Live from the ScribeMedia studio in downtown NYC, Dorian Benkoil of Teeming Media sits down for a live video live video interview with renown designer Roger Black and Complex Media CEO and Publisher Rich Antoniello to talk about the state of media and magazines.

Rich Antoniello says he’s figured out the formula to make the ever-feisty Complex magazine work on the Web and other platforms. Roger Black has his own designs for ways to present news and information seamlessly on everything from a netbook to the iPhone. With the magazine industry in trouble, even upheaval, what makes it work? And what will work in the future? We’ll talk with the strategic thinker, vaunted designer and entrepreneur, and with the leader of the cross cultural magazine for men that claims to have energized its audience and made real money online. And, as always, we’ll make sure there are “aha” moments where we give you the tools to use what’s being discussed. Plus, we’ll throw in “Shallow Thoughts” humor and other treats.

Measuring media has never more crucial. Marketers want to justify every penny spent and make sure they’re hitting just the right audience. But even vaunted media brands are struggling to justify their claims. Along comes TiVo, promising to measure audience as never before. Nielsen says it measures better than anyone. Naked Media host Dorian Benkoil will ask our guests, executives Jon Gibs from Nielsen and Todd Juenger from TiVo, to explain what they’re doing, how they’re challenging each other, and how anyone can make sense of the myriad ways to try to measure media today — time spent, composition, engagement, and dozens of other “metrics”.

We’ll also discuss other leaders in the space. And, as always, we’ll make sure there are “aha” moments where we give you, our users and participants, the tools to use what’s being discussed. Plus, we’ll throw in “Shallow Thoughts” commentary and other treats.

He also goes over:

Former Wall Street Journal publisher Gordon Crovitz has teemed with Court TV founder Stephen Brill and cable TV exec Leo Hindery to found Journalism Online, an attempt to give publishers a way to sell their content to users whom they hope will pay for it.

Dorian has some thoughts on what can make the project work and what difficulties it will face. See them here.
