Steve Greenberger, executive vice president and media director at SLG Advertising in Greenwich, Conn., talks to Media Life magazine’s Diego Vasquez about what’s ailing the business magazine category, why Inc. and Fast Company’s gains may be fleeting, and his early thoughts on Portfolio.

Even at a 40 percent dropoff in the second quarter, I still have hopes for that magazine. I’ve thought the editorial is strong. But they need to pump up the marketing. They have to raise awareness levels.
