Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 7:25am on Friday, February 12th, 2010 | Ana Marie Cox Names GQ's Washington Correspondent
Politico reported on February 11, 2010:
"Ana Marie Cox, most recently at the now-shuttered Air America, has been named GQ's Washington Correspondent.
"The monthly magazine is one of the few things I haven’t tried yet," said Cox, who was founding editor at Wonkette, Washnigton editor of Time.com, and a braodcaster at Air America until a few weeks ago.
But in addition to writing magazine features, she'll be providing content daily to GQ.com, and doing a podcast for GQ Radio — a similar but "better version," she says, of her Air America show.
And Cox said she's also looking forward to working on GQ's D.C. Power List. "I’ve always seen myself as an arbiter of power," she joked."

Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 2:26pm on Monday, December 21st, 2009 | Hacker Leaks GQ Content Before December Issue Hits Shelves, WWD Media reported on December 21, 2009:
"As if the year-end newsstand competition weren’t enough, Condé Nast Publications said in court documents Thursday that GQ’s December issue had to contend with a hacker who leaked a large swath of its editorial content before the magazine even hit shelves.
In a copyright lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, the publisher said an unauthorized Web user, which it knows only by his or her Internet protocol address, had accessed the company’s networks in September and copied more than 1,100 files. In November, the anonymous author of the blog FashionZag posted some of the lifted content, including GQ’s five alternate December covers, using a third-party photo-hosting site.
Condé Nast’s legal team sent a takedown request to the photo host, which complied. Two days later, however, the publisher said the blog used a different photo service to repost the images along with much of the issue’s “still as yet unpublished editorial ‘well.’”

"NEW YORK, December 18, 2009 -- Conde Nast announced today that the GQ iPhone application of the magazine is now available monthly. The app is a digital replica of the magazine and has been approved by the Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) so purchases of the app will count towards the paid circulation of each issue of GQ.
In addition to providing all content from the print issue, including advertisements, each app also contains multimedia features such as behind-the-scenes video, links to download recommended songs, and bonus photo outtakes not available on newsstands."

Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 11:45pm on Thursday, September 10th, 2009 | The owners of GQ magazine don't want Russians to read a story about the government of Russia, NPR reported on September 4, 2009. The story by David Folkenflik also notes how the Russian government manipulates and intimidates the media:
"Conde Nast owns Vanity Fair and GQ as well as other publications, including Russian versions of GQ, Glamour, Tatler and Vogue. On July 23, Jerry S. Birenz, one of the company's top lawyers, sent an e-mail memo to more than a dozen corporate executives and GQ editors.
"Conde Nast management has decided that the September issue of U.S. GQ magazine containing Scott Anderson's article 'Vladimir Putin's Dark Rise to Power' should not be distributed in Russia," Birenz wrote.
He ordered that the article could not be posted to the magazine's Web site. No copies of the American edition of the magazine could be sent to Russia or shown in any country to Russian government officials, journalists or advertisers. Additionally, the piece could not be published in other Conde Nast magazines abroad, nor publicized in any way."
