Pecker, Bonnie Both Safe For Now

American Media renewed Bonnie Fuller's contract, reports The New York Times. Editorial director of a company best known for its supermarket tabloids, Fuller signed the new three-year deal late last week, and will continue to rake in a $1.5 million annual base salary--but can earn more in bonuses over the next three years than she has in the past, as she is guaranteed an annual bonus of at least $500,000, based on the performance of Star. The new contract is a sign that her job--and that of David Pecker, chief executive of American Media--are safe for the time being, the Times says. The industry is rife with rumors of his imminent ouster, and "they're in a little bit of a crisis," notes Reed Phillips III, a managing partner of DeSilva & Phillips, a media investment banking firm.
