Morning Wire: Another media departure, Another media blitz and more

Published: Friday, November 17, 2006

News Corp keeps it's interactive unit in the Levinsohn bloodline
yet another late late announcement yesterday evening about yet another big media departure of some sorts, this one from the News Corp camp. The head of the company's Fox Interactive unit has left the building. But not to worry he will be replaced by his cousin. Hey keeping it in the family is the safe way to go we guess. Ross Levinsohn, whose deal-spotting savvy led him to convince News Corp. Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch to buy popular Internet social network MySpace and games Web network IGN Entertainment, will leave to pursue other ventures, he said in a statement.

O.J Simpson is about to milk the media, and they will let him
It looks like an OJ media blitz is on the horizon with all the controversy and talk surrounding the disgraced former NFL star's new book titled "If I Did It". The interviews are rolling out and the tabloid show coverage is enough to make the Juice a tabloid darling. Publisher Judith Regan will sure get her share of media coverage and death threats as well. So we would advise her to at least look into hiring armed bodyguards until this blows over, and it will.

Dow Jones better get it together
new Dow Jones chief Rich Zannino and his management team may need to bring in some coffee bagels, muffins and other breakfast items as they are still locked in dragged out talks with union officials. Besides a new dress-code policy, union demands include protections for the dismissal of senior employees, wage increases of 8 percent, a promise to do away with outsourcing, an extra week of vacation and additional personal days.
