WSJ. Magazine names new publisher

Luke Bahrenburg is the new publisher of WSJ. Magazine, reports Sara Guaglione of Publishers Daily.

Guaglion reports, “He succeeds Anthony Cenname, who is leaving the company after 10 years as publisher, according to a staff memo from Chief Revenue Officer Josh Stinchcomb.

“‘With Anthony at the helm, WSJ. evolved from a print-focused publication to a multiplatform powerhouse. He also played a pivotal role in creating and developing WSJ. Innovators, one of the most powerful and prestigious franchises in the industry,’ Stinchcomb wrote. ‘I know Luke is the right person to lead WSJ. Magazine into its next chapter and to accelerate the digital and multiplatform growth of this great brand.’

“Cenname will leave the company on September 1.”
