      Can Martha Stewart Once Again Avoid Financial Ruin?

      Suzanna Andrews – Vanity Fair

      Martha Stewart, the iconic head of her eponymous lifestyle empire, is 72. She may be out with a new book about adapting to life in one’s golden years, but her company, which was already struggling after losing $56.4 million last year, is back in the headlines because of a $200 million contract dispute with Macy’s.

      For quite a while, media conglomerates have faced tough headwinds as technological innovation decimated cash cows. Now, thanks to increase in smartphones and tablets, digital media may begin to make up for some of the damage it caused.
