Nat Ives of Advertising Age writes that The Wall Street Journal plans to add an additional weekly section of leisure and lifestyle content to the nearly 5-year-old Saturday edition. The new section, for which former Domino magazine editor in chief Deborah Needleman is serving as a consultant, is slated to appear this fall.
“The changes are meant to attract new readers and advertisers, elevating The Journal out of the territory of a second read for business people and making it more tempting for consumer advertisers. WSJ magazine has, for example, attracted more than 75 new advertisers to The Journal, according to the paper.
“‘It’s a continuation of some of the changes we’ve made to the weekday paper in the sense that we’ve been striving to make sure it’s a complete read,’ said Kelly Leach, general manager at The Journal.”
