Its spiritual legacy in glossy print such as Vanity Fair and glam excess seems to be keeping it stuck. Some people are born with power. Some have power thrust upon them. And, there are those who struggle to acquire power. But it is the rare human being who dies with power. Along the way most lose it. Yesterday it was announced that at NBC Universal, the News Group's Andy Lack has lost his. He will be gone by the end of the month. MORE
Or will it go to Glossy Heaven declaring itself the ruler on good taste? Okay the all-important September edition of VOGUE was a bust in terms of ad pages. But that doesn't mean we can't save Anna Wintour and the publication. First out, there gotta be a massive spread in VOGUE on consignment shops around the U.S. which stock size-12 brandname clothes, including dress-up for the holidays. MORE
For him change might take the form of just giving up on the glossy world. "How can they pay the bills?" " That's what I asked several people in-the-know about how the old-line clueless in Manhattan were paying their bills. Their fixed costs were high. Their models for business were stuck in pre-digital, pre-crash days so they obviously weren't bringing in too much revenue. MORE
That marketing ploy is as old as the magical thinking that somehow we will receive an invite to the Vanity Fair Academy Award party, instead of just reading about it in the glossy. "The company [Ello] filed in Delaware as a Public Benefit Corp., MORE

Unfortunately most of those in old media were so embedded in glossy journalism that they didn't develop other marketable skills. What happens to those old-media folks after they get laid off? Seems they fall right into poverty, if they're lucky to find any job at all. On Gawker, Hamilton Nolan reports that Amanda Ernst is now earning one-third what she did on a print magazine as editor on digital site Mediabistro.com. MORE
Like, how do glossies serve the common good of news, gossip, and special-interest agendas? It's been a situation of competing sources. As the world awaits the impacts of the McKinsey and Company study of Conde Nast, rumors have it that no titles will be touched and that five are going to be finito. MORE
To be sure, the graphics have improved – glossy pictures whizz past us at an ever-increasing rate – but that’s no excuse for shallow talks, shallow slides, and taking your talk at speed because you don’t have much to say. One of the modern masters of data – and specifically data presented to an audience on a slide – is Hans Rosling. He’s spoken regularly at TED and TEDx talks about big issues like child mortality, and his talks are mesmerizing. MORE

Paul's became major stories in the influential glossy Vanity Fair. A university's branding attracts funding, research initiatives, brandname professors and applications from students. MORE
His saga is exactly the kind glossy Vanity Fair features. Given his track record for bizarre behavior (never mind that he allegedly murdered his father), Thomas Gilbert Jr. should be having an easy time of it. MORE
Clearly the golden age is over for glossy magazines. The only good news at Conde Nast, reports THE NEW YORK OBSERVER, is that NEW YORKER head David Remnick won't be interviewed by McKinsey and Company. That means the magazine will likely be left alone. Otherwise, the the news looks bad. MORE
The media, such as glossy Vanity Fair , had a ball opening up the preppy school ethos for detailed inspection. For the second time, Owen Labrie has requested the New Hampshire Supreme Court grant him a new trial. The major argument is inadequate defense the first time around. MORE
Mmmm, this is the kind of saga glossies such as Vanity Fair love to chronicle in great detail. At Fox News and at Uber, a public relations crisis meant parachuting in a brandname law firm. As a result, media legend Roger Ailes was ousted and tech genius Travis Kalanick resigned. MORE
Yet, the site never really evolved into a polished glossy type. Drudge Report started in 1994 in a studio apartment. Essentially it was a digital conservative tabloid. A flashing blue light to signal a big breaking story was its signature. MORE
Its monthly glossy still sticks with the elite. Yes, influential Vanity Fair has covered the tragedy of the Florida Massacre. That's breaking news and its writer Benjamin Landy jumped right in. Here is his take. MORE

Before we look at developing article ideas and pitching them to editors, we should talk money. MORE
They aren't paying for traditional journalism, much of Conde Nast glossy stuff, or insightful self-expression. That last stand for journalism and other pure-writer types Mediabistro.com might become a sort of recruiting source for Mickey D jobs. Yeah, it's gotten that bad and there's no light at the end of the tunnel. MORE
Its former head Bonnie Fuller remade it from a tabloid into a glossy. Without gossip, just as without sex, civilization couldn't continue. What goes through the grapevine warns of danger, flags opportunity, and reinforces social norms. MORE
And the future of many other Conde Nast glossies - which require plenty of ads to support - is very iffy. If there are too few ads there could be few issues remaining for the glossies. Just two years ago, the world was still thinking ad revenue. As Rebecca Buckman reports in the May 11, 2009 edition of FORBES , tech entrepreneur Glenn Kelman "got the cold shoulder from many Silicon Valley venture capitalists." MORE
Its outgoing editor in chief Graydon Carter was known for the glossy print edition of the magazine and the gala Oscar Party (which some perceived as excessive gilded age). That glossy is not alone. MORE
But so are glossies Vanity Fair and Vogue. New social network Ello's signature is No Advertising. It even has a manifesto about those anti-promotional values. Here in Bloomberg Business Week, Brad Stone reports on Ello and interviews its Chief Executive Officer Paul Budnitz. MORE
Gone are the author tours, the marketing blitzes, the ad placements in glossy magazines. The author and book business is changing rapidly, and the news is not good for a lot of the players. Fortunately, they can take a note from the music business and change their modus operandi to survive. MORE
Vanity Fair has managed to not only survive but thrive in the post-print era. Now the issue is: How will it do in the post-Graydon Carter one? After leading the Vanity Fair franchise for a quarter of a century, Carter will be stepping down in December. His future plans are uncertain or, at least, he is playing his cards close to his vest. Here are the details in the New York Post. Carter knew to zero in on the memes of our turbulent times. MORE
That's what Steve Fishman reports - ironically - in high-profile glossy NEW YORK Magazine in his cover story on the end of the golden age of magazines.

That glossy had already covered the couple a number of times. They were once a power couple. Ivy league educated. Sophisticated. She a tech venture capitalist, then oversaw a social media platform, and next an advocate for leveling the playing field for women in Silicon Valley. MORE
To the surprise of most media watchers, Conde Nast started up business glossy PORTFOLIO a few years ago, then killed it this year. With Politico.com owning the media influence game in Washington D.C., the worst can be expected for the town's newspaper business. WASHINGTON POST is being subsidized by the parent's successful Kaplan business. The amazing thing, though, is that Rev. Moon's WASHINGTON TIMES has been holding on at all. MORE
Those clouds over glossies won't budge. This long weekend, everyone is looking up at those planted over all those plum jobs at Time Inc. Remember how you had to be an Ivy to snag one of them or start in the typing pool? Now, all us first-gen college folks who found our own sweet spot out there are thrilled there was no room for us in that elite space. We learned cunning and hustle. We also learned patience. MORE
We can look forward to an influential glossy like Vanity Fair to do a major feature on this latest school for scandal. Between 1959 and the early 1980s, credible evidence exists that two monks at Portsmouth Abbey School sexually abused the students. MORE

" The same bursting of the bubble occurred in glossy magazines, book publishing, advertising, and legal services. Whoever thought it was an educational experience to throw thousands of adolescents together might look like a damn fool today. The web is making that rite of passage of going to college unnecessary.

George's in the August issue by Benjamin Wallace in glossy VF. George's prep school, where annual tuition/fees total $56K, has joined the conga line of schools featured in Vanity Fair for internal misdeeds that were handled badly. Here is the article on St. MORE
Their internal departments broke up large topics into several narrow subjects and covered each separately in their newsletters and glossy magazines. Mergers and acquisitions create redundancies. And redundancies result in layoffs. So, editorial types should be very nervous - yet again. MORE
The same concern applies to glossy VANITY FAIR. Read the commentary by THE NEW YORK TIMES executive editor Bill Keller and the newspaper's genteel values are obvious. One wonders if it can afford to stay that way and not morph into more of sweatshop like those operated by purely digital sites. For the second quarter, THE TIMES reports, the company itself suffered a net loss of $119.7 million. That was mostly from a non-cash write-down of $161.3 MORE
In its August issue, influential glossy Vanity Fair has a long feature on the rage of the alumni about the sex abuse and the school's tolerance over the decades. Finally elite prep school in Rhode Island, St. MORE
And it was assumed that being a Friend of Graydon Carter in the glam glossy niche of Vanity Fair ensured a long stay in investigative reporting. In the heady world of media, cool and glam used to shield many in the workforce from reductions-in-staff (RIFs). MORE
That was the first time in light years I picked up a glossy and read it. The latest bad coming from the Conde Nast empire is that it could be losing $1 billion in ad revenue for 2009. That was Newsweek Inc. estimates. What more bad will be coming out. Graydon Carter, publisher of VANITY FAIR, and his fellow leaders at Conde Nast have every reason to continue to bulk up on comfort food. MORE
