I’m tempted to throw my hat in the ring.  Okay, I don’t have "2-3 years management experience in digital media and a minimum of 5 years mid-management level experience with P&L responsibility."  But, hey, I did start an online publishing operation for a b-to-b publisher back in 2000 and it did pretty well.  On top of that I’ve successfully uploaded three videos to YouTube (there’s your digital) and I’ve thought long and hard about doing my own podcast.  That’s gotta count for something, right?

If you want to throw your hat into the ring with Lex and John then update that resume and send it to the N&R by August 17.
