Morning Media Menu: February 19

Today on the Menu it’s an all in the family party as we welcome mediabistro.com founder Laurel Touby and BusinessWeek‘s Jon Fine for a lively exchange of ideas (someone should really consider giving these two a show of their own).

Among of the variety of topics up for discussion today was what paid-content might look like down the line — Fine thinks the iTunes analogy is “asinine.” Whether consortiums are the future — Laurel says yes! Why Playboy finds itself in such dire straights. And finally, whether or not late night is on its last legs — some conflicting views on this. You can listen to the podcast live every morning at 9amET on BlogTalkRadio.com/mediabistro and call in at 646-929-0321. You can also subscribe to the iTunes feed of the podcast by clicking the “iTunes” button.
