Media Minutiae, The Paper Holds Their Folded Faces To The Floor Edition

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.jpg

  • Sure, the NYT can report, but can they count? Straight from the homepage into your third-day-of-the-strike world is this NYT headline: "Transit Strike Into 2nd Day; Stakes Climb." It's okay, NYT, Zollman forgives. [NYT]

  • Also, it totally reminds us of "Dark Side of the Moon," dude: Primedia Business is changing its name to "Prism Business Media Inc." because, according to Primedia-now-Prism CEO John French, a Prism is "like transmitting or reflecting light, like a ray of light passing through a prism...[s]hedding light, information, reflecting quality," and totally awesome with a pack of Cheetos and some incense. [Folio]

  • Bewkes? But he doesn't even know us! The very dimpled qualified Jeff Bewkes was promoted to president and chief operating officer of Time Warner yesterday by TW chair Richard Parsons following the retirement announcement of Don Logan, who had headed TW's entertainment and networks group with Bewkes. In related news, looks like the axe will fall further and deeper at Time Inc., with possible entire magazines folding. Yikes. Well, at least if you meet the cute guy with the dimples you'll know how to pronounce his name. [NYP, WWD]

  • New Mother Nature taking over redux: AP has voted Hurricane Katrina and her Gulf Coast sister hurricanes as the story of the year. No big surprise. What is surprising is the number two story: the Papal transition, edging out the Iraq war at #3. The Iraq war is at number three? No offense to Ratzinger, but there's something kind of wrong with that. Actually, the whole list is out of whack: surging oil prices beat out both the London bombings (#6) and the Pakistani earthquake (#7), followed closely by Terri Schiavo (who beat out Plamegate (#9) and Bush's teetering presidency at #10). Who votes on these things? I repeat, yikes. [AP]
