The Star and WWD of James Brady

James Brady

Keeping your resume to one page is so LY.

Today, when Forbes announced the editor of their new media column, James Brady, they just had Brady announce himself. Never forget that before Bonnie Fuller, Kurt Anderson, and Richard Johnson, there was this guy.

After going from a copyboy at the New York Daily News to a Women's Wear Daily reporter, and eventually founding the Intelligencer column at New York magazine, Brady's latest stint was on camera for CNBC.

Wow, this guy is really accomplished, right? He's done tons of reporting, interviewed celebrities, hell, he even edited Star and created and wrote Page Six. What a bomb life! Brady is obviously a natch choice for this new media column — plus, how thrilled are we that the new whole in our hearts, (left by the empty space once occupied by Jon Friedman) will now be filled.

Brady asks: Why did Steve Forbes and Forbes.com Editor Paul Maidment hire me to write weekly about media?

The answer: I'll be reporting what people in the business say, do or even suspect–writing what Maidment calls "off-the-beaten-track media stories."

A media reporter reporting on what people in the media business are saying and doing? Brilliant!
