<title><![CDATA['Cond&eacute; Nast meets Demand Media': New Platform Connects Indie Publishers with Top-Tier Advertisers]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="startup_ny banner.jpg" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/original/startup_ny.jpg" width="489" height="30" /></p>

<p><img alt="Ari Goldberg.png" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/original/Ari Goldberg.png" align = "right" width="183" height="250" /></p>

<p>Strap on your sandals, bloggers, and get ready to give the big publishing companies a run for their money - the creators of <a href="http://www.stylecaster.com">StyleCaster</a> just announced the launch of <a href="http://www.wearethemasthead.com/">The Masthead</a>, a new platform that gives influential style sites of all sizes the same access to advertising dollars as the makers of glossy magazines. </p>

<p>Co-founder and CEO<strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ari-Goldberg-profile.html"> Ari Goldberg</a></strong> wasn't always into women's lifestyle - he started out in sports and entertainment marketing.  "I went from hanging with guys who could dunk to tall, skinny models," he said.  "It's not a bad switch." </p>

<p>Goldberg was working with <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/LeBron-James-profile.html">LeBron James</a></strong> and his LRMR Marketing company when he met StyleCaster Media Group's primary angel investor <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Dan-Gilbert-profile.html">Dan Gilbert</a></strong>, who also owns the Cleveland Cavaliers.  "'I don't invest in businesses, I invest in people,'" Gilbert had told him. </p>

<p>In this case, Gilbert was investing in Ari and his brother <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/David-Goldberg-profile.html">David Goldberg</a></strong>, as well as their other co-founder <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Albert-Azout-profile.html">Albert Azout</a></strong>. "No one works harder than my brother," said Goldberg. "He's my guy." In 2007 the team built their first property, StyleCaster, a lifestyle site with original and curated content.  </p>

<p>With just under $5 million in seed funding, the business has "progressed more like a movie than a tech company," Goldberg said, by focusing on perfecting the site's content before reaching out to advertisers.  People go into the "vanity industries" of fashion and entertainment for "reasons other than money," he said. At their core, these publishers have a lot of "pride and integrity in what they do."</p>]]>

<title>The Forward Relaunches &apos;The Jew And The Carrot&apos; Blog In Time For The High Holidays</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="jew_and_carrot_9.3.10.jpg" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/original/jew_and_carrot_9.3.10.jpg" width="400" height="87" align="center"/></p>

<p>Jewish weekly newspaper the </i>Forward</i> has partnered with Hazon, a non-profit, to relaunch their "<a href="http://blogs.forward.com/the-jew-and-the-carrot/">The Jew and the Carrot</a>" food blog on the paper's site.</p>

<p>The blog will serve as a place to explore issues relating to Jewish culture's relationship to food, including presenting sustainable/organic food options to readers.</p>

<p>One blog post currently on the site, however, dissects an issue that deeply impacts, as the blog puts it, "Jews and Gentiles, and Manhattanites and Brooklyners" alike: <a href="http://blogs.forward.com/the-jew-and-the-carrot/130982/">the bagel tax</a> (of doom). And, in preparation for Rosh Hashanah, the blog provides recipes for sophisticated honey consumption --  <a href="http://blogs.forward.com/the-jew-and-the-carrot/130977/">mead and hard cider cocktails</a>.</p>]]>

Tribune Broadcasting named <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Eric-Meyrowitz-profile.html">Eric Meyrowitz</a></strong> as vice president and general manager of WPIX. Meyrowitz, who had served as VP and GM for Tribune's WDCW-TV in Washington, D.C. since 2004, assumes the job immediately. </p>

<p>"Eric is the right guy for this job," said Tribune Broadcasting President Jerry Kersting in a statement. "Even more so because he's originally from New York--he understands the city, the importance of local news and the rich tradition of WPIX."</p>

<p>"This is an incredible opportunity to lead a great station in the best media market in the country," said Meyrowitz, a New York native. "With new syndicated programming launching this fall, and the expansion of its morning news show, WPIX will continue growing its legacy and I'm honored to be a part of it. Plus, I get to return home-I can't wait to get started."</p>

<p>In June, Tribune fired longtime WPIX president and GM <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Betty-Ellen-Berlamino-profile.html">Betty Ellen Berlamino</a></strong>. She started at the station in 1994, and was promoted to general manager in 2000. </p>

<p>Reportedly, veteran anchor <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jim-Watkins-profile.html">Jim Watkins</a></strong> will not have his contract renewed by WPIX. His deal with the station was set to expire at the end of August. </p>

<p>A station spokesperson had no comment on Watkins' situation at Channel 11. </p>

<p>Watkins is on vacation this week from his <em>PIX News at Ten</em> duties. </p>

<p><b>Update</b>: A tipster tells FishbowlNY, despite the changes at WPIX, Watkins is currently negotiating his contract. "He is still in," writes the tipster.</p>

<title>TechStars Incubator Coming to NYC</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="startup_ny banner.jpg" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/original/startup_ny.jpg" width="489" height="30" /></p>

<p>Young startups in the Big Apple are about to get a boost from Colorado-based startup incubator TechStars.</p>

<p>New York City will join Boulder, Colo., Seattle, and Boston as the fourth city to play host to the group's mentorship and seed stage investment program.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.techstars.org/nyc/">TechStars</a> is now accepting applications for the 2011 New York program, which starts in January. The three month boot camp seeds participating startups with capital (up to $18,000), provides shared office space, and connects founders with established tech mentors. To help fund future programs, TechStars takes a 6% equity stake in company.</p>

<p>"TechStars is built on a mentorship-driven approach and in New York, the biggest city in the world, there are lots of amazing mentors," according to an announcement on the TechStars web site.</p>

<p>The NYC program boasts an impressive lineup of high profile mentors, including <a href="http://foursquare.com/">Foursquare</a> co-founder <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Dennis-Crowley-profile.html">Dennis Crowley</a></strong>, <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> founder <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/David-Karp-profile.html">David Karp</a></strong>, and <a href="http://www.unionsquareventures.com/">Union Square Ventures</a> financier <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Fred-Wilson-profile.html">Fred Wilson</a></strong>.</p>

<p>TechStars founder and CEO <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/David-Cohen-profile.html">David Cohen</a></strong> is moving to the city to oversee the new program, while seed stage investor <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/David-Tisch-profile.html">David Tisch</a></strong> is slated to manage.</p>

<p>Over the years, the program has yeilded some <a href="http://www.techstars.org/results/">impressive results</a>. TechStars graduate Socialthing, a social site aggregation tool, was acquired by AOL in 2008, and mass emailing service <a href="http://sendgrid.com/">SendGrid</a> raised more than $5 million in VC funding in 2009.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.techstars.org/apply/">application</a> deadline for the 2011 NYC program is November 21.</p>]]>
