Lifestyle Magazine Is Ashamed Of Itself

Monocle, the worldly Tyler Brule-helmed lifestyle magazine for young, stylish, business-oriented jetsetters who receive free subscriptions, is sending out the following note to editors: "Monocle magazine offers a briefing on global affairs, business, culture and design. It is not a lifestyle magazine." Hmm. Monocle has formerly been described on Gawker as a "travel-culture magazine" and a repository of "lifestyle sensuality and gaywad uptightness." Close enough.

Our Dream Magazine

Magazines. They just don't satisfy, somehow, all niched up and specific and all about one thing to make advertisers happy. Why can't magazines address the multiple people that we are? Why can't they reach, and stretch, and maybe purr a little? So finally we've designed our dream magazine. We seek investors who believe in the power of print! More »

Media Bubble: Yet More Reality For MTV

  • MTV names reality TV queen to head programming. Expect lots more pimping and punking! [MediaPost]
  • Sure, Les Moonves can lean on the little guys, but will he able to pull off the same kind of deal with the Comcasts and Time Warners of the world? The Post says no. [NYP]
  • Maria Bartiromo interviews Citigroup Chairman Emeritus Sandy Weill. Presumably there were no questions concerning snakes on a plane. ('Cause, remember, that Citigroup guy allegedly did it to her on the company's private jet? It was like a month ago or something. Can't you remember anything?) [TVNewser]

    Remainders: God Bless Hedge Fund America

  • Hedge fund managers. They love themselves—because they must. [PJE Los Angeles]
  • Tyler Br l 's new magazine Monocle debuts this week; Eat the Press describes it as "The Economist meets Vice." Since there already was a Monocle magazine in the 1960s (run by The Nation's Victor Navasky) that seems to inspire much the same nostalgia as Spy, we're taking this as a blasphemic statement. [Eat the Press]
  • A real retrospective of Radar covers through the decades. [Daily Intel]
  • More details on the Ben Stiller/Tom Cruise Hardy Boys collabo— now with a Katie Holmes three-way. [TV Guide]
