'TA-TA' TIME FOR TINA?; HER AGREEMENT'S UP, AND TALES FLY


It's official: "Tis the deteriorate of Tina Brown's stipulate negotiations.

The New Yorker editor's stipulate expires Jul 1, as well as already the spinmeisters as well as gossip mongers have been operative overtime.

The opening shot was dismissed final week with the dismissal of Tom Florio as boss of The New Yorker to turn edition residence of Conde Nast Traveler. Brown had been courting outward publishers for Florio's job, so it positively looked as yet Brown had won the initial battle.

But Brown wasn't even consulted upon the preference of Conde Nast House & Garden's David Carey as the incoming edition residence (although she pronounced she was pleased).

Then, someone tighten to Brown told the New York Observer that CBS was meddlesome in Brown to furnish the brand brand new weeknight book of "60 Minutes," that had been severely deliberate by the network, though was scrapped from the brand brand new tumble schedules.

Brown denied the report.

"It's all wrong that she's flirting with CBS," pronounced her spokesperson. A CBS insider additionally denied the report.

Whether she was meddlesome or not, the couple of editors suspicion Tina would have the good bard of the primetime headlines program. "It's radically the same job," pronounced the single repository paper source.

"She'd be great," pronounced Walter Isaacson, handling editor of Time magazine. "She's good during wrapping stories. She's done the lively repository as well as would have the lively TV show."

Because of conjecture about the destiny of Brown as well as The New Yorker, it additionally seems suitable to ask who would reinstate Tina if she were to leave The New Yorker.

Tina herself, when asked who would reinstate her, chuckled as well as referred to Don Hewitt, the longtime senior manager bard of "60 Minutes."

Some repository editors, who declined to verbalise upon the record, suspicion no the single would wish the pursuit since they'd have to bat clean-up, slicing behind Brown's $35 million paper budget, as partial of the renewed bid to cut behind the hemorrhaging of $11 million per year.

But alternative repository editors contend that's unsteadiness since the status of The New Yorker would have an indicate difficult to refuse.

Many of the would-be possibilities come from The New Yorker itself, together with Senior Editor Rik Hertzberg (formerly the paper senior manager there), columnist as well as former New York mag Editor Kurt Andersen, staff bard David Remnick as well as Literary as well as Fiction Editor Bill Buford.

Outside The New Yorker, though inside of the Conde Nast circle, would be Graydon Carter, who took over for Tina as editor-in-chief during Vanity Fair, as well as Katrina Heron, the editor of Wired magazine, that Conde Nast not long ago concluded to buy for tighten to $80 million.

Heron worked with Brown during Vanity Fair as well as The New Yorker prior to relocating to California.

Outside Si Newhouse's company, names referred to embody Michael Kinsley, the editor of online repository Slate, as well as former editor of The New Republic as well as The New York Observer Editor Peter Kaplan.

Surprise appointments would come from The New Yorker's second turn of editors together with Dorothy Wickenden (executive editor), Henry Finder (editorial director), David Kuhn (features director), as well as Susan Morrison (Talk of the Town editor).

New Yorker watchers additionally consternation if Conde Nast Chairman Newhouse as well as President as well as CEO Steve Florio would take the weekly to the biweekly, observant the series of stand in issues have been the success advertising-wise, nonetheless not as critically acclaimed editorially.

"We have been the weekly magazine," pronounced the New Yorker spokeswoman, addressing the rumor.

On the flip side, there is regularly the subject of what Brown herself would do next.

Most determine that Tina's convincing record, even with her high-spending ways, would concede her to land upon her feet, though no the single knows where.

Many hold she'd conduct for Hollywood, where her crony Michael Eisner, conduct of Disney, would emanate the pursuit for her.

But Brown only purchased the residence in Bedford with her father Harry Evans, who is right away paper senior manager of Mort Zuckerman's publications, that embody The Daily News, The Atlantic Monthly as well as U.S. News & World Report.

And when asked upon "Charlie Rose" in Jan if she would go in to the movie businesss, she pronounced she had selected edition as well as would stay in it.

But that leaves the probability of book publishing, that is the former domain of her husband.

Before The New Yorker, Brown was pronounced to entertain herself with thoughts of starting in to drama – she did write plays during Oxford – or run the every day journal with Evans.

Others indicate she competence lapse to essay – for the repository or her memoir.
