Under his editorship, New York has repeatedly been recognized for excellence, notably winning Magazine of the Year inand General Excellence both in print and online in He brought to the Times a magazine sensibility. A magazine person at a newspaper, an openly gay person in a repressed atmosphere, a mild man among bullies and screamers," described media writer Michael Wolff in a profile of Moss in New York magazine. Moss smartly and subtly remade the title, from its photography to front of the book, all the while navigating the internal culture of the Times. Under his watch, it became a showcase for thoughtful, long-form journalism. Like few other magazines, it thrives a few steps to the side of celeb-saturated culture and a few steps beyond the typical political polarities. Inthe writer Michael Finkel was discovered to have created composite characters for a story he had written on the African slave trade New York Stories: Landmark Writing from Four Decades of New York Magazine, a small scandal that was quickly eclipsed at The New York Times by the much larger one involving Jayson Blair. After the September 11 attacksMoss and the Times Magazine created an issue of the magazine called "Remains of the Day" [10] that was published online in its entirety that Friday, the first time the magazine published in digital form before print. Kerrey disputed the characterization. Previous jobs also included six years in various editorial capacities at Esquire magazine. Northwestern journalism professor David Abrahmson credits Moss's work at Esquire in assigning a series of pieces on the business of entertainment with "having a serious effect on what we all regard as the normal content of the mainstream media today, with its unremitting emphasis on not only celebrity, but also the economics of the celebrity- driven industries. Moss first came to media attention as the founder of 7 Days, a weekly news magazine covering New York City arts and culture. Founded init went out of business during the publishing-business recession ofthe week before it won a National Magazine Award for General Excellence. According to Wolff New York Stories: Landmark Writing from Four Decades of New York Magazine his New York magazine profile: "It is hard to overstate what kind of magazine-world hero Moss became with 7 Days and its particular pop-culture idiom, and what kind of success failure can be. In his first year at New YorkMoss completed an extensive renovation of the weekly magazine emphasizing an enhanced commitment to covering cultural happenings in the city and beyond in "The Culture Pages" and introducing the "Strategist" section, a fun and indispensable urban sourcebook. At the time, Moss told Women's Wear Daily"A lot of what we're doing with all of this renovation is actually restoration. Going back to the vault in various places during various eras of the magazine and trying to Moss is widely credited with restoring the luster the magazine enjoyed during its early years under legendary founder New York Stories: Landmark Writing from Four Decades of New York Magazine Felker. In Moss oversaw a year-long relaunch of the magazine's flagship website, nymag. Wasserstein gets credit for selecting Adam Moss, the former editor of The New York Times Magazinewho has demonstrated significant skills in putting the magazine and its Web site in the middle of the Manhattan conversation, but Mr. Wasserstein gets even more credit for staying out of the way and allowing Mr. Moss and his colleagues to do their jobs. Moss, with his deft hand for provocative covers and smart assignments, is one of the best editors working in a hybrid age. During his tenure New York won 40 National Magazine Awards more than any other publication over this time periodincluding Magazine of the Year, six for General Excellence in print and six for General Excellence online or website, as well as awards for Video, Profile Writing, Essays, Personal Service, seven for the Strategist section and two for the Culture Pages section, four for the magazine's design, and two each for Single- Topic Issue, Leisure Interests, and online fashion coverage.

  • Introduction
    Adam Moss Introduction grew up during the golden age of magazines. It was the late Isixties. I was eleven. My parents were charter subscribers to New York magazine, and I remember flipping through one of the early issues, which I had picked up out of boredom, and find- ing myself unexpectedly excited. The magazine was sardonic, a little bratty, and very smart, and I, an ordinary misfit with out- sized curiosity, didn’t take long to realize it was much more enter- taining than television (which had been occupying all of my downtime; for a budding adolescent with nothing but downtime, that was a lot of television). The writing inNew York was showy and funny. It had what I later understood magazine people called “voice”— also swagger and, crucially, confidence. And because that was my first experience with magazines, those were proper- ties I associated with the form. The writers— Tom Wolfe, Gloria Steinem, Jimmy Breslin— were in many ways big names, almost as big as their subjects: Richard Nixon, Leonard Bernstein, and Joe Namath, to name a few. I eagerly awaited each new piece of cultural assassination (that’s what this kind of magazine did at the time), and when a new issue arrived, I would cackle at the sarcastic headlines on the cover, feel connected to the thrilling counterculture that was going on outside my personal purview, and grow, issue by issue, more sophisticated. xii Introduction But it wasn’t just New York. My parents were friends with an ad guy who used to get magazines for free, and they were piled high in his den: Rolling Stone, Ramparts, Harper’s, and Esquire.

  • Examining the Magazine Industry Standard
    POINT OF VIEW: EXAMINING THE MAGAZINE INDUSTRY STANDARD A Thesis presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by CRISTINA DAGLAS John Fennell, Thesis Supervisor MAY 2009 © Copyright by Cristina Daglas 2009 All Rights Reserved The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the thesis entitled POINT OF VIEW : EXAMINING THE MAGAZINE INDUSTRY STANDARD presented by Cristina Daglas, a candidate for the degree of master of arts, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor John Fennell Professor Jennifer Rowe Professor Amanda Hinnant Professor Maureen Stanton ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am immensely grateful to my thesis chair, John Fennell, who believed in both the necessity for and the feasibility of this research. When many doubted the ability to interview prominent magazine professionals, John provided support and guidance while always keeping setbacks and successes in perspective. John has been a mentor from first semester of graduate school when I enrolled in his writing course, and I am so pleased that I could pursue a topic I am incredibly passionate about with his guidance. However, this research would naturally not be what it is without the rest of my fabulous committee. Jennifer Rowe, my other mentor, adviser and friend, was an invaluable resource, as she provided big-picture edits, line edits and, most importantly, support. Amanda Hinnant provided advice in the earliest days of thesis conception as well as the scholarly perspective necessary in any academic work. Maureen Stanton was also a wonderful resource, imparting an outside, nonfiction mindset that added another dimension to this journalistic thesis.

  • Acknowledgments
    Acknowledgments his edition of Best American Magazine Writing collects Tarticles honored by the American Society of Magazine Editors at the presentation of the National Magazine Awards in March 2019. The Best American Magazine Writing series began in 2000 and has been published by Columbia Uni- versity Press since 2005, but the history of the National Maga- zine Awards dates to the early 1960s, when ASME and Colum- bia University founded the program as a counterpart to the Pulitzer Prize. More than half a century later ASME continues to sponsor the awards in association with the Columbia School of Journalism. The first National Magazine Award— there was only one award presented in the first four years of the program— was presented to Look in 1966 for “its skillful editing, imagination and editorial integrity, all of which were reflected particularly in its treatment of the racial issue during 1965.” Look at the time was one of the largest general interest magazines in the United States, with a cir- culation of more than 7 million, but from the beginning ASME strove to honor a broad range of publications. The same yearLook won the first National Magazine Award, three magazines—Ebony , Grade Teacher, and Scientific American— were presented Certifi- cates of Special Recognition, and nine received commendations, including the New Yorker for “its flair for dramatic innovation xx Acknowledgments as demonstrated by its publication of Truman Capote’s ‘In Cold Blood,’ ” Time for “its well researched, expertly written and bal- anced series of ‘TIME Essays,’ ” and Vogue for “its effective use of color in editorial pages.” In 2019, the New Yorker, Time, and Vogue were again among the National Magazine Awards honorees, but the categories in which they were finalists go far toward explaining the changes that have overtaken both the awards program and the very nature of magazine journalism in recent years.

  • Steve Smith's Eye on Innovation: Oscars, Malaysia and Tweaking Facebook Bring Traffic Back in March
    May 5, 2014 Media Industry Newsletter Vol. 67 No. 18 New York, N.Y. www.minonline.com Steve Smith's Eye on Innovation: OSCARS, MALAYSIA AND TWEAKING FACEBOOK BRING TRAFFIC BACK IN MARCH. The expected bounce-back from the shorter February traffic month had even more bounce than usual for some magazine sites in our monthly digital boxscores. Double-digit in- creases were enjoyed by a number of sites. Some of it was clearly seasonal as travel planning and the tail end of an extended awards season. The Oscars, which came in early March this year, was very good to the relevant celebrity and fashion titles, especially EW.com (56.36% page views, +11.94% unique visitors) and VanityFair.com (+52.92% PVs, 4.05% UVs), which have special direct ties to the show. EW and People editorial director Jess Cagle co-hosted the pre-show for ABC and VF hosted the can't miss post-show party that produced gushers of photos and videos for the site. (boxscores are on pages 8 and 9; text continues on page 7) THE NATIONAL MAGAZINE AWARDS HAD THE FAMILIAR AND THE NEW. The May 1 ceremony at New York's Marriott Marquis had The New Yorker editor David Remnick accepting Ellies four times, New York magazine counterpart Adam Moss accept- ing three and lame-duck National Geographic editor-in-chief Chris Johns winning two as he moves to corporate chief content officer with Susan Goldberg succeeding. Rem- nick's joy, he once told min, was less for him and more for his staff and writers.

  • Preserving America's Thought Leader Magazines
    Preserving America’s Thought Leader Magazines March 2020 Author Heidi Legg The views expressed in Shorenstein Center Discussion Papers are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of Harvard Kennedy School or of Harvard University. Discussion Papers have not undergone formal review and approval. Such papers are included in this series to elicit feedback and to encourage debate on important issues and challenges in media, politics and public policy. Copyright belongs to the author(s). Papers may be downloaded for personal use only. The beloved Out of Town Newsstand that has long been part of Harvard Square’s heritage is going out of business. The display of magazine titles from around the world is giving way first to a six-month popup and then to a tourist information bureau, yet another reminder of the fading magazine industry. But new business models are emerging that, if not proven, are at least promising and important to study. This paper explores two questions: How does brand affinity affect revenue models? What leads the digital reader to subscribe to a thought leader magazine? In exploring these questions, the paper starts with a brief history of the thought leader magazine with an emphasis on how they built trust, which is key to attracting loyal readers. The discussion then turns to brand affinity, as it relates to trust and affects revenue streams. Finally, the paper examines how six leading thought leader magazines – New York Magazine, Mother Jones, Wired, The Information, The Atlantic, and Rolling Stone – are all responding to changing public demand and delivery.

Weaver ABSTRACT Theatre criticism has evolved with the advancement of technology and the decline of print journalism. As consumers are given increasing agency by which they can filter the news and reporting they read and occasionally replace it with their own, the idea that a sole voice on a certain topic brandishes more dominance over it than the masses of people involved in its creation and sustainment becomes progressively absurd.
