Brill has stocked the magazine with impressive talent, hiring writers and editors from such publications as the Wall Street Journal, Business Week and TIME (former chief political correspondent Michael Kramer is Brill's No. 2 editor). Washington Post media critic (and author of Spin Cycle) Howard Kurtz will be a contributor, as will former FCC chairman Reed Hundt and humorist Calvin Trillin. Brill has even hired an in-house ombudsman: former New York Times editor Bill Kovach, head of the Nieman journalism fellowships at Harvard, will critique Content's own articles...
