    Mapes Responds
    By webteam
    If you want a first peek at fired "60 Minutes II" producer Mary Mapes's version of what happened after last September's ill-fated report on George Bush's service record, here's an excerpt of her upcoming book in Vanity Fair that was posted on the Poynter site.

    Two of the more memorable passages: "I must answer the bloggers, the babblers and blabbers, and the true believers who have called me everything from a 'feminazi' to an 'elitist' liberal to an 'idiot.

    You Look Fabulous
    By webteam
    Boston magazine created quite a stir earlier this year when its list of 100 most powerful local people included just one person of color. But there's obviously a difference between being powerful and being fabulous.

    Is it Sign Off for Andelman?
    By webteam
    This Globe story today makes one wonder if Eddie Andelman is finished on Boston radio. If that's the case, we'll take a look at his remarkable career another time.

    Yes, Eddie had lost six inches off his fastball in recent years. But he was a godfather of sports talk in this town -- a funny, innovative, creative, ingenious radio talker who infused sports with an infectious humor and enthusiasm.

    Battle Over Theo
    By webteam
    An interesting sidebar to the snagged negotiations over a new contract for Red Sox GM Theo Epstein is the growing debate over the coverage in the Boston dailies. The Herald's Tony Massarotti is accusing the Globe of carrying water for team president Larry Lucchino and citing its parent company's ownership stake in the ballclub as part of the evidence.

    A Matter of Timing
    By webteam

Outgoing CBS News President Andrew Heyward will be succeeded by Sean McManus on Nov. 7. Guess what's happening on Nov. 8? It's the release of Truth And Duty, the book written by Mary Mapes, the producer of the ill-fated Sept.

    The media are always attracted to milestones, so the grim one from Iraq made a number of front pages today.

    By webteam
    We quizzed a handful of experts and some Village Voice alum about their reaction to today's news of the merger between the Voice's parent company and New Times Media (See previous post.) Their verdict wasn't very positive.

    Kit Rachlis, former executive editor of the Voice, former editor of L.A. Weekly, and now editor-in-chief of Los Angeles magazine: "This is not a good thing for the alternative press.
