AVN To Consolidate Print Publications
"Retailers, distributors, video producers, webmasters, sex toy manufacturers, lingerie designers, and other adult industry professionals can still rely on AVN to be the definitive trade publication for this diverse and robust industry. However, today's demand to deliver value to the advertiser is greater than ever before, and AVN is in the unique position of being able to leverage its 27 year-old brand in order to significantly expand the reach of its products and services."

Staff Cuts At Variety
We recently completed our quarterly forecast for the full year and the revenue outlook continues to concern us. On January 26th I wrote to you that we might reduce further our staffing levels if the economic circumstances became worse than our already conservative expectations for 2009. We are in that unfortunate situation today. Smith also warns staff that more cuts and furloughs may be on the horizon. Monday Apr 06, 2009
New Editor In Chief At Variety
Bart's new title is "vice president and editorial director of Variety", but it's meaningless. He and the company are playing this like it's voluntary, but Peter has been pushed "essentially up and out" of the newsroom, as one of my sources puts it. But he'll be allowed to continue as the "face" of Variety in public -- which is something Bart cares a lot about. His column and blog will continue. Friday Jan 16, 2009
Democrats Concerned America Not Ready For Digital TV
Congress doesn't want us to miss our stories any more than the networks do. Variety.com reports on a push by the House to delay the switch to digital broadcasting on February 17: Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-West Va.), the incoming chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, and Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Los Angeles) have introduced bills that would delay the switch until June 12. Obama administration officials last week called on Congress to delay the transition, saying that the federal effort to prepare consumers for the switch had been insufficient and underfunded.That's right, one more transition the Bush Administration bungled.

Animaniacs Take on 'Variety Speak'"In Hollywood they have a different language that they speak. It's spoken by these folks that went to school for just one week." Thanks to Milk and Cookies for this clip. Friday Dec 19, 2008
Finke And Her Scurrilous Rumors Are Denied
She proclaimed like a wild banshee that Hollywood Reporter publisher Eric Mika was out. And that head of advertising Rose Einstein was in. As seems to be par for the course for Finke, her ducks weren't all in a row. An insider at Nielsen, which owns the Reporter, told FBLA: "I can tell you there are no current plans for leadership changes at THR." Wednesday Dec 10, 2008
Variety Was On The Block, Or Was It?
That was then. Four days later, all bets are off. Reed Elsevier seems to be saying no dice to any and all offers. Citing the poor economy (what else is new?) and frozen credit markets, Reed Elsevier said it wants to wait until conditions are more favorable. Chief Executive Officer Crispin Davis planned to sell the unit to make Reed Elsevier less dependent on ad sales and swings in the economy, while using the proceeds to repay debt and safeguard its credit rating. One of three bidders (probably Bain Capital) dropped out last weekend, according to two people familiar with the process. "Let's be honest, these are tough markets and the price being proposed was just too low," Alex De Groote, an analyst at Panmure Gordon & Co. in London, told Bloomberg. "This was the only deal anywhere and it was almost bizarre it was still going on in this economy." It might be back to the drawing board for Reed Elsevier, but Variety says it's nonetheless doing quite well. Saturday Dec 06, 2008
Variety Weekly Will Remain As Much -- Still Weekly
In fact, the idea was seriously considered way back in 1993 when I started as a reporter at Variety. It was discarded, largely because the Weekly Variety issue is considered a decent earner. And as Stiles pointed out, in this Internet era of instant news, the Weekly provides a thoughtful forum for analysis of that news. But as all CEOs are wont to do, he left the door open. "Not yet, but it's still a possibility," he said.
