Business Ethics magazine and The CRO Magazine, which targets corporate responsibility officers at businesses, are merging, beginning with the fall issue of Business Ethics, according to a press release.
Michael Connor, publisher and editor of Business Ethics, will become publisher and editor of CRO Magazine and chairman of its conference series. He’ll be joined by Jay Whitehead, a veteran of the magazine and conferencing businesses, who will serve as CEO of the new venture.
Founded in 1987, Business Ethics magazine has been the only U.S.-based business magazine focusing on ethics and corporate social responsibility in a media landscape otherwise dominated by traditional business publications. The magazine has been published four times a year with a total distribution to approximately 10,000 readers.
Connor purchased Business Ethics in November 2004 and has since served as publisher and executive editor. He also hosts a weekly one-hour radio program, Good Company, on Lime/Sirius Satellite Radio. Connor began his career as a journalist, first as a staff reporter for The Wall Street Journal, and later as a correspondent and senior producer for ABC News. He also held executive positions at Dow Jones & Co., where he led global development of the company’s TV and multimedia operations.
