Women’s Wear Daily reporter Stephanie Smith noted in Thursday’s edition that BusinessWeek magazine is working on a redesign that has included bringing in people from other magazines to critique the glossy. However, the McGraw-Hill weekly has lost its art director this week.
“A spokeswoman for BusinessWeek said, ‘We often meet with outside editors and opinion leaders to discuss new ideas for how we can best serve the needs of our readers.’ Does that mean creating an Approval Matrix for business leaders in BusinessWeek?
“The redesign is being planned so meticulously that insiders say the title postponed unveiling the new look from March to next fall so it can take a peek at Portfolio first. But while consulting with successful editors of weekly and biweekly titles may be helpful, editor in chief Stephen Adler first must find a new art director to execute the overhaul since Malcolm Frouman, who served 22 years in the position and oversaw the 2003 redesign, left the company this week.”
