AmLaw mafia rides again

By Mark Obbie

ADVERTISEMENTS

Here at LawBeat, we look for a legal journalism theme in practically anything. It's not hard to find in the latest Time Inc. shakeup. Replacing Money magazine managing editor Eric Schurenberg is Craig Matters, who first landed his job at Money due to his American Lawyer connection to then-Money chief Bob Safian. Now Safian is the top editor at Fast Company, where one of his ins was the former No. 2 at sister magazine Inc., Karen Dillon (a former American Lawyer editor and now No. 2 at Harvard Business Review). With Jane Berentsen (Amlaw veteran) now heading Inc., and former American Lawyer editor Steve Adler in charge at BusinessWeek (with a posse of former Amlaw'ers with him), and with Amlaw veteran Rich Barbieri high on the CNNMoney.com masthead because of his Matters connection, it's tempting to conclude that if Steve Brill hadn't started The American Lawyer, business magazines today would be forced to rely on headhunters, or something. Congrats to Matters, with whom I worked closely at the American Lawyer first-generation online service for lawyers called Counsel Connect, and who's a first-class journalist.
