COND? Nast Chairman S.I. Newhouse Jr. sat down Wednesday with Portfolio Editor-in-Chief Joanne Lipman to take a very serious look at every page in the upcoming November issue of Portfolio, his $100 million pet project.

When the meeting was over, a flurry of Newhouse-dictated changes ensued, and that had some staffers concluding that Si was not happy with the original incarnation of Portfolio issue No. 4.

"He was in the weeds," said one source. "He's never asked for re-dos before. It suggests the old man wasn't terribly happy."

2. Folio
Editor Includes Entire Novella in Margin

Esquire editor David Granger loves magazines. But he doesn’t always love them. “F*ck, I’m still editing a magazine,” Granger told the crowd at New York's Marriott Marquee during the 2007 Folio: Show Tuesday.

That realization was a few years ago. Granger, he said, then became obsessed with motivating his staff to push the boundaries of the print medium. “Out of desperation, despair and despondency,” as Granger put it.

The National Magazine Award collector began to tinker with the magazine’s design, redesigning the front-of-the-book and editor’s letter to include user-generated content. Granger also began to insert design elements into the margins of the pages, often without explanation.
