...original Mr. Six ads ran from 2004 to 2005. But when Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, Six Flags' largest shareholder, won his bid to take control of the company in late 2005, he ripped the campaign. His management team soon killed the ads. "Mr. Six went on sabbatical," says Angie Vieira Barocas, senior VP of marketing and entertainment at Six Flags. "People associated him with Six Flags, but he wasn't necessarily converting people's intention to visit our parks into actual visitation." (See pictures of theme parks in China...
...McGraw-Hill has confirmed that it is "exploring strategic options" for the magazine, which is another way of saying the company does not think it can make money off the magazine - ever. It may not be wrong. Less than a decade ago, Business Week ran nearly 6,000 ad pages in a year. This week, a banker valued the magazine at a dollar. "The rapid speed of the switch from print to digital, combined with the extreme severity of the economic downturn, has made it very tough for all weekly magazines," says Stephen Shepard, former editor in chief of Business...
...while ad pages are plummeting for all magazines, they're flirting with terminal velocity for business titles. The numbers are enough to make a CEO pack it all in (which Jim Spanfeller at Forbes.com just did). In the first half of this year, Business Week ran about 37% fewer ad pages than it did in the first half of last year, according to the Publishers Information Bureau. Fortune, published by Time Inc. (owner of TIME.com), sold 38% fewer pages, and Forbes was down 30% (a number possibly skewed by the inclusion of ForbesLife). But as a weekly, the McGraw-Hill...
Middle America's favorite anchor was born in St. Joseph, Missouri, and as he recalled in his memoir A Reporter's Life, he developed a taste for reporting and news analysis early. While living in Kansas City at age six, he ran to a friend's house with a newspaper story about the death of President Warren Harding. "Look carefully at that picture," he told his friend. "It's the last picture you will ever see of Warren Harding." With typical self-deprecation, the elder Cronkite wrote: "I record it here today to establish my early predisposition to editorial work...
...That's a good question, especially since the program was an open secret. On Oct. 28, 2001, the Washington Post ran an article with the title "CIA Weighs 'Targeted Killing' Missions." And in 2006, New York Times reporter James Risen wrote a book in which he revealed the program's secret code name, Box Top . Moreover, it is well known that on Nov. 3, 2002, the CIA launched a Hellfire missile from a Predator drone over Yemen, killing an al-Qaeda member involved in the attack on the U.S.S. Cole. And who knows how many "targeted killings" there have been...
