Crain shakes up Ad Age editorial - Crain Communications Inc.; Advertising Age - News

Folio: The Magazine for Magazine Management, Nov 15, 1993

Crain Communications shook up the editorial side at Advertising Age in early October: Executive editor Dennis Chase, New York bureau chief John Wolfe and editor-at-large Joseph Winski have been let go. Steve Yahn, chief editor of Crain's Business Marketing, has replaced Chase. Yahn was founding editor of Crain's Chicago Business and a former financial editor of New York's Daily News.

New York City-based Fred Danzig stays as AA editor overseeing day-to-day operations. Meanwhile, Business Marketing has become a supplement to AA, reflagged as Ad Age's Business Marketing. BM will maintain an independent circulation, but its total circulation will drop from 42,000 to 30,000, and the magazine will move to tabloid size. BM's managing editor, Jan Jaben, moves up to editor, but will report to AA's editors. BM will be polybagged with AA to the 6,000 readers the two titles share. In AA's New York office, Pat Sloan has been named bureau chief, and magazine reporter Scott Donaton moves to deputy bureau chief.
