What’s the Delay? …Lost in the City…Stylish Man
By Stephanie D. Smith & Irin Carmon

http://www.wwd.com/memopad/article/117727

WHAT'S THE DELAY?: When will Janice Min sign a new deal with Wenner Media? It's been a month since the Us Weekly editor in chief's contract expired, but for those familiar with Jann Wenner's negotiating tactics, the delay isn't that surprising. Two years ago, Min let her contract expire, holding out for better perks for her staff, but she signed a deal worth $1.2 million annually a few weeks later. In 2003, Min's predecessor, Bonnie Fuller, also worked without a contract — reportedly never signing the three-year contract offered to her and subsequently leaving to join American Media Inc. as editorial director.

LOST IN THE CITY: Pity recently departed intern Katie Baker. Writing in [n]tern, the oddly named annual magazine produced by Cond? Nast interns, she recalls being dispatched her first week to Long Island City to run an errand with her editor's corporate card. As fate (and chick lit) would have it, she went wildly off course and landed in both the Bronx and Harlem, where her wallet was stolen, editor's credit card included. There's more: In a twist omitted from the article, the magazine of Baker's employ, Jane, closed down from under her, sending her to Portfolio.

STYLISH MAN: Best Life has hired Eric Villency as its style and design contributor to round out the Rodale title's expertise on home decor and style. Villency, a former model, is president of the Maurice Villency furniture line, which was founded by Eric's grandfather (the younger Villency also walked around town with socialite Olivia Chantecaille and is now married to Kimberly Guilfoyle, ex-wife of San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom). Villency will pen a column, answer reader questions and make television appearances on behalf of the magazine.

Business 2.0 Gets a Stay of Execution
By Owen Thomas
7/31/07
http://valleywag.com/tech/comebacks/business-20-gets-a-stay-of-execution-284391.php

Everyone was expecting Business 2.0, the Time Inc.-owned tech magazine where -- full disclosure -- I used to work, to shut down this Friday after staffers sent the September issue to the printers. But that is, as of last night, no longer the case. Time Inc. is giving the magazine an eleventh-hour reprieve, in the manner of the governor calling in a pardon just as a sentenced prisoner is being strapped into the electric chair. Top execs at the publisher are now, instead of arranging funeral plans, sorting through a flood of offers to buy the magazine. Here's what's changed -- and why.

Business 2.0, up until late yesterday, was unquestionably in the process of shutting down. Columnists had been told not to bother turning anything in for October. Staffers -- both those whom Time Inc. hoped to retain, and those not on the favored lists -- had been seeking other employment. And a squad of higher-ups at Time Inc. had set travel plans to fly out to California to finish shutting the magazine down.

And now, most of those travel plans have been cancelled. Employees have been asked to stay to work on the October issue, and freelancers have been assigned pieces. And, I can only imagine as the fellow who used to write these things, hurried revisions are being made to a valedictory editor's letter. It's good news of the exceedingly inconvenient kind.

“Harper’s Bazaar” Editor Smart But Stubborn
By Anna

http://jezebel.com/gossip/signature-psychoses/harpers-bazaar-editor-glenda-bailey-smart-but-stubborn-284593.php

It's Day 2 of our stylnalysis (yeah we made that word up) of women's magazine editors' signatures: Today we've got graphologist Sheila Kurtz's take on charmingly batty Harper's Bazaar editor Glenda Bailey (rendered at left as a Simpsons character from the August issue, the one brilliant idea in the magazine in God-knows how long). After the jump, handwritten evidence that Ms. Bailey and the essentially irrelevant fashion magazine she oversees -- Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie on the cover of the June issue? What would Vreeland think??? -- may be so stubbornly (and sadly!) clueless that both are beyond the point of professional repair.

AMAZING Ed Apartment Ad
************
Two good guys who work in media/magazines are looking for a third roommate in their Upper East Side apartment, starting September 1. One unfurnished bedroom (with a closet!) is available in the three-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment.

The stunning fourth-floor walk-up is at 88th and Lexington Ave.—just two blocks from the 4/5/6. Really, the location is stellar: tons of bars, shopping, and restaurants are nearby, and Central Park, the Guggenheim and the Met are also just three blocks to the west. A one-year lease is required. Ideally, we’d like a roommate we could hang out with from time to time, but an instant friendship is not required. If interested, send an email to Tanner at lexingtonaptnyc@gmail.com and tell us a little bit about yourself ASAP.
