Category Crowding Could Spell Death for Some Business Mags Growth Demands From Publishers, Rise of Online Rivals May Cause Shakeout
NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Most of the attention to Condé Nast's Portfolio so far has wondered about its effect on the old-guard business magazines: Forbes, Fortune and BusinessWeek. In reality, Portfolio or no Portfolio, the market trends we can already observe suggest pressure for a biz-mag shakeout is building -- pressure that the scrappier players will feel far more acutely than the old behemoths.

An Open, Sunlit Space at 7 World Trade Center
The New York Times Square Feet | Spotlight May 13, 2007
WHEN Mansueto Ventures bought the magazines Inc. and Fast Company from the German publisher Gruner & Jahr two years ago, it immediately began polishing the two titles. The paper quality was improved, staff changes were made and the editorial content was sharpened, according to Mansueto, the new owner. The company also wanted its new offices in New York to project the same retooled image, by emphasizing that the magazines were no longer part of a huge global stable of mainstream publications on subjects ranging from politics to parenting to decorating.

NEW "FAST COMPANY" EDITOR SAFIAN MADE TURNING DOWN $1 BILLION TOP PRIORITY...
Mark Zuckerberg is the American Dream. The Harvard dropout moves to Silicon Valley and launches the social networking site FACEBOOK.COM, which has 19 million registered users, and, per eMarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson (ex-Advertising Age), is projected to accrue $100 million in revenues this year. That, and press accounts (The New York Times, etc.) reporting that Zuckerberg and partners had rejected a $1 billion offer for FACEBOOK.COM from Yahoo! made The Kid Who Turned Down $1 billion compelling for Fast Company, and it was on the May story board in late February when Bob Safian joined after successful Time Inc. stints as Money managing editor (1997-2004), Time executive editor (2004-2006), and Fortune executive editor (2006-2007).

"INC.'S" JOHN TEBEAU BECOMES PUBLISHER--AND BECOMES A DAD.
Parenthood, of course, took nine months to "plan," as John and wife/Bausch & Lomb pharmaceutical sales exec JoAnn Tebeau welcomed son Jack--their firstborn--on May 6. (Folklore has it that a 5/6/7 birthdate brings good luck.) Career "gestation," happened much faster, as Inc. publisher Jayson Goldberg's move last month to Architectural Digest associate publisher led to Mansueto Ventures ceo/editor-in-chief John Koten promoting Tebeau to publisher on May 8 from national sales director (since October 2005). Two reasons for him to pass out cigars, and...double congratulations!
