"[Newhouse's] best editors in chief all have one thing in common," wrote former staffer Paul Smalera, on the Portfolio-obsessed website Gawker.com, "which is they know how to channel and predict the predilections of their readers and turn at least a couple issues a year into can't-miss propositions.
