As part of its expanding entertainment coverage, NYMag.com has hired its first West Coast editor.

The New York magazine site announced yesterday that Claude Brodesser-Akner, a media and entertainment reporting veteran, would be joining the team of its Vulture blog. Brodesser-Akner has been covering the industry since 1996, working for Mediaweek and Variety, editing our sister site FishbowlLA and creating the weekly public radio show “The Business.” He also helped launch TMZ.com and served as the Los Angeles bureau chief for Advertising Age. He was most recently a contributor for Wired.

This latest hire is part of NYMag.com’s plans to expand its entertainment and culture coverage, led by former Entertainment Weekly editor Josh Wolk, who joined the site in November.

Erin Andrews Peephole Scandal Continues To Make News

For the second day in a row, The New York Post featured ESPN‘s Erin Andrews and her peephole scandal on its cover. Yes, it is newsworthy when anyone — especially a sexy sports reporter — is unknowingly filmed while staying at a hotel, but the invasion of privacy questions that this story raises have echoed through newsrooms. Did the Post breach some ethical code in putting blurry, blacked out photos of Andrews on page one yesterday?

Today, the Post reported that Andrews wants to put the peephole predator behind bars, but will she also seek legal action against those news outlets that publicized the photos of her? In another weird twist, TMZ.com said today that ESPN thinks that the people behind the video tapes were somehow connected to her production team because they were “familiar with Erin’s travel schedule as well as her accommodations.”

Do you think the Post and others — like TMZ, Fox News and CBS — made the right decision in publishing or broadcasting photos or parts of the illicit video? Take our poll and leave your comments below.

Would you have published photos or broadcast clips from the Erin Andrews video?(polling)
