We keep an eye out for the most interesting stories about Labby subjects: digital media, startups, the web, journalism, strategy, and more. Here’s some of what we’ve seen lately.
“Financial backing for Air Mail came from a private investment firm, and Carter has evidently found ways to spend it. He has 15 full-time staffers, and a masthead of 31 that includes co-editor Alessandra Stanley (late of the New York Times), cartoon editor Bob Mankoff (late of the New Yorker) and several former Vanity Fair staffers (late of Vanity Fair).
It would be foolish to bet against Graydon Carter’s Rolodex and his 31 experienced team members. Air Mail may find an audience. But in the meantime, it’s a suggestion that whether or not the era of the celebrity editor is permanently past, this particular celebrity editor has only one editorial mode.” —
