Summary: There's a good reason Marc Berman (http://twitter.com/#!/Marcberman) is known as Mr. Television. As the man behind MediaWeek's daily television newsletter The Programming Insider his commentary on the medium reached more than 50,000 readers per day. Berman recently launched TV Media Insights, a new online destination for television and media with its own newsletter, forum and podcast. Berman handicaps this year's Emmy Awards and also tells us which new shows are worth watching in the upcoming season. We also continue our discussion on the publishing industry, which due to the dramatic changes in how they do business, is becoming one of the more fascinating parts of the entertainment industry. As e-book sales increase, popular authors are beginning to announce plans to release new work directly to readers and Amazon plans on creating a Netflix fof books. Meanwhile, a The Hollywood Reporter served a cease and desist order on Deadline.com which sparked a war of words between the two trade outlets. Is the Reporter in financial trouble, and if so, should Deadline staff be spreading the word to potential advertisers? We also cover the week's top entertainment news including the controversy over Mel Gibson's next directorial effort, P.J. Harvey's second Mercury Prize and Ryan Seacrest's bid for his very own cable network.
