It looks as if after the merger, the only thing that will be left of Newsweek will be the cover page.

The Daily Beast, agreed this week to enter into a 50-50 venture that would pair it with Newsweek. So how does this work, Diller has to come up with .50 cents?

do they still use linotype....because when they take that final crap, I sure could use some linotype to melt down for hard cast .44 magnum loads....
That would be fitting.

I hope they retain that fantabulous Conventional Wisdom page. I read that religiously to see how to dress every day. Megan McCain has to be their BFF.

This bit of printing trivia always fascinated me. It is kind of emblematic of how things used to be when us rabble didn’t own printing presses and the elites only controlled what we read.
Now we ALL have printing presses AND the means of distribution with the interweb thingy.

-——The new, “flatter” structure ———
There is no hierarchy. Everyone reports to Burke.
That seems a bit much to me

Many, many changes ahead for NBC. Lots of deadwood about to be trimmed to pay for this buyout.

Fascinating that Diller is a computer geek! Auletta’s pretty good writing on media stuff. I’ve read a couple of his books.

When asked about possible job cuts on Friday, Ms. Brown said, “We’re going to have to look at the whole business model, the whole editorial model, and we’ll have to make our assessments.”If they want to make money, they might have to go conservative.

And FR is interactive instead of one-way. I’m sure you can comment on the Daily Beast blog, but it’s not a conversation or debate.
