Norm Grills Jann

Forty years as a magazine editor and publisher seemed to have hardly taken their toll on Jann Wenner's energy — or his bite — at least judging from a lunch interview Thursday with Carlyle Group senior adviser Norm Pearlstine organized by ASME. Pearlstine, in explaining why he was skipping Wenner's biographical details, wryly recalled sitting through years of ASME lunches "watching Time Inc. not get awards" as Wenner made trips to the podium. He then said Wenner had been "pretty cavalier" about the Internet, asking, "Are you going to continue to ignore it?" Wenner denied the characterization, saying he preferred to wait for widespread high-speed access and let bigger companies figure out how to develop on the Web. After all, he said, "Time Inc. lost billions on it." (Pearlstine was editor in chief of Time Inc. during the problematic Time Warner-AOL merger.)

Wenner did say Rolling Stone was looking at implementing social networking to facilitate music fans seeing live music. (A spokesman for the company later told WWD that Men's Journal's site will also be growing, probably by next fall.)

What about the risk of becoming "my father's magazine," as Pearlstine described the threat of the digital age? Wenner pointed out the digital music revolution had also helped young people find the music that inspired his magazine. "Who was just telling me that Rolling Stone led to them reconnecting with their kid?" Wenner said, looking out at the audience. Portfolio publisher David Carey tentatively raised a hand. "Maybe I'm deluding myself," Wenner concluded, "but the richness of the field is as great as it's ever been."

Pick Any One

No matter whether it's Al Gore, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or J.K. Rowling, Time's Person of the Year 2007 will likely be a face, instead of a theme like last year's honoree "You," aka user-generated content.

"I'd like to pick one person. We've done a lot of themes over the last few years and it would be nice to get back to that original concept," said Time managing editor Richard Stengel at the magazine's annual Person of the Year debate luncheon on Thursday. Most attendees at the event felt the same way, save for "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams, who has served on the panel for several years, and "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg. Both backed Mother Earth and the word "green," respectively. The short list from My Space co-founder Chris DeWolfe, former Virginia senator George Allen and activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali included Gore, Gen. David Petraeus, Rupert Murdoch and French president Nicolas Sarkozy.

One concept that may still have a shot at this year's honors is the subprime mortgage crisis, which Stengel believed could be personified in some way. "Maybe you find someone who bought a house outside of Detroit who defaulted on their mortgage. You could say that it's like the butterfly wing that caused a hurricane later." Time's Person (hopefully) of the Year will be unveiled the week of Dec. 21.

Spy in from the Cold

Those crazy Spy guys are being reunited at Vanity Fair.

Kurt Andersen has just inked a one-year deal to write two big articles for Graydon Carter at Vanity Fair estimated to be valued in the mid-five figures.

The two were once inseparable pals when they collaborated on the magazine's 1986 launch and then co-edited the trend-setting but ultimately money-losing Spy into the early 1990s. They met when both were young writers at Time.

FINE PRINT:
In order to win a "Chat with an EIC," a one-on-one meeting with an editor in chief, you must buy a raffle ticket. Ticket sales will only be accepted by junior-level editors and recent graduates (defined as two years from your undergraduate or graduate school graduation date). Tickets can be purchased at the Ed2010 happy hour at The Crooked Knife between 7 p.m. and 8:29 p.m. Tickets are $3 at the event. No one person can buy more than 10 tickets to each raffle. On each ticket, you must write your full name, job title (if not employed, say "unemployed") and email address. Winners will be drawn at random at the Ed2010 Happy Hour at The Crooked Knife on November 14th at 8:30 p.m. Tickets will also be sold online for $4 each. Online tickets will be incorporated into tickets sold at the event; on the Pay Pal form you MUST include your current job title to prove that you are a junior editor and/or your graduation date from college. Tickets that are incomplete and job title or graduation date is not indicated will NOT be entered into the raffle. Tickets will be sold online until 6 p.m. on the day of the event. You do not have to be present to win; we will contact you via your email address. If you do not respond within 7 days to the e-mail announcing that you won, another winner will be drawn at random in your place. Ed2010 will send out an introductory e-mail to you and the EIC, and exchange contact information, but will not make scheduling arrangements—that is the winner's responsibility. Meetings are valid for 6 months after winning. In case of unforeseen circumstances, Ed2010 reserves the right to substitute the EIC with whom the winner will meet. (But, seriously, that's not going to happen. David and Denise are on board! We just have to cover our butts.)
