Sun Valley Media Conference Alive With Irony
Oct. 27 2008, Published 7:07 a.m. ET
The Sun Valley Media Conference is still underway, and lots of rich people are talking to other rich people! Dan Cox is sort-of covering it for the blog Fishbowlla (that's pronounced "Fish-boy-a"!). He ran into Ken Lowe, CEO of newspaper-owning Scripps: "He was lamenting the foreboding loss of the printed written word in media. What better than to complain about the Internet to a half-drunk blogger. Lowe was keen however on discussing the mega-investment Scripps has in chef extraordinaire and rising media starlet Rachael Ray, who ironically was at the other end of the bar drinking up the joint with her agent, William Morris's Jim Wiatt." I'm not at all sure that's what "ironically" means!
