Hearst Sees a Future in the Tablet While Patch Struggles in New Rochelle, Plus Other News of the Day

– Fresh off the announcement that Women’s Wear Daily will bring on New York Observer reporter John Koblin to cover media, Fairchild editorial director Peter Kaplan spoke with the Village Voice about the future of WWD. It sounds like they want to walk a fine line, heading into the future. “I think we have two readerships here: one of them is a deep industry, deep trade intelligencia that has been reading WWD for 100 years, and there’s another readership that John Fairchild stoked to a very very high level that’s the civillian readership that cares about media, and society, and style, aside from the one that cares about retail and fashion, and I hope we’ll be speaking to them as well.”

– It’s exciting day when you finally launch a new site, but for AOL Patch’s New Rochelle edition, it has brought on a total headache.
