From Sunday's New York Times' Business section. An interesting behind-the-scenes look at a once-small green brand that has now been bought by Clorox: IN the summer of 1984, Burt Shavitz, a beekeeper in Maine, picked up Roxanne Quimby, a 33-year-old single mother down on her luck, as she hitchhiked to the post office in Dexter, Me. More than a dozen years Ms. Quimby's senior, the guy locals

Here's a neat article on fake vomit--it actually contains quite a bit of industry data. The Chicago Tribune covered a local company who is a leader in this gag gift market:"The building holds a secret.A vile and totally eeeewwwww secret, one that brings together 12-year-olds and 12-year-olds at heart.From the outside, it is another two-story brick warehouse on Chicago's West Side.

From yesterday's New York Times: When the 12,000 members of the Writers Guild of America decided on Nov. 4 to strike, Hollywood wondered how hard the white-collar group would fight. The guild addressed the worry before the first pickets hit the streets."In years past, our picketing schedule has gone, 'Picket on Mondays for two hours and then meet at a bar until the following Monday,'" said David

From yesterday's New York Times: When some striking members of the Writers Guild of America created a series of videos depicting speechless actors in support of the writers' cause, they did not post them on the guild's Web site or on YouTube. Instead, the videos made their premiere exclusively on Deadline Hollywood Daily, a Web site owned and operated by Nikki Finke, a columnist for the

From today's New York Times: LOS ANGELES, Nov. 19 — Amway, the door-to-door peddler of vitamins and soap, wants to reinvent how Hollywood sells entertainment. The owners of the multilevel marketing company are pouring millions of dollars into a new online store called Fanista (pronounced fa-NEE-sta).

From yesterday's New York Times: Brian Grazer, one of the most successful producers in Hollywood, would seem to be a memorable guest, with his energetic manner and elaborately spiked hair. But to make sure he is not forgotten, he will often leave behind a small photo of himself in an inexpensive heart-shaped frame after attending a dinner or party, hiding it among his host's family photographs..

Unions representing 12,000 screenwriters asked members on Monday to authorize a strike at any time after their contract expires at the end of this month. If granted, authorization would set the stage for Hollywood's first industrywide walkout since writers struck in 1988...Negotiations between the guilds and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents the makers of

This article from today's NYTimes details how a movie that was made over three years ago is just now being released. A behind-the-scenes look at the challenges of movie distribution: Anton Yelchin’s voice was still changing when, at barely 15 years old, he starred alongside Diane Lane and Donald Sutherland in “Fierce People,” an offbeat, surprisingly dark coming-of-age movie that Griffin Dunne

From today's NYT: FIRST, television presented real news. Then came fake news on parody programs like “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.” This weekend, Fox Broadcasting will send fake news vans onto the streets of four cities to promote a real show...In addition to the vans, the agency behind the campaign to publicize “Back to You,” A.D.D.

I'm on an "out of hiatus" roll!

From yesterday's NYT: Another article that was hiatus-interrupting worthy. This one details a battle that is underway between Alan Ladd, Jr. and Warner Bros. Studios. The article gives some behind-the-scenes looks at how licensing and royalty payments work. If this case goes to court (every similar case in the past has been settled), it may impact studio accounting across the board. Stay

Had to come out of hiatus to post this article--a great example of how you can find info about vaguely-defined industries (like concert promotion) and get clues to help with the rest of your research.From today's NYT: The music industry may seem like a broken record of bad news these days, with plunging album sales and confusion over the digital future.

Some of you may have noticed that posting to AEMM News lately has been sporadic at best. Save for the flurry of posts I entered today, there hasn't been much activity here over the last few weeks.

From today's NYTimes...They all went to Mr. Pellicano when their situations seemed too complex, or the stakes too high, to leave anything to chance: executives and actors, studio bosses and their jilted spouses, the hottest and the has-been. In nearly 20 years in Los Angeles, he had made himself into the rightful owner of that breathless title, "Detective to the Stars," the one man who would, and

Think that a CEO is too high up in the corporate food chain to care about transparency and "radical trust?" Think again.From last month's Wired magazine: Pretend for a second that you're a CEO.

From today's NYT: There are two different stories people tend to tell when they're trying to explain why the middle class is feeling squeezed.The first one is about inequality. The top 0.1 percent of earners -- that's one taxpayer out of every 1,000 -- now brings in 11 percent of the nation's total income, triple the share that they did just a generation ago. This has happened because the rich

From today's NYT: Searching the Web on a mobile phone has been a lot like getting online via dial-up modem circa 1995: slow, tedious and not terribly useful. Typing on tiny buttons, squinting at a list of links and clicking through to a page that won't display properly is enough to test anyone's patience.But that is beginning to change.

From tomorrow's NYT (online today): ...“Today’s executives not only have to be photogenic, but also telegenic for anything from basic blogs to podcasts,” said Rachel Weingarten, author of the coming book “Career and Corporate Cool” (Wiley, July 2007). “Since this information is also more widely available and accessible, there’s less of a chance to impress people, and the concern is that the
