Media Minutiae

Bullets West of Broadway

  • Rebecca Traister is necessary: With typical flair and good sense, Traister cuts through the MoDo worship (we’re talking to you, Todd S. Purdum) and backlash, noting that it’s touched a nerve because she’s asking uncomfortable questions that are long overdue. No repli-cocks in this piece but we still liked it. [Salon]
  • Nat Ives knows the ABCs of the ABC: Time Inc. wanted the Audit Bureau of Circulations to examine the “sponsored circulation” rule ahead of schedule. The ABC said no. Nat Ives knows what it all means. [AdAge]
  • Actually, TMFTML is counting: TMFTML’s Alex Balk suggests that top NYT biz columnist Joseph Nocera double-check his facts before being all smug and dismissive. He also wonders if Harry Hurt III is for real. I bet Harry Hurt II could tell us. [TMFTML]
  • The union (forever) of my two favorite twosomes: The White Stripes cover Tegan & Sara’s “Walking With A Ghost.” Not at all media related and I don’t care. p.s. Tegan & Sara are Canadian. Chekkit here.
