I'm much more optimistic about the future than I probably was.

I think there's huge room for a personality who can create a following, and that personality can be a person or a company.

There are newsweeklies that are dead. Some may still be walking, but they're dead.

We should want our advertising to be compelling.

If we can help an advertiser refine a message so it works for our consumers, we should be doing that, but at the same time, you never want to do it by confusing the customer about what the experience is. If we fail in that regard, we do our brand and our customers a disservice.

I tend to be more interested in the trend pieces than who got a licensing deal for sunglasses, but that's not surprising.

If our brands are going to be in print and on mobile handsets and in video and events, we have to acknowledge that the playing fields are going to be different than a print-only product or a print product with extensions to it.
