Rumor has it that Alison Biggar, editor of the Chronicle Magazine
, is taking the buyout option presented by the San Francisco Chronicle, along with Janet Fletcher, food editor. This news via Ghost Word.
On a lighter note, here’s Saving Newspapers, the Musical:
Gawker asks why these two major food magazines are still currently in existence…
at the same time!
“Bon Appetit and Gourmet are both Conde Nast-owned food magazines with similar reader demographics and ad rates. They’re both equally popular among Gawker readers. They’re both troubled. Why does Conde need both?”
Then they go on to point demographics, money made per ad, and other things that normally lead to a joint venture or buy out. But since no one has any money these days for that type of thing, it’s just a nice interesting article.

In People Magazine, Rachel Ray defends some of her recession proof recipes and apparently some photos that some people felt were kind of … tantalizing.
RRrrr says her whole thing is really perfect for people living in a recession:
Per People Mag:
“The magazine, the daytime show, we’ve always tried to write affordable, accessible [recipes],” Ray, 40, tells ABC’s Nightline for a profile to air Monday. “Those are key words for us, and I do mean us, a huge staff of people at the magazine who love to cook affordable, friendly food that helps families eat better for less. So I think this is really a time for all of our team to shine … You know, food is such – it’s a hug for people.”
Ahh, to be worth $18 million….

The New York Times reports that someone has come up with the half-in, half-out plan for better eating and health:
Many people struggle to improve their eating habits. The Times food writer Mark Bittman, appearing this week on WNYC radio, told listeners about an unusual strategy that has worked for him.
All day long, he eats a vegan diet. But after about 6 p.m., anything goes.
This is from his newest book, “Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating With More Than 75 Recipes:” Considering that we at TasteTV eat dark chocolate all day, then other food all night, this means we’re 100% committed to the Bittman diet plan.
We’re sooo cutting edge.
