Why is John Tesh, the multitalented composer, lifestyle guru and former host of "Entertainment Tonight," using copyrighted content to fill his advice blog? We'd ask him ourselves if he weren't so damned popular.
CNN president Jonathan Klein has been hard at work this year remaking the network's primetime lineup, its most important programming block. But whether or not his effort proves successful, he won't be around to find out.
Forbes has given all of its reporters blogs in an effort to turn them into "entrepreneurial journalists." Now some of them are using their blogs to critique the magazine itself, and a top early target has been conservative writer Dinesh D'Souza's article last week about President Obama.
Yahoo has been trying to leverage its leading position in the portal business into a comparable dominance of premium content. But it's not so easy for a technology company to build a culture of journalism -- as the defection of one of its high-profile journalists illustrates.
Magazine publishers are at great pains these days to please Apple, whose fast-selling tablet computer, the iPad, just may be the key to their future survival. But following all the persnickety dictates handed down by Steve Jobs isn't always easy, as Sports Illustrated recently realized.
If you have any doubt that The Wall Street Journal is fast becoming steeped in the corporate culture of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., check these quotations. Like Fox News, it declares victory (prematurely) and expresses contempt for rivals.
Dennis Kneale's turbulent but entertaining tenure at CNBC is set to end, barring a last-minute plot twist. According to sources with knowledge of the situation, Kneale is likely to leave after his contract expires in the next several weeks.
Apple's new content guidelines for app developers are a muddled mess, and the rejection of a satirical app submitted by The Onion is a perfect example of why they need to be rewritten.
There's nothing newspaper and magazine publishers crave more right now than a straightforward way to sell subscriptions via Apple's App Store. But Apple's plan to let them do just that may not do much to help the beleaguered industry.
It's a busy time at Atlantic Media. Among President Justin Smith's initiatives are new iPad apps for The Atlantic magazine and a paid version for all Atlantic content. Plus, a total overhaul of National Journal. They're all possible because The Atlantic is set to be profitable again.
