After months of speculation, the carnage came to Condé Nast earlier this week. The company, one of the nation's three biggest magazine publishers, announced it would close four magazines, including Gourmet, one of the industry's most iconic publications. A NEWSWEEK analysis of industry data provides new evidence of the financial toll that drove that decision: based on estimates of publishing data, Condé Nast could see its ad revenue drop by $1 billion in 2009.

WIRED is directly affiliated with the advertising agency known as Condenast, who is expected to have lost over $1 billion this year. Could they have signed a new ad contract with a major vaccine company?

Print media ad buy ''a signal of a turnaround'' in advertising, publisher says. Readers of The New Yorker will open the magazine's Oct. 12 money-themed issue and find that the Conde Nast publication has a bit more of the stuff it is writing about. HSBC ( HBC - news - people ) Bank USA is sponsoring the issue, which will feature three different illustrated money-themed covers on each magazine. Within the Conde Nast publication, HSBC ads appear opposite the three covers, inside a cover flap, on the inside back cover facing the popular New Yorker cartoon caption contest page, and on the back cover.
Every £1,000 you invest will help immunise over 130 children against five life–threatening diseases* The Vaccine Investment Plan and Vaccine Investment ISA are the first of their kind in the UK. Recent changes to ISA regulations have allowed institutions who receive contributions for international humanitarian development projects to issue bonds and other securities that are now capable of being held within an ISA.
Both have a reputation for being shy and reluctant to give interviews. Of late, however, Si Newhouse has become more accessible. ''I try to keep private,'' he said. ''I sometimes succeed and sometimes don't.'' Si Newhouse gets fairly actively involved day to day at Conde Nast, where he is in effect chief executive.
GSK has created programs to run in National Geographic, focusing on its philanthropic projects. These campaigns ran in the print vehicle and on TV, tying the ad messaging with the editorial environment "to give it relevancy and engage the people who come to those properties. That’s why they come to National Geographic," Smith says. Ensuring that ad content works with editorial or programming content "provides a lift for the traditional creative, and we put metrics in place to measure that lift."

I figured something was rotten in Denmark when I saw this. A few other shows raised my eyebrows to NatGeos purpose, but none as much as this one. Thank you for the eye opener.
The Alliance's partners include industrialized countries vaccine manufacturers (Crucell, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck & Co., Inc., Novartis, Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccines division of sanofi-aventis, and Wyeth), developing countries vaccine industry, industrialized and developing country governments, UNICEF, the WHO, the World Bank, charitable foundations and NGOs
One source for the desired billion dollars for spreading untested H1N1 vaccines to the developing world will clearly be the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Over the past decade the Gates Foundation, the largest tax-exempt foundation in the United States since it pooled funds with fellow billionaire investor Warren Buffett, has put $1 billion into something called GAVI Alliance, formerly the Global Alliance for Vaccination and Immunization. The Gates Foundation sits on the GAVI board together with the major Swine Flu vaccine maker GlaxoSmithKline and others from the global drug industry. Over the past decade the Gates Foundation alone has pumped $1 billion into GAVI to spread vaccines across the Third World. The Gates Foundation is the largest financial backer of the WHO-linked GAVI "public-private partnership." This is the same Bill Gates Foundation which is a major sponsor of the curious Svalbard Arctic "Doomsday Seed Vault" along with Syngenta and major Genetically Modified seed manufacturers.
