BREAKING NEWS & VIEWS

Wenner Joins Vanity Fair's 'New Establishment'
Wednesday, September 1, 2010

Jann Wenner is hardly "new" in his launching Rolling Stone in October 1967, and he was hardly "establishment" in the biweekly's anti-Vietnam War "counterculture" origins.

That was then. Now, RS' July 8 reporting by Michael Hastings of the insubordinations by Gen. Stanley McChrystal and his staff towards President Obama--which led to Obama firing McChrystal and reassigning Gen. David Petraeus
as U.S. military commander in Afghanistan--led to Wenner being ranked 60th among the 100 members of Vanity Fair's 2010 "New Establishment" in the just-released October issue.

VF cites the Hastings exposé as the latest example of RS "churning out a string of high-caliber stories that have made the magazine constantly engaging."

"New Establishment" has been a VF staple since 1995, with media, digital, and Hollywood moguls dominating. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who is very "new,"  is tops, and the not-so-new Rupert Murdoch ranks fourth after Apple's Steve Jobs and Google's Sergey Brin/Larry Page/Eric Schmidt.

None of this summer's anointed magazine co. presidents--Hearst Corporation's David Carey, Time Inc.'s Jack Griffin, Meredith National Media Group's Tom Harty and VF parent Condé Nast's Bob Sauerberg--is on the list, but Lady Gaga ranks 23rd. She, ironically, was on the same July 8 RS cover that earned Wenner his VF "stripes."
