    Like I always say... covering zoning board meetings and city council elections is a license to print money. #politico

    Isn't "rich person's vanity project" the only real media business model that's ever had sustained success? #politico

    Pareene,
    I have to disagree. This thing is going to be a moneymaker. The Republican secret-gay-cruising classified ads alone will put them in the black during the first two months.

    Gawker should create linkage between Gawker and Manhunt so all the fine fellows on Manhunt can surf Gawker and Manhunt at the same time.

    Kind of like the Facebook link to Gawker except people will actually use it.

    You're missing two apostrophes in your first paragraph: "As for the site's new redesign, Manhunt's CEO..."

    I can't help it, I was raised in a wayward home ruled by strict grammarians.

    @Nice Beaver: Through careful wording, nothing I said was wrong, but that's why you use words like "apparently" and "might". My report was based on appearances, and my math added two and two and got twenty-two.

    My only weak defense is that my request for information on the subject wasn't granted. I emailed the publicist on 8/5 and held the item as a inkling/draft for 8 days. Did I follow up? No. I work just under 60 hours a week and have a reputation as a homothario that must be maintained which takes time.

    Discussing the matter with friends, we all had the same impression, so I ran with it. The payoff is that I'm embarrassed and feel badly for feeding a misleading story to Gawker. I genuinely regret the error.

    I'm not surprised about the LA Times, since the Chicago Tribune unveiled a redesign a couple of weeks ago. However, LATimes looks more like the Toronto Globe and Mail than the NYT.

    As far as local news goes, the amount (in both LATimes and ChiTrib) doesn't appear to have changed much, which does not bode well if hyperlocal is truly the destiny of the metro dailies. The advantage to the new design is that it's not as ditsy and easier to read in many lighting schemes. I'm also happy to see print-from-web versions of stories coming out in B&W, instead of an off-grey shade.

    Newsday? Meh.

    It wouldn't matter how much news was hiding on the Newsday page. The new white on black design (with no option to change it to black on white) is painful to look at and nearly impossible to read. (And the blue on black and gray on black keywords must be someone's idea of a joke.)

    Everyone who's anyone knows you go to the lifestyle section of the daily paper for all the latest trends.
    Just like we read Glamour to stay up-to-date on the war in Iraq.

    Finding news in Newsday was always like finding the table of contents in Vogue. You suspect it's in there someplace, hidden between ads.

    See, imagine a waitress approaching your table with what you anticipate is a platter of grub. Now she breaks into a juggling routine featuring bowling pins, pie plates and pitchers of ice water. Are you satisfied? The news corporations are anxious to know.
