| The Great New York Times War Against Executive Compensation
Sunday was a banner day for executive compensation. Make that a banner headline day. The business section of the Sunday New York Times was largely devoted to articles decryingreporting on executive compensation, including reporter Eric Dash's long, splashy article on executive exit compensation. Now they've assembled an online version of the special section with over two dozen pieces on executive comp. So what's inspired all this? Well, for that we turn to a Wall Street Journal editorial from a few weeks ago which explained that the SEC's new disclosure rules for compensation have brought us far more information, inviting exactly this kind of media attention. Unfortunately, the rules produce information which is somewhat misleading, a fact that the New York Times notes, although it doesn't let this get in the way of reporting the scandal that executives get paid a lot! The most important thing the Journal editorial notes is that the new disclosure rules are particularly bad at revealing whether executive's are getting paid for performance.
Old Media (Dons), New Medium
When I started to have a midlife crisis, I gave up on the old medium, a.k.a print, and embraced the new medium, a.k.a. blogging. I gave up my cushy job at Business 2.0 and traded it in for the 24-7 grind of running a blogging/publishing start-up. Apparently, I am not the only one with this problem. BusinessWeek has an article about old media Dons who are now embracing the new online (video) medium. Of course they are using their old media connections to boost the chances of their new ventures. Here is a rundown of who is doing what now. Michael Eisner, formerly, chairman of Walt Disney & Company is now promoting Vuguru, the company behind the Prom Queen, webisodes series. The series has a deal with MySpace. (NTV says) Steven Bocho, the man behind the now painfully long in the tooth NYPD Blue is now working with Metacafe on a new series called Cafe Confidential.
