tony of all media: Your Hump Day Disco Break: Andy Gibb

they're talking about me again

"Of course, not everyone was so intrigued [by our cover story]. 'Who runs New York?' griped Tony of All Media. 'The same people who always have. People with a helluva lot more money, who are prettier and more talented, and who are more politically and socially adept than you and I.' " -New York magazine

"'Crisis?' Tony looked up as I entered my office. He politely averted his eyes from the damp patches on my shirt. 'Nothing major.' I could feel my smile sitting slightly askew, but he seemed not to notice. 'So' — he took out his pencil — 'let's talk about your publisher. How to you and Giulio get along?'" -Ruth Reichl, in her memoir "Save Me the Plums," about her years at Condé Nast as editor in chief of Gourmet magazine

"I read a tweet from someone saying they were listening to a girl talk loudly about herself and reality stars and it turned out to be ME at breakfast! Mean!" -Andy Cohen, in his memoir "Superficial," referring to a tweet of mine

"The entire staff was fired by email. Tony Case broke the news ..." -The Nation

"Media watcher Tony Case, writing on his blog Tony of All Media, said ..." -New York Post

"The astute media observer Tony Case, who blogs at Tony of All Media, said..." -Folio

"Tony of All Media was first with the big news." -Romenesko

"As blogger Tony Case says ... " -Mashable

"Selling advertising can be tough, but as media blogger Tony Case writes about NPR, 'sucking on the government teat' might be worse." -BNET/CBS News

Hi, I'm Tony Case. I write about media, marketing and the culture for a few magazines and websites you've heard of and produce content for some well-known ad agencies and consumer brands as well. Or you might've caught me on ABC's Good Morning America, CNBC's Squawk Box, CBS This Morning, CNN, MSNBC or NPR, where I sometimes play opinionater. I also enjoy sharing news, trends and the random opinion from this space, which is mine all mine and is in no way affiliated with anybody I happen to get a paycheck from. Nor does anything you read here necessarily reflect the views of anybody I work for or anyone else of good taste or judgment or of a sound mind. If you like what you read, keep coming back. If not, that's OK — you'll get smarter someday. Comments are disabled to avoid the trolls, but I welcome your feedback — find me and follow me on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
