NEW: Trump Threatens to Sue The New York Times and CNN Over Iran Reporting nytimes.com/2025/06/26/bus…

good timing!

These were the days when magazines were everything, the stuff of dreams for this young journalist. $485,000 for a cover shoot? Worth every penny ... Can't wait to read Michael M. Grynbaum's book. nytimes.com/2025/06/27/bus…

.Condé Nast editors were the original influencers, their lives a top-to-bottom marketing campaign. The decadence was the point. When it dwindled, so did the power of Condé Nast. A well-timed assessment adaptated from Michael M. Grynbaum’s forthcoming book. nytimes.com/2025/06/27/bus…

in 2017, GQ paid for me to stay at the Paris Ritz for three days to write 150 words in a package which then ended up getting cut for space nytimes.com/2025/06/27/bus…

Last July was one of the most consequential months in recent history. In our upcoming book "2024," we reconstruct July 13 -- the day Trump was shot by a would-be assassin as Biden fought to save his candidacy. Thanks The Washington Post for the excerpt here. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

New, w/ Michael M. Grynbaum, Lauren Hirsch and David Enrich: Paramount to Pay Trump $16 Million to Settle ‘60 Minutes’ Lawsuit nytimes.com/2025/07/02/bus…

In midnight deal, Paramount agrees to pay Trump $16 million to settle lawsuit that most experts viewed as baseless. The deal is the clearest sign yet of Trump’s ability to intimidate major American institutions. Ben Mullin Lauren Hirsch Michael M. Grynbaum nytimes.com/2025/07/02/bus…

Every line of this Michael M. Grynbaum piece on Conde's excesses is absolute gold, but I legit laughed out loud at this section.

Vogue sent Kim Basinger & 23 trunks of clothing to Kenya in 1988 for 3 weeks. Polly Mellen chained a falcon to Basinger's wrist (she was petrified it'd peck her face) and they slept in electrified tents. I shared a few more Condé tales in the audio here: nytimes.com/2025/06/27/bus…

For 60 Minutes, a humbling moment at an uneasy time for press freedom. nytimes.com/2025/07/02/bus… New w/ David Enrich on the $16M settlement with Trump:

Jeff Fager, ex-EP of “60 Minutes,” told me the settlement “is a shame, and it’s a mistake.” “What matters is how far they are going down the road to curtail what ‘60 Minutes’ covers, and when they air it.” nytimes.com/2025/07/02/bus…

.TOWN&COUNTRY calls Empire of the Elite "juicy, illuminating, and relentless in its reporting," and says it's one of the best books to read in July! townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts-a…

My Condé Nast book is a Vulture pick for July! "This reported saga doubles as a shrewd cultural history of the 20th century." Thanks to Emma Alpern for very kind words vulture.com/article/new-bo…
