TNR Boss Peretz Takes to Blogging & Mastheads.org Starts Charging

If I'm in a pugnacious mood, I write," Martin Peretz said. "If I'm not, I don't." Mr. Peretz, the editor in chief and part owner of The New Republic, was on the phone Aug. 8 from his home in Cambridge, Mass. He had turned off the television to take the call. Mr. Peretz said he's "embarrassed" to admit how much TV he is watching. Rockets are flying into and out of Israel; the ceaseless disputes about the Middle East have erupted into open warfare.

"Last night, I fell asleep with Cooper Anderson," Mr. Peretz said, "and the television was on all through the night, so I woke up with Cooper Anderson." Or Anderson Cooper. The point gets across.

"Like everybody, I have lots of responses to the news," Mr. Peretz said, "and I'm particularly and easily inspired—or agitated, as the case may be—by news from the Middle East."

FASHION Rocks, the annual musical extravaganza staged by Cond? Nast at Radio City Music Hall, has sparked tremendous Internet bidding wars for tickets.

One Web site last week was offering orchestra seats for $8,182. This week, others further back in the crowd were going for $4,000. Ticket prices originally ranged from $104.50 to $254.50. The event is set for Sept. 7 and will be hosted by Elton John and televised on CBS on Sept. 8.

Among the performers on tap are Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Bon Jovi, The Black Eyed Peas, Daddy Yankee, Jamie Foxx, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. Last year's show, which occurred right around the time of the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans, raised more than $14 million in relief money.

The cover subjects fashion books have scored for their big month are mostly younger; Harper's Bazaar's cover girl, Gwyneth Paltrow (who turns all of 34 next month), is one of the main exceptions. Elle has Lindsay Lohan (20); Vogue picked Kirsten Dunst (24) fried hair and all, and Allure and W have Christina Aguilera (25) and Christina Ricci (26), respectively. Marie Claire takes a chance on Maggie Gyllenhaal (a whopping 28), while Glamour has gone multigenerational with soon-to-be-20 Emmy Rossum, Eva Longoria (31) and Sheryl Crow, who at 46 is the oldest cover model of the month. For its style issue, Vanity Fair goes with Kate Moss, 32. Over in the men's titles, age is less of an issue: representing the 30s is newly minted James Bond Daniel Craig on the front of Esquire's best-dressed issue, while GQ has given fortysomething Clive Owen its spot and Ashton Kutcher, the baby of the group at 28, is on Details.

When Time, Inc.'s Teen People shuts down its print edition this September and moves online for good, it will be migrating to where an increasing number of teens are spending their time.

But Teen People online will be facing a whole new set of challenges in attracting the young set, in some ways more daunting than those it faced competing for their attention in print.

True, teens spend an impressive chunk of their time online, but what they're doing there is something else entirely. They're spending a lot less time reading the sort of editorial they might read in print. Instead, they're tinkering with their blogs, visiting networking sites and connecting with friends.

Fellow NYU scholar Jay Rosen recently extinguished the flare of pride for newspapers to get on the blog bandwagon, and rightly so. After personally having met the Carpetbagger himself and the bark behind the snark, I can surely attest to such an inflated perspective on a technology that has become a badge of modernity (and not a unique source of editorial content) for big media. However, as I read Rosen's words perched high up in a tower on 8th Ave. and 57th St., I must point out that he missed mentioning a large segment of media that is conspicuously absent from the web - magazines. As trendy as they can be, monthly glossies haven't given more than a glance at the blog as a useful tool, and a quick tour of the major players reveals a stunning lack of thought from a business that isn't suffering quite as badly as its newsprint counterpart: outside of Seventeen magazine for their use of a colorful, fun MySpace profile and the celebrity weeklies for mind-numbing star coverage, as well as the blogs from technology-oriented mags and their competitors, nary a blog post is found at the sites of Vogue, GQ, or Self (Conde Nast); Elle (HFMUS); and Cosmo and Esquire (Hearst), much less the smaller companies (Top-dog Time Inc. is an exception - most of their holdings, including its namesake publication and SI, have blogs). Harper's and The New Yorker take a stab at a blog, but it's no more than an afterthought.
