Newspapers have a fever, and the only cure is more Playboy
On Portfolio.com, Playboy CEO Christie Hefner, daughter of founder Hugh Hefner, spends a few hundred words patting herself on the back for breaking the story behind a Hollywood script and "Playboy's ability to grow its combined print and online audience and advertising." That, she seems to think, qualifies her to condescend to newspaper executives across America. Except "Playboy’s digital revenues have been flat or shrinking over the last few quarters, and the growth even before has been slower than industry average," according to PaidContent's Rafat Ali.
