Richard Perez-Pena of The New York Times writes for Monday’s paper that The Wall Street Journal will launch next year Pursuits, a glossy monthly magazine about the lifestyles of the rich, in hopes of drawing more ads for expensive consumer goods.
The Pursuits name had been used by the paper as the name of a section in its weekend paper until this past weekend.
“The first issue will appear next September as an insert in the Journal’s Saturday edition.
