The fallout continues following last week’s Magazine Publishers of America event at which Jon Stewart interviewed (if that’s the word) Vanity Fair’s Graydon Carter, Cosmopolitan’s Kate White, Time’s Jim Kelly and Men’s Health’s Dave Zinczenko. A Page Six item over the weekend quoted one “witness” as saying, “They all couldn’t get off the stage fast enough—and I overheard Graydon Carter saying, ‘Never again!’ ” Now comes this from WWD.com: “Many industry voices were still grumbling that MPA had shelled out a quarter of a million dollars ($150,000 for Stewart, another $100,000 for the event, according to a source) only to have the Daily Show host question the relevance of print in front of a roomful of advertisers.”
