Idle Chatter: Year-End Blues; Newspaper Bailout?
-WWD has an early look at the year-end ad page totals for monthly magazines. Among the biggest losers: More, Real Simple, InStyle and Esquire. And that's only counting the titles that are still in business. [WWD]
-Fox and NBC stations are going to start sharing newsgathering resources as part of a new cooperation agreement. No word on whether this will curb Bill O'Reilly's denunciations of Jeff Immelt. [WSJ]
-BusinessWeek's Jon Fine has some thoughts on how the government might bail out the newspaper industry at a cost of $100 billion or so. "[W]e will require the participation of industry leaders who can navigate Washington with finesse and charm," reads his (facetious) memo. "In other words: Sam Zell, please stay home and tend to Tribune." [BW]
-Weekly magazines that put Barack Obama on their covers after the election made out well. People sold 2.2 million issues, versus an average of 1.4 million. [NYP]
-Lining up big stars for its new series hasn't helped NBC, which has already canceled Lipstick Jungle and My Own Worst Enemy, and will probably have to cancel a few more. [Portfolio]
