*** Sin City *** Ed??™s off to Vegas this weekend. He hopes he can find his favorite ???Kiss the Frog??? video slot machine again. *** News *** 1. New York Post Cond?© Bunch Has Lunch By Keith J. Kelly Dec. 3, 2004 http://www.nypost.com/business/kelly.htm The tree at Rockefeller Center is lit ??” and the Cond?© Nast elite have gathered to give thanks at the annual holiday luncheon thrown by their boss, Chairman S.I. Newhouse Jr., at the Four Seasons. It is one of Newhouse's last official acts of the year. After hosting the bash Wednesday, he split for his European year-end vacation, with plans to return in early January. (Being the richest man in New York has its privleges.) The biggest question of the day: Where will Vanity Fair Editor-in-Chief Graydon Carter be seated? Company spokeswoman Maurie Perl says the seating arrangement has no bearing on the corporate pecking order. "The important thing is that you're in the room," she repeated again this year. But still, the choice of seatmates by Newhouse and, to a lesser extent, new CEO Charles Townsend, is closely watched by the chattering classes for indications of who has been naughty or nice.

DMNews Forbes.com Removes Paid Links From News Stories By Brian Morrissey Dec. 3, 2004 http://www.dmnews.com/cgi-bin/artprevbot.cgi?article_id=31184 Forbes.com has quietly removed paid advertiser links in its news stories after objections from its editorial staff. The Web publisher recently stopped using paid listings provided by Vibrant Media's IntelliTxt system in its news articles. Forbes.com was the first major online news publisher to include IntelliTxt links in editorial content. The links were removed after editors objected to the appearance of advertising influencing editorial decisions. (more online) 3. Gawker Toby Young: Bob's Your Monkey's Uncle Dec. 3, 2004 http://www.gawker.com/news//toby-young-bobs-your-monkeys-uncle-026877.php We'd mostly forgotten about Toby Young, the British writer who managed to turn his coffee break at Vanity Fair into a cottage industry replete with book, movie deal, and status as the go-to commentator whenever Graydon Carter so much as burps the wrong way. Then we were confronted by Young in the pages of Times two weeks ago, in an arts piece by Sarah Lyall about the one-man stage version of his book, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, running at London's Arts Theatre until January 8th. Finally, Young gets the role he was literally born to play: himself. (more online) 4. CBS.MarketWatch.com Time's Rees applies his `formula' to Israel By Jon Friedman Dec. 3, 2004 http://cbs.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7BE8339E21-4EEF-46CC-9AFA-EAA6A0C302C9%7D&siteid=mktw&dist= NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Matt Rees, Time's Jerusalem bureau chief since 2000, likes to tell the story about the American correspondent he met in Israel. The radio journalist couldn't stop gushing how his time in the Holy Land had been an eye-opener. Rees, who has reported from Israel for the past eight years, nodded in recognition and asked him, when did you fly in? "Yesterday," he shot back. That reporter's impressionable impression underscores Rees's general unease about many foreign correspondents. They're in a too big of a hurry to form a conclusion. (more online) 5. Slate How closely should The New Yorker police its writers' speaking engagements? By Jack Shafer Posted Dec. 2, 2004, at 10:28 PM PT http://slate.msn.com/id/2110572/ If the ethics police recruited me, I doubt that I'd ever rise higher on the force than flatfoot. It's not that investigating journalistic conflicts of interest isn't a worthy enterprise; it's just that sorting out and adjudicating the particulars is too much of a tweezers-and-micrometer chore for my liking: I do my best work with a ball-peen hammer and a yardstick. Dispatch me after the reporter who allegedly plagiarized, but please don't make me rule on whether a Washington Post reporter whose spouse works for the Department of Agriculture can cover politics for the paper, too. But every now and again, I enter the ethics zone to see what, if anything, I'm missing. This week, an anonymous e-mailer asked if I knew that two New Yorker staff writers, Malcolm Gladwell and James Surowiecki, collect speaking fees from corporations and trade associations while writing on business topics for the magazine. Although the Anonymouse acknowledged that he could name no specific New Yorker article, paragraph, or sentence tainted by a speaking fee, he demanded that I bring this subject to the public's attention. (The Leigh Agency represents both Gladwell and Surowiecki on the speaking circuit. See this page for a 45-minute video clip of Gladwell on the stump.) I've repeatedly criticized other reporters for relying on anonymous sources, so I recognize the irony of me writing a piece based on an anonymous allegation.
