Cowin tells min that her office was filled with "50 vases of roses" last week as gratitude from the many chefs whose friendships came from "Best New Chefs" and other partnerships during her 21 years at the helm. Cowin's down-to-earth ego exemplified in her 2014 book Mastering My Mistakes in the Kitchen is a reason for her popularity with her staff. Her send-off to chief creative officer of the F&W-partnered Chefs Club was accompanied by an effusive "she will be greatly missed" from Time Inc. chief content officer Norm Pearlstine and executive VP Evelyn Webster. “I was ready for a change,” says Cowin. “Chefs Club–with restaurants in New York’s Puck Building and in Aspen, Colo.–is growing, and I will be very busy directing the content creation.

2 Media’s Most Trusted Source Since 1947 11/23/2015 minonline.com Steve Smith's App Review TNR Relaunch Offer Subtle Social and Ad Innovation Several years after its acquisition by Facebook co-founder and less than a year after a public revolt among staff over the new direction of the publication, The New Republic demonstrates some of its newfound digital savvy in its mobile-first digi- tal relaunch. It's among the cleanest, smoothest magazine executions on mobile Web from a major magazine brand. There are a number of subtle, but important, ideas here about design, digital advertising and social distribution, even if some of them are unevenly executed. I reviewed the new site on an iPhone, where the decidedly uncluttered design bears only a persistent navigation bar with the TNR logo and a sandwich menu. Unlike many responsive sites, TNR doesn't pour too many elements into the scroll. There are only seven major sections, including podcasts. The stories rely too often on an oversized image and a bare headline to indicate their content. However, the scroll itself is thankfully short–I just wish there was a snap-back button for quicker returns to the top of the scroll. The key new element in the mix, "Minutes," underscores TNR’s new commit- ment to breaking news. These short news catch-ups and bits of commentary can often be updated later in the day and they're designed for easy sharing to Face- book, Twitter, email and even embedding in blogs. TNR is hoping to leverage its existing base of policy influencers and opinion leaders. The "Minutes" addition feels like a good idea, but some of the pieces themselves don’t feel quite as digestible as they should. The other, perhaps more important, innovation at TNR is the “Signal” element in many of its long stories. Instead of merely distributing a story to one’s social network with a headline and URL, the boxed “Signal” is meant to distribute an idea – often a provocative quote that encapsulates the spirit of the piece. I really liked the way the signal makes smarter, deeper use of the social graph to circulate con- cepts and also communicate goals of the TNR brand to be a source of ideas, policy and solutions. In my use of the site, the "Signals" were, like "Minutes," sometimes in principle than in execution. Too often this extra sharable element felt like standard pull quotes rather than valuable ideas. Still, the "Signal" format embodies this notion that editors should be thinking harder and deeper about getting beyond the headline/image/lede conventions of social distribution. Another laudable idea in this relaunch is TNR’s chaste approach to advertising. Eschewing programmatic banners and even relentless native interruptions in the scroll, it's opting for more comprehensive sponsorships that entail limited, but consistent, ad exposures. The custom ad unit is called "Canvas," and it's an oversized rich media square that occurs only once in an article scroll and is capable of playing video without bouncing the user out of the article experience. The company will also be selling section sponsorships. Good for TNR. Generally, it makes for a much cleaner reading experience. But the persistence of limited sponsorship, I feel, enhances the impact and memorability of the ads. The ad unit, for mattress retailer Casper, is also tied to a content marketing piece (about sleep) that's inserted into the APP REPORT CARD article scroll, but clearly marked and explained as a sponsored article. I can’t speak to how effective TNR’s approach is for monetization, but the mobile user experience benefits from it. User Experience B+ Now if they could just remove the Taboolah networked native crap that still lurks at the bottom Overall Design A- of articles, TNR could truly live up to its own good intentions. For all of its good efforts here, there are places where TNR’s mobile experience could improve. Social Integration B Since it relies on a loyal readership, and champions long form editorial, a login with cross-screen Mobile Utility B saving seems obvious. Despite its nod to better social distribution, persistent share buttons would help, as would a most popular list, which is present on desktop but is oddly absent on mobile. Monetization A- There's also no user commenting on pieces, which I can only guess is a deliberate editorial choice on TNR’s part, but still seems curious for a brand that claims an audience of thoughtful influencers. Final Grade B+

Indeed, e-com- merce had always been central to the Playboy digital plan, going back to its pioneering days under Christie Hefner, one of the earliest evangelists of the Internet for magazines. No, this time around, chief brand officer Scott Killian tells min, there is an even larger vision. “We are setting the table with consumer products in North America.". Working in tandem with the recently announced reimagining of the magazine in 2016, PlayboyShop.com “is an opportunity to redefine and reimagine what the brand looks like in the U.S.,” he adds. Killian claims that the iconic bunny is responsible for over $1.5 billion in licensed sales worldwide, but the U.S. presence had been light in recent years. The new store will not only better leverage the magazine, email and social channels with this relaunch domestically, but it'll be especially contoured to the consumption patterns of its Millennial targets. “As an audience, they place a high value on authenticity, where things come from and the legacy of a brand.” Look for crafted cardigans and custom cigar boxes. In recent research, Playboy found “a really strong response for the legacy aspects of our brand,” Killian says. And so the idea is for products that can be wrapped in larger stories tied to the brand’s new lifestyle focus concept, as well as its history. An upcoming Playboy edition of a vertical turntable, for instance, is an opportunity to invoke the company’s jazz festival past and be a “bigger narrative around the brand.” The goal in the magazine and digital promotion of PlayboyShop.com is not to look like advertising but to tell stories around products. It's because of this connection to brand storytelling that the e-commerce operation is all in-house. Playboy owns the inven- tory and the process. “In order to get maximum success for this thing we felt leveraging a partner was not the right thing,” he says. “If someone is going to maximize the channels, you need to be in this building.” Killian came to Playboy from the sports merchandise superpower Fanatics, and will be bringing some of that sense of scale to PlayboyShop.com, which expects to escalate its inventory to up to 10,000 SKUs.

27184 min Most Intriguing Full Pg Ad.indd 1 11/19/15 6:29 PM THE WRAP Popular Mechanics' Timely 'American F-16s Fighting ISIS'... Hours before the November 13 attacks in Paris, the December/January Popular Mechanics was released. The Elliott Woods-written cover story is on the selected Iraqi Air Force pilots' three- plus years of training in the United States to fly the Lockheed Martin F-16. It led to their first missions against ISIS strongholds in Iraq in September. Martin reports on how the pilots' differ- ent ethnicities–Kurds, Shiite and Sunni Muslims–were no hindrance to them getting along. The group's leader was Brigadier General Rasid Mohammed Sideeq Hasan, whose June 24 death in an F-16 crash near Douglas, Ariz., didn't stop the others from training. In his letter to readers, editor-in-chief Ryan D'Agostino writes that "maybe the men...will help solve the problem of the Islamic State terrorists. At the very least, they will try their hardest, and that is no small thing." ...But the French Jets were Home-Grown The French Air Force's retaliatory raids on ISIS strongholds in Syria were done with Rafale and Mirage aircraft as the country has long been a major manufacturer. But the pilots received U.S.-backed "coalition support." Nancy Novogrod: Terrorism Will Never Stop Travel In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, the former Travel + Leisure editor-in-chief wrote to readers that "travel is about the erasing of boundaries. When Le Monde headlined, 'Nous Sommes Tous Américaines,' as people of all national express sympathy and sorrow, the world reaches out and boundaries disappear." The attacks in Paris made the new headline "Nous Sommes Tous Français" with the Tricolore omnipresent, Novogrod acknowledges that "life has changed in the most disturbing ways since 9/11, which was, of course, foreshadowed by other events we didn't recognize at the time as being part of a fearsome trend." Nevertheless, she remains the travel optimist, as shown by her revealing to min that serving as chief content officer of "a startup in travel" is among her current projects. Self EIC Joyce Chang and Her Oncologist Mom Host 'Spa Day' The daughter and mother have complementary careers; Dr. Helena Chang as director of the Rev- lon UCLA Breast Center in Los Angeles was a motivator for Joyce to leave Cosmopolitan for Self last year. "Women & Cancer" has been a Self October perennial since 1993, and on November 7, the Changs went a step further by hosting the Self-sponsored iS Cancer Care Spa Day at the Breast Center. The 50 patients attending were treated to relaxing massages and facials along with advice on fitness from Evolution 20 creator Christine Bullock (pictured) and on skin care from iS Clinical global creative director Sandra Adams. "Making women feel like themselves is what Spa Day and Self are all about," says Joyce. "The opportunity to work with my mom–my role model–was very exciting, and the event went very well." More tempering was the November 18 Condé Nast restructuring that led to a merger of Self's sales and marketing staff with Glamour. Publisher and chief revenue officer Mary Murcko was a casualty, and Chang is now teaming with Glamour publisher and CRO Connie Anne Phillips.
