In my post the other day, I discussed how the news pages and the editorial pages don’t coordinate. A nice example of that two left feet is in today’s paper. On page 1 is a story about the collapse of fisheries because of overfishing.
The bottom editorial, meanwhile, has a different view.
Its title: Eat Fish.
Friends in high places: A good friend of mine just got a big-time journalism job. Andy Serwer is the new managing editor of Fortune magazine. He’s smart, well-connected and occasionally irreverent, like the magazine itself. Of the three biz magazines, Fortune, Forbes and BusinessWeek, it’s the best-written.
One of Andy’s last big cover stories for the mag was about Krispy Kreme and its plan for world waistline domination. A great read and an inside look at a company’s culture and mythology. Of course, we also know the story since then. Andy was classy enough to fess to his overexuberance after things fell apart. That honesty bodes well for him in his new position.
