It's only good to be the European Editor if she gets paid in euros.

@Nick Denton: This is the publishing industry's Edsel. There are no magazine ideas anymore - only websites with possible print components. Someone should have told CN that.

Shouldn't she be called the Europe Editor? That's quite a job if they can change your citizenship status AND give you a 401(k).

But when New York magazine hires JMac, or that other magazine hires him to write about wine, nobody complains. And frankly, doesn't every mag hack bang out his stories on the flight home? What is sad is that this could have been a great magazine, but the chances of saving it, even with an editrix switch, are decreasing. (I still have a crush on perky semititrix Jlip.)

@TheHonJudgeSmails: By the way, Judge, Portfolio is the Waverly Inn of magazines, if you haven't figured it out yet.

@Nick Denton: I read His Honor's original comment as sarcasm, but I guess not.

@TheHonJudgeSmails: Stick around, Judge ... who doesn't have a vendetta against anything Condé Nasty? Now where's that hatchet?

@Nick Denton: As always, very servicey! I honestly did not know/realize any of that. I like the angle, but without that context, it seemed kinda like a vendetta or a hatchet job.

@TheHonJudgeSmails: Small? Obscure? Portfolio is Conde Nast's biggest ever bet. $100m investment is hardly small. And there's a bigger story. This is the last of the magazine industry launches. It's like General Motors launching a gas-guzzling SUV with oil prices at $100 a barrel, the last gasp of a bloated and outmoded industry. (But I should probably write all that.)

And just where did Dana Thomas go shopping, pray tell? After Deluxe, I wouldn't be surprised if a few stores refused her service.

I don't get it, Nick... this is a pretty small, obscure publication with few employees and subscribers. So why are we getting almost weekly posts about it? I'm honestly just asking - our of real curiosity.
