As predicted by The OutCast Agency’s TJ Snyder, the Vanity Fair annual “New Establishment” list has been revealed and there are techies aplenty at the top. Facebook‘s Mark Zuckerberg is number one for a second year, and also on the list are Sergey Brin and Larry Page from Google (#2); Apple’s Tim Cook and Jonathan Ive (#4); and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey (#5). (Facebook, Amazon, Andreeson Horowitz, Netflix, and Zynga are OutCast clients.)

New York has signed on as an advertising partner for teen fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson’s new site Rookie, launching on Monday. There was much talk about a partnership between Gevinson and former Sassy editor Jane Pratt. Those plans didn’t become reality, but word is that Pratt will be involved in some way, shape, or form with Rookie. Gevinson is 15 years old and EIC.

The Root talks with Rev. Al Sharpton about his new job with MSNBC. He made his official, though troubled, debut this week.

Revolving Door: Mark Halperin Steps in It, and More Media Changes

Tonya Garcia — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 17:56:16 +0000

Mark Halperin, senior political analyst and editor-at-large for TIME, has been given a time-out of indefinite length after he said President Obama was “kind of a dick” during his presser yesterday.

The comment was made on Morning Joe, and Halperin had actually tried to warn the Morning Joe staff that he was going to say something off-color, asking if the show had prepared its “7-second delay button.” He apologized within minutes (17 to be exact) of making the comment, but the damage was already done.

TVNewser has statements from both MSNBC and Halperin. We have no words for this one.

After the jump, some of this week’s media highlights from mediabistro’s Revolving Door Newsletter.
