The New York Times 6 Degrees of Harvard By CHARLES McGRATH October 1, 2006 http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/01/weekinreview/01mcgrath.html?_r=1&oref=slogin HARVARD University spends somewhere between $500,000 and $1 million every year to protect its brand name to keep other institutions from billing themselves as, say, the Harvard of Dog Training Schools or the Harvard of Pilates Teacher Training Programs. This is one of many interesting facts to be gleaned from a perusal of a new magazine called 02138. The magazine takes its name from Harvard s ZIP code, though its own offices are actually across the Charles River, in 02114. It celebrated its first issue with a party in New York last week in ZIP code 10022, to be precise. This is not as confusing as it seems, because in the minds of the editors 02138 is apparently a state of mind, a sensibility a Harvard sensibility more than an actual ZIP code. The collective consciousness we aim to tap stretches across not just ZIP codes but continents, the editors write. In other words, you automatically belong to 02138 if you went to Harvard, wish you did or just like reading about the kinds of famous people who went there. MORE ONLINE 2. WWD Memo Pad By Irin Carmon and Stephanie D. Smith October 2, 2006 http://www.wwd.com/issue/article/109550 FILLING UP FAST: One more office has been filled at the gleaming new Hearst Tower: Heidi Sherman Mitchell has been named editor of Town & Country's travel and wedding magazine spin-offs. In addition to the quarterly travel magazine and the biannual wedding magazine, Mitchell will oversee the travel content in the 160-year-old monthly. Mitchell said she left her position as senior editor at Travel + Leisure in June to freelance and spend time with her family but was upbeat about the heft of her upcoming workload. "It's only 18 issues a year," she said brightly. The position has been open since July, when Melissa Biggs Bradley quit for unspecified reasons after more than a decade at the normally low-turnover magazine. Two weeks later, arts editor Anthony Barzilay Freund left to edit Art + Auction at LTB Media, which is overseen by former Cond? Nast editorial director James Truman. Rather than name a replacement, Town & Country editor in chief Pamela Fiori has promoted three existing staffers to split Freund's old responsibilities: newly dubbed arts, culture and design editor Sarah Medford will take over the Arts & Culture section, Andrew Sessa will become associate editor to oversee "In the Country," and Zoe Settle has been promoted to assistant editor. SMART SHOPPING: Men have claimed for decades they buy Playboy for the articles, not for the babes. But whether anyone ever believed that, fashion director Joseph De Acetis is now taking a more thoughtful approach to the magazine's fashion spreads to draw more attention to the department and more spendthrift fashion advertisers to the magazine. De Acetis said he is breaking from the format of men's books' typical fashion departments. "The general magazines were not latching onto the interest of the American male. We were sticking to the same fashion pattern putting a woman on the page or doing still lifes that just show product catalogue-like, aka Cargo," said De Acetis. "I thought to use [the pages] and be a little altruistic and not underestimate the reader." MORE ONLINE 3. MediaWeek Exxon Backs Fortune's 50 Women By Lucia Moses October 2, 2006 http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/print/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id= 1003189328 For its eighth annual Most Powerful Women Conference, Fortune has landed sponsor Exxon Mobil. As part of a nearly $1 million integrated ad deal, Exxon Mobil will sponsor the conference itself (in Las Vegas Oct. 4-6), the Most Powerful Women list in Fortune s Oct. 2 issue, as well as any online content associated with the list.

MediaWeek BusinessWeek Axes 12 Staffers By Lucia Moses October 2, 2006 http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/print/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id= 1003188358 BusinessWeek announced it is laying off dozen employees in administration, editorial and editorial production to adapt the publication to a changing market, a spokesman confirmed. At the same time, editor Steve Adler stated in a memo to staff that longtime art director Malcolm Frouman and national correspondent and former longtime managing editor Mark Morrison were leaving the magazine. Also departing are senior editor Elizabeth Weiner, who oversees media coverage, and Catherine Yang, who worked in the Washington, D.C. bureau. BusinessWeek's paid and verified circ declined 5.5 percent to 930,722 in the six months of the year versus the year prior, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, after the magazine decreased its rate base.
