As Big Head DC reported a long time ago, Laurel Touby has been shopping her Mediabistro empire around to the highest bidder. And, today, she’s found the proper suitor — to the tune of $23 million smackers! It’s a price much higher than most media insiders we’ve spoken to ever thought Touby could broker.
What this will mean for the operations of FishbowlDC, we don’t know yet. We do know that FishbowlDC’s editor Patrick Gavin has long been looking to leave his position to focus on a book about 9/11.

A book about 9/11? How unoriginal and behind the times.
[…] HOME ABOUT ADVERTISE MEDIA TIPS@BIGHEADDC.COM Announcing FishbowlDC’s Newest Pal Monday July 23rd, 2007 9:48 AM by BHDC Staff Filed under: tk, Chris Matthews, Mediabistro, Laurel Touby, Brian Stetler According to Jossip, we’ll have to wait until a Wednesday night cocktail party to see Mediabistro’s (or should we say Jupitermedia’s?) Laurel Touby formally constrict her boa around the new TVNewser blogger, Chris Ariens, a 37-year-old former MSNBC producer who currently lives in Hoboken with his dog Nibbles. Ariens is a much older and much more single replacement for Brian Stetler, local Towson U. wunderkind who’s always liked too many donuts, but no one would say it out loud. As Stetler begins work at the NY Times today, we’ve already noticed that Ariens has devoted 8 of his last 13 posts to covering NBC Universal companies. So watch out, Chris Matthews, he’s coming for you. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. email this | digg this | del.icio.us | reddit | permalink […]
