Publishers at Condé Nast have asked to contemplate how they might trim 10 percent from their budgets. Meanwhile, Hearst does a Don Corleone impression, and a 55-year-old's "fun" internship doesn't sound fun at all.

• The rough media market is even hitting the last refuge — college. Campus newspapers have been forced to scale back production, cut stipends, or fold altogether and rely on their web editions. [USAT via Gawker]
