Hoping to capture movie audiences to boost shrinking ads, The New York Times will start giving away a pocket-sized movie magazine to each ticket buyer.

The free magazine, OnMovies, will be distributed for now only at Loews Cineplex theaters in the chain's largest markets: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Dallas and Seattle.

Loews considered a similar giveway four years ago with another company, but the plan collapsed.

Mike Price, Time Inc. Settle SI Lawsuit

Texas-El Paso football coach Mike Price felt vindicated after a settlement was reached with Time Inc. over a Sports Illustrated article recounting a night of drinking at a topless bar in Florida.

"I'm one happy man right now," Price said Monday. "I can't tell you how much I appreciated my wife, Joyce, and my family's loyalty and love. Without their strength, encouragement and support I don't know if I would have made it."

Price sued the magazine for $20 million, claiming he was defamed and slandered by a story detailing his actions the night he visited a topless bar in Pensacola, Fla., in April 2003 while still head coach at Alabama.

Fortune's Jubilee Issue Is Full of Riches
By Peter Carlson

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/10/AR2005101001642.html
The folks who put out Fortune magazine are geniuses. In 1949, they predicted that computers would create a "second industrial revolution." In 1971, they forecast the rise of the VCR. In 1977, long before Prozac, they predicted the impact of mood-altering drugs. In 1980, they recognized that the Solidarity movement in Poland was "a truly epochal event -- an irreparable crack in the foundations of the communist order."

The folks who put out Fortune are idiots. In 1934, they dismissed fascism as "essentially a local issue." In 1939, they announced that it was "practically impossible for Roosevelt to be elected in 1940." In 1961, they reported that American Protestantism was fading away. In 1974, they raised alarms about the threat of "global cooling."

Obviously, the folks who put out Fortune have had their ups and downs over the past 75 years. But, as their fascinating new 75th-anniversary special issue reminds us, they publish the best business magazine in America.

Memo Pad: Cornered Office

Poor Joanne Lipman. First The Wall Street Journal sends her off after 22 years of service with a few pretzels, some cheese slices and wine, according to New York magazine. And now Cond?© Nast can barely find a place for her to sit.

Lipman begins her new job today as editor in chief of the forthcoming Cond?© Nast business magazine, set to launch in 2007, and the magazine's corresponding Web site, expected to make its debut sometime next year. But with the company (which is also the parent of WWD) still in the midst of an ongoing real estate shuffle, there is not yet enough space freed up in its 4 Times Square headquarters to assign permanent offices to Lipman or David Carey, the new business group's president.

Until arrangements can be made for publications or employees to relocate to the company's three alternate Manhattan addresses, Carey will continue to sit on Cond?© Nast's executive floor, on 11.

Disney Publishing Worldwide Inc.'s Wondertime next year will become the newest player in a competitive sandbox of magazines seeking the attention of mothers with young children.

Oversized like Real Simple magazine and with similar white space and a trapezoid logo, Wondertime is for women with children up to age 6 who are keen to nurture their offspring's love of learning.

"It's more about the joy of parenting and less about the job of parenting," David A. Mevorah, New York-based publisher of Wondertime, said of the magazine's positioning.
