Ed's Girl on the Hunt: Dreaded networking!
***********
Check out ed2010.blogspot.com for Ed's Girl's continuing saga: "At this point, the only word I dread hearing more than contacts is 'networking.' Networking isn't bad; it's just so different from the educational system I spent most of my life in. If my school had told me that happy hour could have proven so integral to my future job prospects, I wouldn't have wasted so many Thursday evenings in statistics lectures."

If Cindi Leive’s recent Glamour’s Big Book of Dos and Don’ts only left you ravenous for more, you’re in luck—together with web media host Blip.tv, Glamour’s new Don'tspotting site is putting faux pas-addicts’ fave pastime online. "Glamour's Dos & Don'ts feature has become a pop culture institution, and we are excited about creating a fun, interactive experience for our online readers," said Glamour Online Editor Katherine Tasheff in a statement.

In the grand tradition of photo-ranking sites like HotOrNot.com, registered users can post unlimited photographs from their computers or cell phones for other faux-pas addicts to comment on, categorize, and rate; contributers can even compete for a high ranking. "Glamour readers can now play the role of editor, critiquing street fashion and even choosing the best and worst examples," said blip.tv COO and co-founder Dina Kaplan. "I just hope I don't end up on the Don'ts section of the site myself."

The Worst of Time

Just when you thought things couldn't possibly get any more demoralizing at Time Inc., along comes news that the media giant is planning more job cuts next year. The company so far is dismissing the talk. One source said the cuts -"specifically job reductions at Time magazine" - are expected to coincide with the expiration of the current contract with the Newspaper Guild.

That pact between the company and the editorial employees on the biggest New York-based magazines expires Feb. 1, 2007. The new contract, the first since an agreement went into effect in 1999, will mark the first contract negotiations for John Huey as the editor-in-chief of Time Inc. The last round was overseen by Norman Pearlstine, now a senior adviser on media and telecommunications for the Carlyle Group, the high-stakes buyout firm.

The union is already preparing for battle. "When we opened negotiations in 1998, the company came to the table with demands for drastic cuts in the areas of, among other things, vacations, holiday compensation, night-work bonus, severance packages and Sabbatical leave," warned the union in a newsletter that went out to its members earlier this week. "After more than a year of grueling negotiations, the Guild beat back the most onerous of management's demands and came away with a good contract."
