Businessweek publisher leaving for The Week

Jessica Sibley, the publisher of Bloomberg Businessweek for the past two years, is leaving the magazine for a similar post with The Week.

Russell Adams of The Wall Street Journal writes, “Ms. Sibley succeeds Jed Hartman, who left the magazine in March to become group publisher of Time Inc.’s Fortune and CNNMoney.

“In her new role, Ms. Sibley will oversee sales and marketing at The Week, which has emerged in recent years as a rare bright spot in a magazine industry beset by advertising declines.

“Launched in the U.S. in 2001 by Felix Dennis, The Week offers a weekly digest of commentary on big events of the past seven days, culled from thousands of outside sources.

“Readership has grown steadily. The Week is raising its rate base, or guaranteed circulation for advertisers, for the fifth time in as many years, increasing it by 10,000 to 510,000.”
