Times to Produce Movie Magazine (NYP)
The New York Times is launching an in-cinema pocket-sized title called OnMovies, featuring editorial content from the paper's culture desk. It will be published 18 times a year.

Editors Question Times' Coverage of Miller's Story (E&P)
In the 11 days since Judith Miller left jail, her paper has had very little to say about her role in the Plame/CIA leak case, and has been regularly scooped by other papers on the latest twists in her involvement. Huffington Post: Keller's dismissal of bloggers pales in comparison to his "what planet are you living on?" defense of the Times, writes Arianna Huffington. Page Six: Miller reportedly booking $50K speaking engagements through next year. PressThink: Jay Rosen wonders if Keller has told Times journos not to write about Miller.

Banville's Sea Wins Booker (USAT)
Irish author John Banville's novel, which follows a man who returns to an Irish seaside town to confront traumatic memories, beat favorites to win Britain's top literary honor, the Man Booker Prize.


Coach, SI Settle Lawsuit (AP via ABC News)
Texas-El Paso football coach Mike Price felt vindicated after a settlement was reached with Time Inc. over a Sports Illustrated article recounting a night of drinking at a topless bar in Florida.

Rodale Set for Official Launch of Women's Health (Mediaweek)
The magazine tested five issues on newsstands over the past year and sold over 200,000 of each edition, for a sell-through percentage of over 40 percent. The title also boasts 160,000 subscribers.

Nobel Prize for Literature Due Thursday (Reuters)
As the Academy gave the date, Academician Knut Ahnlund gave notice he was quitting in disgust over the 2004 laureate, Austrian author Elfriede Jelinek, whose writing he called "whinging, unenjoyable, violent pornography."

Behind the Scenes at Commander in Chief (NYT)
ABC's surprising decision last week to replace the creator of its most promising new series with producer Steven Bochco was driven by increasing concerns about production delays on the series.

Random House Strikes Deal on Writers' Lectures (WSJ)
Random House Publishing Group struck an agreement with lecture agency American Program Bureau Inc. to help its writers get paid speaking engagements while lifting their public profiles.

Cooking Light Annointed 'Most Notable' Mag Launch (MIN)
The title, launched in 1987, went from a national circulation of 450,000 at its inception to about 1.7 million in 2005. Audience figures were at a whopping 11.4 million in the first quarter of 2005, a full 10.8 percent jump from its highest circulation figures from 2004.

Will Google Kill News Media? (PC World)
Two young journos have created a short movie that pegs Google's growth as the death knell for the slumbering Fourth Estate, which then loses its gatekeeping and publishing role to the Internet.

Icahn Turning Up Heat at TW (NYT)
The investor has increased his stake in Time Warner and is challenging the track record of the company's senior managers and directors, dating back to its merger with America Online.

Media Guy's Use of Oxygen Questioned (Ad Age)
Simon Dumenco: Somehow two months have slipped by since the last installment of "Dear Media Guy," so without further ado, Dear Media Guy II: The Drunk, Self-Loathing Traitor Contemplates Mortality.

Fortune's Jubilee Issue Rich (WaPo)
Peter Carlson: The folks who put out Fortune have had their ups and downs over the past 75 years. But their anniversary issue reminds us they publish the best business magazine in America.

We'll Only Publish You if You Cite Our Journal (Chronicle of Higher Ed)
Impact-factor fever is spreading, threatening to skew the course of scientific research, say critics, leading to a creeping sense of cynicism about the business of science publications.

New Condé Biz Ed Can't Get a Desk (WWD)
Joanne Lipman begins her new job today as editor in chief of the forthcoming title, but with the company does not yet have enough space freed up to assign offices to Lipman or David Carey, the new business group's president.

No Love for CBC (CSM)
Rondi Adamson: There is something sweetly revealing about the fact that the NHL is in large part responsible for bringing an end to the nearly two-month strike of Canada's public broadcaster.

Disney Expecting New Mothers' Mag (DM News)
Oversized like Real Simple magazine and with similar white space and a trapezoid logo, Wondertime is for women with children up to age 6 who are keen to nurture their offspring's love of learning.

Nepal King Clips Wings of Press (Indian Express)
The country's King Gyanendra has spelled out massive checks on the media, including measures against journalists that range from the annulment of accreditation to arrest and prosecution.

—David S. Hirschman


IN YESTERDAY'S MB BLOGS:

You Know It's a Good Day in Hurricane Coverage When... [TVNewser]
A tipster sends along this message, which is hanging on the wall in the NBC News' New Orleans bureau: YOU KNOW IT'S A GOOD DAY IN HURRICANE COVERAGE WHEN: There is no rubber footwear involved in the day's shoot...

Don't Hold Your Breath [FishbowlDC]
Word from the New York Times spokesman this afternoon is that it is still unclear when a "So this is what really went down" piece from Judith Miller can be expected. It probably should have happened over a week ago, or this past weekend at the very latest. We may all grow old and gray waiting for the Gray Lady to publish this piece.

The Mathemagical World of New York Magazine [FishbowlNY]
There's no two ways about it: we're geeks at Fishbowl, unabashed in our devotion to math club and occasionally pretending to understand the what the hell Google is doing. It's a quality we prize in our Fishterns, and this week our own Maureen Miller puts her science education to good use, dorking out over the trend toward math-infused features in New York Magazine.

Michael Eisner infiltrates media, hosts 'Charlie Rose' [FishbowlLA]
I assume you all saw 'Charlie Rose' on Friday night... So I'm sure you were as surprised as I was to see that 'Charlie Rose' was not hosted by Charlie Rose, but instead by Michael Eisner-- which is kind of a vervy way of ending his media silence over these past few weeks while he's been busy stepping down from the Disney CEO-ship and board of directors.

John Banville Wins Man Booker [GalleyCat]
The results are in, and the 2005 Man Booker goes to John Banville and The Sea. Mark Sarvas will be thrilled, but apparently the judges' tastes don't synch up with those of ordinary literati: Banville ran a distant fifth (in a field of six) in the "People's Prize" poll, which went to Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go.

Layout Fakeout [UnBeige]
The first time we ever wrote an article that was going to be printed we tried to figure out from our seventh-grade Latin what the lorem ipsum dolor sit amet... meant.
