This is one of the first podcasts I ever did. It was recorded in San Francisco and Bulldog Reporter’s Media Relations Conference and features Richard Johnson, editor of the New York Post's Page Six, the most influential gossip page in the country who talsk about

How he decides what to write about, why the Los Angeles Times is gossip shy

How blind items protect the Post from libel claims,

Which blogs he reads, what he covers and pans

Why he doesn't read the Hollywood Reporter and Michael Jackson's likely next steps

And a day in the life of Page Six's editor.  

Entertainment public relations and personal publicists will appreciate this exclusive glimpse into the inner workings of the country's most revered gossip column.

Like it or not, there's no denying the impact of Page Six on entertainment and celebrity news beats nationwide.

Editors, celebrities and entertainment industry insiders turn to the New York Post more than any other outlet for the latest scoops and scandals and celebrities, socialites and other personalities.
