Coverage of NAB/RTNDA: TVNewser

Editor's Note: Ah, the classic "how to..." article! It's a staple of service-oriented publications everywhere—and, we'll admit, the longstanding favored format of mediabistro. But in our zeal to provide useful "how to's" for staff writers, freelancers, editors, and the like, we realize we've been neglecting the media moguls, the editors-in-chief, and the network heads. "Where is the service journalism piece for me?," we imagine [Rupert Murdoch/Jonathan Klein/Peter Olson] asking himself. "Is mediabistro not for all media professionals?"

And we think our [wholly imaginary] neglected media moguls have a point. To that end, we give you our monthly Super-Service feature series, targeted to specific people in specific situations. It's "Dear Abby" for S.I. Newhouse.

(And if you're not S.I. Newhouse, you may notice that the pieces look suspiciously like media news and analysis packaged as high-end service. But don't tell S.I.; we don't want him to feel left out.)

Today's feature is an overview of the recent Fast Company sale:
Memo to Joe Mansueto: How to Revive The Business Publication You Just Bought for ~$35 Million

Welcome to mediabistro's fourth homepage redesign. We've got all your favorite mediabistro features (the Revolving Door, "How to Pitch" articles, the job board) and a whole new look.

We've expanded our blog content with the launch of five new blogs, which can be found in the column on the right, along with our existing (and freshly redesigned) TV news and publishing blogs, TVNewser and Galleycat.

Directly below Galleycat is our new design blog, UnBeige, which will be covering graphic and product design. (The title was inspired by this quote.)

We're also proud to announce the launch of three regional gossip blogs for New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. The "fishbowl" blogs will provide an irreverent insider glimpse into three of the largest media markets in the country.

And to the far right, you'll find mediabistro's new resource blog for journalists and writers. MBToolbox will link to useful online resources and provide tips on writing and editing.

We're also in the process of revamping our feature well with a wider range of content, and this week's focus is magazine design. Today mediabistro's Greg Lindsay talks to Ed Leida, group design director for Fairchild Publications, about redesigning W, developing Fairchild's new parenting mag, Cookie, and the difference between a type guy and a type geek. This week we'll also be speaking to Fortune's Bob Newman, Travel + Leisure's Emily Crawford and the legendary Roger Black.

Thanks for reading, and we look forward to hearing from you.
