Great job winning a record six Pulitzer Prizes last month for the Washington Post, Len Downie! But you're so fired. Or, as the Times has it in Monday's paper, "pressured" to soon leave the Post so the new publisher, Katharine Graham's granddaughter, can pick her very own editor. Nepotism beats journalism prizes, naturally. (Radar had something on this last week, but was apparently overconfident about the timing.) The publisher is trying to bring together the print and online halves of the Post, which have been warring, so it makes little sense that she's supposedly been trying to recruit as Downie's replacement old-media hands like New Yorker Editor David Remnick, former Managing Editor Steve Coll or former Wall Street Journal Managing Editor Marcus Brauchli. But Remnick and Coll have already turned the publisher down, so it's possible she'll go with WashingtonPost.com editor Liz Spayd, who the Times paints as her friend. Bottom line: the pernicious Pulitzer Prize is not correlated with journalism job security these days, except perhaps negatively (in case that wasn't sufficiently clear from the 2003 departure of Pulitzer machine John Carroll from the Los Angeles Times).

"ENDING weeks of rumors, Michael Oreskes is stepping down from atop the International Herald Tribune and heading to the Associated Press to be its first-ever managing editor for US news." [Post]

By the end of last week things looked pretty dark in the world of Project Runway. Even setting aside the show's imminent move to Lifetime, the lawsuit between producer Weinstein Co. and former host network Bravo and the defection of Runway's executive producers, there were also alarming reports about Marie Claire maybe partnering with the show and judge Nina Garcia leaving Elle and possibly Runway itself. None of that has yet come to pass, and Women's Wear Daily informs everyone today that it's because Garcia is still negotiating with both Elle and Runway and because neither Elle nor sad Marie Claire have even started negotiations with Runway yet. WWD also reminds everyone that as bad as Elle is, at least the magazine is growing its circulation, while Marie Claire's circ dropped nearly 60,000 copies to 341,000 last year, so maybe the magazine is being used as a pawn by both Elle (in negotiations with Weinstein Co.) and Garcia (in negotiations with Elle). When you throw in the possibility of Bravo developing its own Runway imitation, there are some real opportunities here for groundbreaking research by ambitious game theorists. [WWD]

Reports surfaced a few weeks ago that Jimmy Fallon, the former Saturday Night Live cast member, would replace Conan O'Brien on NBC's Late Night. This morning NBC will formally announce the move, reports the Times: "[Fallon] is expected to appear at the news conference accompanied by Lorne Michaels, the executive producer of SNL, who was also responsible for choosing Mr. O'Brien's successor on Late Night." As said in the comments last time around: "Every generation gets the late-night comedy talk show host they deserve." [Times]

It is the inevitable coda to the many problems at Hachette — the loss of Elle's Project Runway ties, the layoffs, the pathetic Web traffic — and according to Page Six it has finally begun: Nina Garcia is leaving Elle. According to the gossip page, the Runway judge is following her reality fashion show to Hearst's Marie Claire. Of course everyone saw this coming, literally. Garcia was recently spotted coming out of the Hearst building after ditching a big Elle party a couple of weeks prior. But the likelihood Garcia will remain on the show offers some faint hope to Runway viewers that new host network Lifetime won't be able to wreck it completely. It also raises the question of whether Marie Claire will somehow ruin Garcia completely, but she's survived at one dysfunctional, second-tier fashion title already, so why worry? [Post]

An ad copywriter named Yutaka Tsujino was looking for a new job. So he made himself a website called YutakaSucks.com, full of imaginary testimonials about how much he sucks at his work. And it got him a job! "We think he's hilarious," says his new agency. Consider using this tactic to land your next position. (Note: does not work if you actually suck.) [Adrants]

"A source from within CNN says that [American Idol host] Seacrest, who has filled in for his friend Larry King in the past, is involved in 'serious negotiations' to take over Larry King Live around year's end." Someone is trying to deny Katie Couric her birthright. [The Scoop via Radar]

"Bethany McLean, co-author of a best-selling book about the Enron debacle, is leaving Fortune after a 13-year run to jump to Graydon Carter's Vanity Fair... It marks at least the third time that Condé Nast, which is headed by billionaire chairman S.I. Newhouse, Jr., has come calling on McLean, one of the higher-profile journalists at the Time Inc.-owned business magazine. Portfolio had tried to get her to jump ship a year ago when Condé Nast was launching its business magazine, but Time Inc. editor-in-chief John Huey intervened to help Fortune win that tug of war." [Post]

You all love LolCats, right? The internet meme turned cultural phenomenon turned sure-to-be-best-selling book has warmed all of our hearts and lifted our spirits. Wouldn't it be great to work for them? With that in mind, did you apply for the I Can Has Cheezburger dream job?? They're hiring! The website's founder Ben Huh has received 250 applications since he posted the job opening on Monday, 243 of which are mine (sorry Nick!).

Katie Couric hit rock bottom this month, starting with talk about an early exit from the CBS Evening News, continuing through to a lost debate-hosting opportunity and the worst ratings week in her show's history, and ending with Larry King's contract renewal for a show Couric had coveted at CNN. Now, at last, the news cycle seems to be turning in Couric's favor. Newsday reports Couric may be able to nab King's time slot:

Promiscuous hipster investor Jakob Lodwick is once again looking to score for free. "Basically, if you want to work your ass off for me a few days a week," Jakob wants you for his music startup, Normative. Noting Lodwick's post-IAC riches, Tumblr'r Corinne offers this rewrite of his ad:

Email Nick with proof of media addiction, and no attachments.

Employment opportunity: 5WPR is looking for an HR director! I wonder if that's because incompetent superflack and 5W CEO Ronn [sic] Torossian fired his last HR director, filed a lawsuit against her, called her a "STUPID CUNT," and scared off potential clients? Well it could be anything, really. Good HR directors are hard to find! The full job ad is below, so apply right now.

Rocketboom's Andrew Baron is fed up with Technorati, and switching to Google. Could the blog search engine's problems be due to the fact that there's no one minding the servers? Because the company is offering an "IMMEDIATE" postition as a contract senior sys admin. Considering how long it took for the company to find a new CEO, this could get ugly. Managers are a dime a dozen — competent sys admins are a much rarer breed.

Are you being bullied at work? Who cares, as long as a media outlet can make a good listicle out of it! Forbes assembled an illustrated list of the "10 Signs You're Being Bullied At Work." It features a bunch of stock photos of people striking typical poses in typical office work environments (pictured). "We can condense and improve on that crap!" we thought, immediately sensing the opportunity to simultaneously rip off Forbes' idea and mock it in a shady philosophical tightrope act. Below, our photo-illustrated guide to the top five ways to know if you're being bullied at work. Because these days, the most bullied people don't work in offices, anyhow.

Rachel Marsden, the former pundit on the Fox show "Red Eye" who was tossed out for being too crazy, and who then went on to date Wikipedia guru Jimmy Wales before breaking up with him and putting his clothes up for sale on eBay, is now, predictably, unemployed. So she's trawling for jobs on Mediabistro, just like you! Marsden has supposedly applied to be a senior publicist at Maxim [P6]. Negatives: She has demonstrated that she is a serial loose cannon who will probably seduce the magazine's top editors and draw them into a scandalous and embarrassing public affair. Positives: She doesn't really like the Black Crowes, either.

"'Servers are such greedy bastards,' he says. A server at Ssäm Bar could bring in seventeen hundred dollars in a week working thirty-two hours; a cook working the same hours would earn three hundred and fifty"—from a new New Yorker profile of Momofuku founder and Pork King of New York David Chang. Our next job: server at Ssäm Bar, hopefully! [via Eater]
