Famous on the Internet



Nearly 15 years ago, amid one of the great post-financial crisis inflection 
points in our increasingly digital existence, I took an editor’s job at the 
prestigious but undeniably musty New York Times Magazine. Obviously, I 
admired the Times as much as anyone else in the media business, but I was an 
anomaly on the sixth floor of 620 Eighth Avenue in almost every way. Most 
notably, I was a decade, if not more, junior to all the other editors—not 
only did I come to the job with my own cultural reference points, but my 
career had been forged by very different economic and technological 
realities, and I had a slightly messianic conviction that our industry 
needed to reinvent itself while it still had the chance. After all, I was 
part of a new leadership team hired to reimagine a brand that had just come 
to terms with the fact that its very title—with that word Magazine hanging 
like an anchor—made less and less sense in our evolving media landscape.

Memorably, I started the job on the 10th anniversary of 9/11—at the Times, 
which is understandably steeped in nostalgia and a wee bit of self-regard, 
you’re awarded a copy of A1 on your start date. Many people hung their 
start-date Page One in their offices and cubicles, and I did so too for a 
time, trying to fit in. Living history aside, it was a fascinating time to 
be at the Times: The company was undergoing its own transformation, between 
the $250 million Carlos Slim bailout in 2009 and the much-ballyhooed 
Innovation Report, which would come five years later and eventually 
revitalize the business. In fact, my first day also marked the very start of 
the brief and rocky Jill Abramson administration. A teaser to her report 
from the ground in Afghanistan, undoubtedly an attempt to burnish her 
credentials, ran in the paper the day I started.

Watching the Times navigate the digital and social disruption had a profound 
impact on my career. But the future wasn’t always so clear at the time. A 
pair of new magazine features I greenlighted, in particular, captured the 
flavor of the moment and our imprecise ability to see around the corner. The 
first was The One Page Magazine, which reduced the flourishes and 
conventions of the fading glossy format—celebrity interviews, service 
packages with B-list talent, self-serious well features, ask-an-expert 
gags—to microscopic items on a single print page. It was a commentary on the 
creeping obsolescence of the form, sure, but also an attempt to honor it. 
The One Page Magazine spawned some stars, like Taffy Brodesser-Akner, the 
author of Fleishman Is in Trouble, but it also inevitably annoyed plenty of 
people in the industry and the building who didn’t quite appreciate the 
slightly existential parody. They had a point.

I also worked on a feature called They’re Famous! (On the Internet), which 
was devoted to the new generation of stars who had built their unique 
followings on social media and digital video channels. (We didn’t yet have 
the word “influencer” in those quaint times.) The column was a light-hearted 
reflection of the weirdly bifurcated cultural moment that we inhabited, 
where talented comedians and other personalities could achieve virality and 
yet be totally anonymous in the broader culture.

I was thinking back to those days this week while reading a pair of 
absolutely brilliant pieces by my partner Julia Alexander that illuminate 
how far the media business has come in the last decade and a half, and also 
how unrecognizable it may be in another 10 years. In Why Netflix Shouldn’t 
Be YouTube, Julia prosecutes the hypothesis that the streaming giant can one 
day cross the $1 trillion valuation threshold by luring select independent 
digital creators onto its platform.

On its face, it’s an utterly valid supposition. Yet in Julia’s distillation, 
it falls apart for a couple key reasons, but it can largely be reduced to 
one: Netflix operates a scale-by-hits playbook (more hits equals more 
engagement and less churn) while YouTube deploys the precise opposite 
strategy—a hits-by-scale model, whereby the deluge of content creates more 
opportunities for audiences to find their niche, and attracts more ad 
dollars to the platform. Either way, the very fact that premium platforms 
would seek to leverage digital creators tells us how much things have 
changed from the old days.

In her equally excellent piece Google Zero Dark Thirty, Julia takes on a 
topic that transported me back to those One Page Magazine days. Months ago, 
Google’s search engine started providing A.I.-generated responses to queries 
“above the fold,” so to speak, pushing the top results further down the 
page. This seemingly simple transition—an attempt to keep consumers on the 
platform instead of sending them elsewhere—has had a profound impact on 
publishers. In fact, I’d surmise Google’s pivot to A.I. is going to be as 
consequential in the industry as the financial crisis, the rise of social 
media, and the advent of the iPhone—maybe combined. As Julia notes with 
data-driven somber grace, Google’s manifestation of a post-click world 
demonstrates that we’re not at the end of an era, but the fore of a brave 
new world. And that, of course, is one of the great stories of our time—and 
precisely what you should expect from Puck.





Happy Fourth weekend,
Jon

later and eventually revitalize the business. In fact, my first day also =
