Jann Wenner To Jack Shafer: How Do You Live With Yourself? 38006

Think Jann Wenner’s got a bum rep? Think again. This “highlight” (taken from an interview with Norman Pearlstine) reminds us why the narcissistic publishing maven was our favorite Halloween costume of 2007.

Speaking about the pool of young talent: [Wenner] didn’t see an “Internet brain drain” because young people apparently face the choice between working for either “Salon or Slate, or for a magazine with a major and meaningful audience.”

Either that or they just get pigeonholed into working for Rolling Stone.
