermodels at Fairchild Pubs
We've known for a few weeks that a very pregnant Heidi Klum would be on the cover of September's Vitals Woman. What we didn't learn until today is that inside the magazine — copies of which are starting to float around the Newhouse empire — there's a very pregnant, very naked Heidi Klum. Our source on this is very…
Si Demands Anorexic Babies
With the usual disclaimers that we have no idea whether this actually true or not, we present an email that recently arrived in our inbox. It's Si Newhouse's take on the forthcoming premiere issue of Cookie, the who-knew-we-needed-such-a-thing shopping-for-babies mag headed soon to a newsstand near you. All we can…
