AT LEAST THEY LOOK AT PICTURES: New York magazine will reverse the usual print-to-Web trajectory by spinning off some of its online fashion coverage into a semiannual magazine. The visually driven New York Look will debut in November with an emphasis on the magazine's "5 x 10" format — five examples of 10 trends that comprise "incredibly ruthless distillations of the trends of the season," according to editor in chief Adam Moss. He argued this "elegant sorting" offered an editorial authority unavailable online, as well as the "tactile experience" of print. The magazine will appear soon after the New York and European shows, and will be a combination of controlled circulation and selective newsstand sales. Produced by New York magazine's existing fashion staff with the aid of freelancers, Look will have little writing and no portfolio photography, only runway shots.

ABOUT TIME: Time Inc. on Monday made two major moves in its corporate ranks: Howard Averill was named chief financial officer, while Mitch Klaif was appointed the publisher's senior vice president, information technology. Time Inc. had not had an official cfo since Richard Atkinson, who left the company in December 2005 during a corporate reorganization where 105 executives were let go. Since that time, Howard Rosen had been acting cfo in addition to his role as controller. Averill joins Time Inc. from NBC Television Group, where he was executive vice president and cfo. He takes his new position June 6. Klaif, meanwhile, was promoted from vice president of Global Magazine and Digital Technology and replaces Paul Zazzera, who is leaving the company.

MY KINGDOM FOR A HORSE: A hazmat suit isn't normally on the racks for a magazine shoot, but there are exceptions. When House & Garden was photographing painter Kehinde Wiley for its annual Tastemakers issue, the photo team decided Wiley's equestrian subject matter and the converted church that he uses for a studio were ideal for shooting him on a horse. The problem was that photographer Jeff Riedel is debilitatingly allergic to horsehair — hence the hazmat intervention. House & Garden celebrated its Tastemakers at a party last Wednesday.

Fishbowl NY: Source Co-Founder: Hip Hop Weekly Turning A Profit
May 22, 2007
http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/

Dethroned Source co-founder Raymond "Benzino" Scott likes to rap — figuratively and literally — so it's no surprise his interview with SOHH.com is equal parts self-promotion ("I just wanna prove to the world that I take this rap shit serious") and ubiquitous trash-talk concerning competitors to his six-month-old launch, Hip-Hop Weekly:

"I think we're doing incredible when you consider that magazines like Giant, for instance, just came out... it was a $14 million investment and they just recently sold it for $230,000 or something," Zino explained.

I’m an Edster interning in NYC this summer looking for a place to stay. Willing to pay around $1,000 a month (+/- a few hundred). I will be working at the Conde Nast building at 3rd between 46th and 47th, so something around there, or where transportation isn't a hassle would be ideal. I'm fun, very laid-back and love meeting new people. I like to go out, but won’t bring the party back home. I'm a photography major so I like to go to photo exhibits, wine and dine, and of course, shop! I am going to be in NYC from June 3rd to about August 10th. E-mail dhcarney@syr.edu.
