National Review online Vanity Unfair: An NRO Symposium November 5, 2006 http://article.nationalreview.com/?q= MzgxYzUzYmRlNjhmNzMyNjI2MDM4YmRjNTFhODA4MGQ= EDITOR'S NOTE: On Friday, Vanity Fair issued a press release highlighting excerpts of a piece in their January issue on neoconservative supporters of the war in Iraq who today, unsurprisingly, have some negative things to say about how the war is going and how the Bush administration has been handling it. In the wake of the press release which has gotten considerable play on the Internet some of those neoconservatives highlighted in the article have responded to the excerpts and its misrepresentations, in some cases, of what they said. We collect some of those reactions including from Eliot Cohen, David Frum, Frank Gaffney, Michael Ledeen, Richard Perle, and Michael Rubin below. MORE ONLINE 2. New York Post Page Six: Times Has Two Sets of Rules By Richard Johnson with Paula Froelich and Bill Hoffman November 6, 2006 http://www.nypost.com/seven/11062006/gossip/pagesix/ times_has_two_sets_of_rules_pagesix_.htm ONCE again, The New York Times is playing favorites. Last week, it was reported that talented culture writer Lola Ogunnaike was suspended after appearing on "The View" even though other Times reporters appear regularly on television. But now we hear Ogunnaike was warned several months ago for another perceived infraction - when she wrote the cover story for the February issue of Rolling Stone on Kanye West. "She was told she could not write for any other publications after that," said our source. Funny - her colleague Maureen Dowd (who regularly appears on Bill Maher's show and other programs) wrote the Rolling Stone cover story this month on Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. We bet Dowd isn't going to get spanked for that. The Times didn't respond to our requests for comment. MORE ONLINE 3. WWD Memo Pad By Stephanie D. Smith and Samantha Conti November 6, 2006 http://www.wwd.com/issue/article/110443 TAKE TWO: Donatella Versace certainly worked hard while she was in New York last week. After giving a keynote speech at the WWD/DNR CEO Summit and hosting a private dinner for Allure editor in chief Linda Wells, the fashion house's creative director started shooting Versace's spring ad campaigns on Friday. While the company did not confirm any information about the campaigns, sources said it has tapped a similar cast of characters to those featured in its fall ads. Mario Testino, who shot Versace's fall campaign and recent ads with Halle Berry and Madonna, photographed the men's ads in a Manhattan studio on Friday with actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers and a female model in a relatively straightforward (for Versace) style. Meyers also modeled clothes and accessories for the fall campaign. Meanwhile, the women's ads will feature many of the same supermodels as the fall ones, which included Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, Carolyn Murphy, Angela Lindvall and Daria Werbowy. GRAND DAME: British Vogue an outcome of world war? There's a lot of offbeat information British Vogue editor in chief Alexandra Shulman and her team unearthed during their research for the magazine's 90th anniversary issue, which hits newsstands in the U.K. today. It's British Vogue's biggest December issue ever and takes a look back to the year it was founded at the tail end of World War I, when shipping was disrupted and the Brits couldn't get their American Vogues. In the latest issue, Shulman and her team pay tribute to much and varied past coverage: Lee Miller writing about Picasso's 70th birthday, Evelyn Waugh critiquing D.H. Lawrence, and Samuel Beckett talking about New York. "People look unhappy here....And I sense a great hostility in the faces of the men," wrote Beckett. MORE ONLINE 4. MediaWeek SI Pumps Up Sportsman Franchise By Mike Shields November 6, 2006 http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/print/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id= 1003352392 Sports Illustrated plans to get a jumpstart on one of its biggest franchises, and preroll ads will factor in to its promotion on the Web. The Time Inc. weekly on Nov. 17 will launch a variety of multiplatform content extensions for its annual Sportsman of the Year issue. The official channel will live on SI.com, nearly a month before the magazine s Sportsman issue lands on newsstands on Dec. 6. During the lead-up to the issue, the site will feature a regular dosage of original Sportsman-related content, including daily nominations from top SI writers, along with fan polls, photos, and archival coverage of past Sportsmen. More noteworthy is the content being created specifically for the Sportsman s four flagships sponsors: Heineken, Courtyard by Marriott, Liberty Mutual and Viagra. Each of these brands has their own platform for Sportsman, said SI Digital president Jeff Price. From an ad perspective, we are creating original extensions that are relevant to brands.

MediaWeek Publishers Get Creative With Preroll Ads By Lucia Moses November 6, 2006 http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/print/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id= 1003352395 As magazines began to dabble with running video on their Web sites, it was only a matter of time before preroll ads followed. Preroll ads messages that roll right before the content give publishers a way to make money off their content and provide marketers with high CPMs once reserved for their broadcast brethren. For advertisers, they provide another platform for their TV spots. Preroll ads are the most common of online video ads, according to Forrester Research: 37 percent of consumers said they ve seen ads before videos start, versus 22 percent who reported seeing ads alongside the video and 14 percent who saw ads within or after videos. But with many still running 15 seconds and longer, publishers risk turning off the viewers they re trying to court. Three-fourths of online consumers who viewed video content in the past recent month said they ignore ads before or in streaming video, and 72 percent say they re too long, according to a 2005 Forrester survey. Asked how often they interact with online video ads, 90 percent of online consumers said they seldom or never click on video ads to learn more about advertised products, Forrester also found.

MediaWeek Publishers Get Creative With Preroll Ads By Lucia Moses November 6, 2006 http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/print/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id= 1003352394 Casio Inc. will be the presenting sponsor of Dennis Publishing-owned Stuff magazine's Toys for Bigger Boys gadget showcase in New York Dec. 5, a partnership that led the company to become a first-time print advertiser with the January issue. The ad buy represented a roughly $200,000 deal, according to Casio. Casio will auction off three digital cameras at the event, which raises money to benefit the Keep a Child Alive Foundation by auctioning holiday gifts and gadgets. MORE ONLINE 7. Jossip Lloyd Grove's Job Prospects: From the Daily News to VF, With a TMZ Layover By Jossip Staff November 6, 2006 http://www.jossip.com/gossip/lloyd-grove/ lloyd-groves-job-prospects-from-the-daily-news-to-vf-with-a-tmz-layover-20061106.php Today Liz Smith reported ex-Daily News gossip Lloyd Grove landed within Graydon Carter's confines at Vanity Fair. We've already spoke to a number of insiders who are questioning the accuracy of the report, but most are wondering if his VF placement is true what ever happened to Lloyd's claims that he was starting a new gig "doing something that is multimedia, with components of Internet and television and print media"? Sure, VanityFair.com just relaunched as part of Conde Nast's effort to learn how to spell "I-n-t-e-r-n-e-t," but certainly his VF post isn't the well-rounded media outreach program he had hinted at, right? Right. We're told that Lloyd initially planned on heading to TMZ.com, the AOL-Telepictures joint venture that most Americans know as "that site with the Brandon Davis 'firecrotch' video." And, to scratch their scrotum, it's also that site that broke the Mel Gibson anti-Jew drunk driving tirade. It was as recently as a few weeks ago, we hear, that Lloyd was in talks with TMZ chief Harvey Levin about coming on board as the chief East Coaster. Confirms Harvey: "We talked to him and nothing materialized."
