Tatler editor Georgie Greig is expected to resign this week to take over as editor or editor in chief of the London Evening Standard (why do you need both on one paper?) Meanwhile new owner Alexander Lededev's son Evgeny has been wining and dining the hacks (at his own restaurant handily) even though many of them will probably be on their bikes soon. He's also promised to invest £25m in the paper over the next three years, which may be the minimum required if it really is losing as much money as people say. But at least he's decided not to put Tony Blair on his ludicrous editorial advisory board (these are useless talking shops that occasionally interfere in the paper when it writes something disagreeable about one of the board members' chums). So it looks as though editor Veronica Wadley, who hasn't been seen in the office since the takeover went through, will be on her way too, even though she's done a good job. Her old foe, former London mayor Ken Livingstone, will be pleased anyway. Wadley is married to investigate journalist and author Tom Bower, so the Lebedevs had better watch their step. **Marketing week publisher Centaur has begun wielding the axe on the staff, including some at Marketing Week, once the flagship title of the empire. While nearly all business magazines are suffering in the recession (Reed Business Information in London announced 35 redundancies today) Marketing Week is also paying the penalty for hardly developing at all over the past decade. Now it's trying to re-invent itself as a news website with a 'features only' print version. So it seems a bit odd that it's cutting features staff first. What price Marketing Month? **The BBC, allegedly on a cost-cutting drive (Jonathan Ross can expect his generous £6m a year stipend to be cut by a quarter) has embarked mob-handed for Davos in Switzerland. This is the annual beanfeast where the masters of the financial universe (ha,ha) chinwag each year with politicians and those single issue pressure groups rich enough to afford the hotels and hospitality. Today's Evan Davis is there along with superstar business editor Robert Peston, among others. And what have they to tell us? That all the bankers there are peed off because they didn't see the credit crunch coming and they're being shouted at by those politicians who have made the trip, like Russia's Vladimir Putin. Sounds like a (not very) jolly to me.
