Bringing Brand Emeril Beyond the Food Network (AdAge)
After more than a decade as perhaps the Food Network's most ubiquitous TV chef, Emeril Lagasse is kicking his media empire up a notch. For starters, there's his relationship with Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, which signed Emeril to a 10-year contract worth $50 million in February. He's also distancing himself from the Food Network with the recent shuttering of his longtime cooking show, Emeril Live.

Is it Time for Time to Scale Back its Frequency? (Folio:)
John Brady: U.S. News & World Report is cutting its schedule to biweekly. And now Time, the greatest newsmagazine ever, is in freefall. Readers are bailing, advertising is down (some 30 percent or more when last checked), and one senses that staff resumes are being updated as this is writ. Clearly, the redesign, relaunch, and restaffing has been a disaster. Maybe it should go quarterly.

Ousted Chicago TV Reporter Sues Station (Chicago Tribune)
It took a year, but Amy Jacobson has gone from swimsuit to lawsuit. The former WMAQ-Ch. 5 reporter is seeking more than $1 million in damages from WBBM-Ch. 2 parent CBS, Channel 2 boss Joe Ahern and others, complaining that a tape it aired of her in bathing attire at the home of a potential news source in July 2007 subjected Jacobson to "enormous public humiliation and disgrace."

Washington Post Signals Shift With Brauchli as New Editor (NYT)
Signaling a generational change at one of the nation's most influential newspapers, the new publisher of the Washington Post on Monday selected an outsider as the paper's top editor. Marcus W. Brauchli, a former top editor of The Wall Street Journal, will become the executive editor of the Post on Sept. 8. At age 47, he is young enough to remain in place for many years. WaPo: When the handoff occurs Sept. 8, Brauchli will become only the third person in the paper's top job since Ben Bradlee was given the position in 1968.

Editor's Exit Dooms Golf for Women (Portfolio/Mixed Media)
This is everything you need to know about the print publishing environment circa mid-2008: It's easier to shut down a magazine with dozens of employees than to hire one new one. Conde Nast said it's ceasing publication of Golf for Women, following news that the mag's editor-in-chief, Susan Reed, was leaving to become editor-in-chief of O, The Oprah Magazine. NYP: Sources estimate the bimonthly Golf for Women was going to lose about $7 million in 2008 after an internal split of marketing services and other support units from Golf Digest earlier this year. WWD: Conde Nast chief operating officer John Bellando and executive vice president, human resources Jill Bright broke the news to the Golf for Women staff late Monday afternoon. About 30 people will be affected by the closure; those that are not placed within the company will depart by early next week. Mediaweek: The news didn't surprise insiders, who said Golf for Women had struggled to find its footing in the years since Conde Nast bought it from Meredith Corp. in 2001.

Icahn and Ballmer Look to Oust Yahoo Directors (NYP)
Billionaire financier Carl Icahn yesterday finally convinced Microsoft chief Steve Ballmer to publicly support his campaign to oust Yahoo's board. The question now is whether Yahoo's shareholders, who have watched the stock fluctuate wildly during the company's seven-month courtship of Microsoft, are willing to throw their weight behind Icahn in the hope he can sell the company at a premium. FT: Microsoft said that, with another board in place, it would be interested in discussing a deal either to assume Yahoo's search function "with large financial guarantees" for the Internet company, or to buy Yahoo outright.
