With David Eun Departure, "The AOL Way" Makes Way for the Arianna Way

in News on February 25, 2011 at 6:00 am PT

Despite all the polite throat-clearing in the various internal memos coming out of AOL today, with a rejiggering of its content management–including the ousting of Media and Studios President David Eun–what really happened was what sources said will be an about-face from a recent strategy of how to run its media business. That is likely to begin with the hip-checking of “The AOL Way,” which many sources tell BoomTown was Eun’s brainchild, once the $315 million acquisition of the Huffington Post is completed.

Meet Maureen Dowd’s Favorite Writer: Talking Points Memo’s Josh Marshall

in Media on May 18, 2009 at 7:05 am PT

Many of you are just hearing Josh Marshall’s name for the first time, following the New York Times’s admission that columnist Maureen Dowd “failed to attribute” some of her column to him.
