Career
A graduate of Bowdoin College, Farnham had worked for several publications, including New York Magazine, before becoming the editor in chief of Time-Out New York in 2006. In his short term as editor (2006–2008), Farnham saw the median age of magazine subscripters decline from 38 years to 22.8 years and their average income decline from $103,000 a year to $93,000 per year. Additionally, Farnham had stirred quite a lot of controversy, most notably when he stated about Time-Out's 2007 sex issue, "If you do a sex issue and no one cancels, you're not doing your job."
On January 29, 2008, Farnham announced that he was resigning his post to his deputy editor, Michael Freidson, to found an internet start-up magazine.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
“John Brown’s career for the last six weeks of his life was meteor-like, flashing through the darkness in which we live. I know of nothing so miraculous in our history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
