-Reader's Digest Association may be so cash-strapped that it's furloughing employees, but it's still forging ahead with new magazine launches. First was Purpose Driven, the Rick Warren magazine, and now comes Fresh Home, a home-improvement title. And there's another one in the wings as well, a health title called Best You. [Folio]

-Newsweek staffers are said to be peeved that they had to learn about the radical plan to chop the magazine's circulation and alter its format from The New York Times. [NYP]

-New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr.'s son has joined the paper as a Metro section reporter. "Arthur Gregg Sulzberger will, arguably, be the most closely scrutinized reporter in the paper's history. Every byline, every word, every interview, every detail and every correction will be pored over by bloggers, Times readers and Times antagonists, and, no doubt, by his coworkers." Try to have fun, though. [NYO]

-If you only see one movie for the rest of your life, make it Pride and Predator, an upcoming Jane Austen adaptation about dreadlock-wearing, sport-hunting aliens on the loose in Victorian England. [Variety]
