Awkward moments in media management: In the midst of Time Inc. editor in chief John Huey's search for a replacement for Time managing editor Jim Kelly, Kelly collected two Ellies--including the evening-ending heavyweight-division prize for general excellence, which drew a pointedly sustained ovation from Kelly's fellow editors.

Today, Huey gamely celebrated the win, in a long and fulsome e-mail (posted in full at Gawker). Among the all-caps praises:

IT IS A FITTING TRIBUTE TO A MAN WHO WAS SITTING IN THE PILOT'S SEAT AT TIME ON THE MORNING OF 9/11/01, AND HASN'T MADE A MISSTEP SINCE.

Sitting in the what, now?

Time Inc. editor in chief John Huey has reached out to Newsweek managing editor Jon Meacham to see if he would be interested in Time's managing-editor job, according to sources with knowledge of the search.

Reached by phone, Meacham declined to comment on any interactions with Huey, but said he has no plans to leave Newsweek.

"I'm extremely happy at Newsweek, where I intend to stay," Meacham said.

Time maintains that incumbent managing editor Jim Kelly's status has not changed. Huey has, however, sought the advice of former Time Inc. editor at large (and former New York Times public editor) Daniel Okrent on the search for Kelly's replacement, according to two sources.

Besides Meacham, sources have said Huey has also asked Michael Kinsley and Slate's Jacob Weisberg about their interest in the job. --Gabriel Sherman

Ana Marie Cox, the former editor of Wonkette.com and the author of Dog Days, has signed to be a columnist for Time and Time.com. She will file a weekly column on politics for the Web site and a monthly column in the magazine. Her first deadline is this week; this past Thursday, at the D.C. bureau offices, she had the photo taken that would accompany the column.

A press release will be issued by Time early this week, for which Cox submitted a quote. It is: "My only regret about selling out to Time is that it didn't happen earlier. I hope to put the 'stream' in Mainstream Media."

Cox will be joining fellow mainstream-journalist-turned-blogger-turned-mainstream-journalist Andrew Sullivan, whose arrival at Time was feted by managing editor Jim Kelly earlier this month.

Time staffers are still waiting for the gavel to fall on Time Inc.'s latest round of cost-cutting announced last week. While Sports Illustrated staffers received a memo announcing the revocation of perks such as catered meetings and (gasp!) business-class air travel, Time staffers haven't heard anything similar. "We've had some trouble with e-mail," a Time staffer joked. "The one lesson we took away from Matt Cooper was not to put anything in e-mails." Time managing editor Jim Kelly said the magazine wasn't trying to avoid a leak by not issuing a memo, and an e-mail about expenses will be distributed in the next week. "We have a memo that will go out at some point," Mr. Kelly said. "It was left up to each magazine to do its own thing." --Gabriel Sherman  read more »
