In your melting Monday media column: perversity finds its way into the Grey Lady, fake NYT trend story may be fake, Katie Couric could return to CBS, and David Carey leaves Conde Nast.

Longtime Vogue publisher Tom Florio is leaving after 25 years at parent company Condé Nast.

Conde Nast, the only civilized business near Times Square except the Hawaiian Tropic Zone, is considering moving its headquarters down to Ground Zero's 1 World Trade Center. Can you imagine! And Conde's being wooed with some very questionable assurances.

Steve Jobs seduced New York's media moguls all too easily, convincing them his iPad would magically keep them in business — and in chauffeured limos. But nothing easy comes free, and the publishers' digital debt is now due.

Stefano Tonchi landed one of the most coveted jobs in fashion when he was named editor of W ten days ago. Good thing he doesn't start until April 12. He went on trial today in Beverly Hills for a DUI.

The media world—it changes. A few years ago, Conde Nast was a golden castle on the hill, and the internet was a squatter's hovel/ "artist's colony" far below. But lo! Now, former Nasties are flooding the internet themselves.

The iPad looks futuristic, but in some ways it keeps old media rooted in the past. Condé Nast, for example, will offer some magazine content on the Apple tablet before its release on the open Web.

Dominique Browning was the editor of Condé Nast's House & Garden for 12 years-and then she got fired. In this Sunday's New York Times Magazine, she chronicles her descent into apertif-drinking, Bach-listening, metaphor-mixing madness.

In your munificent Monday media column: W's new editor selection appears to be at hand, Howie Kurtz writes something decent, a WSJ prediction comes (roughly) true, and low morale at ABC News.

In your laughable Thursday media column: Roger Ailes calls for unity, Brandon Holley lives the lonely life online, W's editor is leaving, and so are some editors at Harper's.

Condé Nast's Self magazine made our list of "Print's Ten Worst Late Payment Offenders" last year for stiffing a freelancer for 300 days. Which is about 40 more days than Condé Nast will wait for payment before it sues you.

In your flippant Friday media column: Americans don't know who to trust, a money man gives up on the NYT, Conde Nast is spying on you, and Chris Dovi really got screwed.
