Advertising 1, Journalism 0 'Us' and Conde Nast: The Pros and Cons

Jun 30 2008 8:48AM EDT

-Former tabloid czarina Bonnie Fuller is starting a new company to create "femme-friendly" digital products. (Don't snigger; I have it on good authority that she now sends her own emails.) [NYT]

-Zenith Optimedia has revised downward its forecast for U.S. ad spending growth, from 3.7 percent to 3.4 percent. [WSJ]

-This year's Nielsen ratings contain an "ominous trend" for Fox News, which is merely holding steady while CNN and MSNBC make big strides. [NYT]

-Everybody is sick of the Keith Olbermann-Bill O'Reilly spat. Get a room, guys. [Variety]

-Inevitably, E! has made a True Hollywood Story about Heath Ledger. Hey, it's been almost six months, right? [NYP]

-Gail Collins to Maureen Dowd: I got your back, girlfriend! [NYT]
