"newsweek" is not a news magazine nor is "time" magazine a news magazine. they are journals of opinion. liberals journals of opinion at that why would they identify this person as a left wing activist? because their audience, their readers don't care that this person is a left wing activist. i mean, they are in a fight, literally, bill, for survival. and in that fight, they are aiming at a niche audience of liberals with money, enough money to buy the magazine. bill: but that's not what john meacham, the editor of "newsweek," puts the journal up to be. he says that it is a fair arbitrator of the week's events and that he has correspondents going out and covering stories. now, this guy doesn't work for "newsweek." this perlstein. doesn't very a web site that he wants conservatives to explode. >> no. he hates fox. he joined a movement to, i forget the name of it but it's a hate fox news channel movement. bill: now "newsweek" has been exposed as a fraud. i don't disagree with your assessment of "newsweek" and "time." i believe they are in dire trouble. they wa

they're not attempting by and large to do glossy magazines or national magazines.they are very narrow. they do the fine slice, the laser focus of things. so, you know, the way you compete with google is you don't do what google does. you don't create a search engine. what you do is you say we're going to have to twitter, it's a perfect example. three years ago twitter was -- it was just an idea 140 characters. today twitter has, what, 40 employees? >> yeah. >> they don't have any revenues. they don't need any revenues it's so cheap to invent. you can invent twitters and more to come. is twitter winner take all for a short time? how long is that going to last. monopolies online pop into existence and disappear. remember before facebook there was myspace and before myspace there was friendster and so on. i think google rightly believes their monopoly if they would use the word is not guaranteed and not set in stone and they are more likely to lose it ton retain it. how do you compete with free, not if you're an up and coming internet bit economy company but if you're

(laughs) a mind and a passion and the a will at work. >> yes, absolutely, absolutely. >> rose: so you end up in cannes. >> i end up in cannes with only... the only idea was to take as many pictures as i could. but at the time, you have to think, it was so different. i was just there and i was approaching everyone and i... and one of the persons i met was dustin hoffman and dustin was there for "lenny." >> rose: the story of lenny bruce. >> yes. and i was, i'm sure, the only woman phot

is this sale the death for magazines as we know them and really for print? businesses pay a lot of money to advertise and business week was the place to do it. joining us is the managing director and research analyst and julia boorsten is the business kor respondent. when are the bills you that understand how it is? >> business week is facing a decline in advertising, but there many that show it was a newer magazine. zag zeens were home domino, a home design magazine close as well. they face a distinct challenge. their advertisers are primarily auto advertisers and financial services and luckry goods. they are hurting particularly now because they are facing a hume challenge. it might make a lot of sense to them right now. >> when julia stops, the numbers she had with the industry overall. what about the financial serfs to forbes or fortune. were they weaker? >> business week has been performing with the sector and it has been suffering as yulia points out. it's not a recent phenomenon. the magazines have been losing share because of the competitive dynamic

. >>> guess what will be in the mail next week the aarp, the magazine. you should be receiving it and guess who is on the cover, bruce springsteen, turning 64. but there an article in the magazine that we want to talk about today with gabby, the editorial protect -- projects manager of the magazine and he says we aren't getting enough of the sunshine vitamin. >> we aren't. you know, for many years doctors knew we needed vitamin d for our bones but now they find we need it for other tissues and organs and are not getting enough sunshine. that's how your body produces vitamin d and we have been told for years to cover up to avoid skin cancer and now they are finding out we are not getting enough. >> reporter: what is it contributing to? what illness? >> they are finding out new things every day but cancer heart disease, weak bones, all kinds of things can happen if are you don't get enough vitamin d. >> how much sunshine do you need each day. >> not too much. you don't want to go out and bake in the sun but 10 to 15 minutes a day and then you can go ahead

i have worked for all sorts of magazines based in new york. they were always willing to feed me everything west of the hudson river and east of los angeles. it's worked out. go tlut places you've lived. >> i was born in akron, ohio. i grew up in a little town in minnesota. from there, i went to princeton university, which is the subject of this book. this town was a little farm town. princeton could have have been more different. i went to oxford university on scholarship for one year. one day on assignment in montana, i saw my opportunity. you can imagine how the end of the world affects house prices. i was covering a cult which at that time about 3,000 people strong in a county that only had 10,000. people were literally selling their houses foregoing underground and riding out a nuclear hole owe cost. >> i was betting against that  hall cost. >> it's no aspen. it's a down on its heals railroad town. a lot of hippy, intellectual artists settled there. it was an easy life and sort of misbehave out of the limelight. it has attracted a few ce

magazines. i had a magazine and sold it. it's a horrible business to be in. if you think about news, the news function of a magazine, what we are talking about the new suction of a daily newspaper being taken away from that. forget about a magazine. magazines at just 10 or 15 15 minutes you'll use to break news or they were like there is a story coming out in vanity fair that is unbelievable. it's going to be on the news and people used to cover magazine new stories on news, on tv or whatever. and that doesn't happen anymore. it's just impossible to keep the story you're working on for three months under wraps. it will leak out on the blog. . . words. and 10 words goes better with 800 words than 200 words. if you look at a twitter feed and you click on a clink and you go through a short blog post, you kind of feel cheated, to be honest if whereas if it's a newspaper article 20 words seems like a pretty good introduction to 800 words. so actually the latest innovation in blogging is bad news for the early blogs and good news for those ancient newspapers that n
