So, What’s the Frequency at the Atlantic?
By Keith J. Kelly

The Atlantic Monthly already had cut back to a publishing frequency of 10 times a year, but only now is the magazine getting around to dropping the word "monthly" from its corporate identity and officially changing its name to The Atlantic.

The change comes as the magazine gets ready to uproot its sales and marketing staff in Washington, DC, and relocate 15 positions to New York.

It also comes as the magazine searches for a new publisher to replace Elizabeth Baker Keffer, who is stepping down to run Atlantic Live, which produces about 100 sponsored events a year, including the Aspen Ideas Festival.

2. Advertising Age
Days-Old News, Competently Delivered

I'm a bit sluggish today, having stayed up late last night finishing Cormac McCarthy's "The Road." For the uninitiated, the novel is exactly like "High School Musical" but with fewer day-glo outfits and more ashy post-apocalypse cannibalism. I awoke this morning still rattled by the book's dark view of humankind's survival instincts, my faith in our general decency scuffed. I should probably stick to lighter before-bed fare, such as Nora Roberts or Cinemax.

Fortunately, today's subject, Newsweek, doesn't demand much intellectual heavy lifting. Over the years, the mag has stuck to a simple formula: mixing a days-after review of the headlines with airy lifestyle fare. If something happens, Newsweek writes about it. Creativity rarely enters into the equation.

That sounds like a knock, which it isn't. Indeed, there's a lot to be said for clarity of mission and execution, especially in this era of media diversamafragmentasaturation. Newsweek is nothing if not straightforward. You know precisely what you're going to get when you crack open an issue: the "news" of the "week," presented in a linear manner.
