Excellent analysis of the Mediabistro ethos from Jossip’s Debbie Newman re: Howie Kurtz’s coverage of the company’s blog offerings:
So what’s Kurtz’s underlying point? Is he suggesting that Touby has lost her focus, that the journalistic utopia she once envisioned has instead yielded a celebrity media circus? That her ideal of an all-inclusive community (built on “warmth and camaraderie”) has become as cliquish and cutthroat as any other? If so, then I’d be the first to agree. Although I’d also be hard-pressed to hold just one person responsible, whether it’s the founder of Mediabistro or the founding editor of Gawker.

“Our tone is one of warmth and camaraderie and not nasty backbiting,” Mediabistro founder Laurel Touby (and boss of FishbowlDC’s Patrick Gavin) tells Howie Kurtz. “We can be arch, but we’re not making fun of people.”
