The New York Times Company has hired "internet professional" Joseph Seibert, formerly an executive at Marc Ecko. Mr. Seibert will become the company's new chief information officer. He's been its COO since 2006 so he presumably had a role in the Air Force One ad campaign that ad guru Andrew Essex described this way: "As a result of this, Mark Ecko no longer advertises in GQ and Details, my former publications. ... If advertisers can turn themselves into news and content, what is the role of a magazine?" (And what does that mean for the future of the Times' content?)

The first of a new series aimed at bringing together current artists with their heroes, Inspiration Information features soul throwback Amp Fiddler collaborating with top reggae rhythm masters Sly & Robbie. It's an entertaining enough project, albeit slightly saggy round the edges. What comes through most strongly are Fiddler's 1970s soul and funk roots: "Crazy Day" begins with Amp humming like Al Green over an itchy organ groove, before settling into a typically infectious Sly & Robbie reggaematic rhythm; and "Blackhouse", a re-imagining of the George Clinton song "Paint the White House Black", features simple synth, bass and puttering drum machine reminiscent of Sly Stone's "Family Affair", marshalled against war and toxic politics. Elsewhere, "Drama Inside", about not showing inner turmoil, has the amorphous, intimate tone of D'Angelo, Amp's vocal oozing imperceptibly from his gentle cooing, while his most successful musical rapprochements with Sly & Robbie's reggae stylings come in the laid-back, rock-ste ...

Donald Newhouse wanted 200 Star-Ledger staffers to raise their hand and request a buyout. If a few more asked, he said he would accept up to 230. Today, the New York Post's Keith Kelly reports that far more Ledger staffers actually want the buyout. A whopping 409 employees have requested a buyout, leaving Mr. Newhouse, publisher George Arwady and editor in chief Jim Willse in the position of buying out 230 people, and turning away 179. The paper employs a non-union workforce of 756 people, meaning more than half of its employees have requested to jump ship.
