Keith Kelly of the New York Post writes Wednesday that the resignation of BusinessWeek editor Stephen Adler signals upheaval at the top of the magazine’s masthead.

Kelly writes, “Executive Editor Ellen Pollock, whom Adler recruited from the Wall Street Journal to serve as his deputy, will likely also exit.

“Meanwhile, most staffers learned from a wedding announcement that John Byrne, the other executive editor and the head of Businessweek.com, would be moving to San Francisco. Byrne was married over the weekend to former BW staffer Katherine Rodler.
