Folio Magazine releases their annual stroke job list of magazine industry influencers and innovators

Folio Magazine the magazine about magazines and the people who markets them does it again with their popular Folio 40 list where magazine industry execs get to see their names in print and read all the nice things Folio, whose subscribers are said execs, has to say about them. Each magazine industry professional listed on the Folio 40 will no doubt continue the stroke job via an internal press release to their employees shoving the accomplishments in their faces as if it benefits anyone but themselves. We bet they will also update their resumes mentioning this listing as well. The list hi-lites those making bold and smart moves in the industry via the following categories: the Visionaries, the doers, the influencers, those under the radar and of course the ones to watch. Our good old buddy (in our heads of course) Jeff Bewkes made the list under the “Ones to watch” category because according to Folio: All eyes have been on Jeff Bewkes since he took the helm of the mega media company January 1. Even before Bewkes' appointment was announced, speculation about Time Inc.'s future ran rampant. Bewkes has since downplayed the possible sale of the publishing division, but the industry will have to wait and see. Wow!! He made the list for this? We think David Pecker would have been better in Bewkes’s place with a merger still possible for AMI and all the other shit that Pecker has all over his hands. At this point to include Bewkes on the list seems like a quick space filler. If not Bewkes or Pecker, then Time Inc CEO Ann Moore, because whatever decision Bewkes makes regarding the future of Time Inc, wouldn’t it be based on what Moore can squeeze out before her contract runs out of steam?

Folio, the magazine about magazines revamps it's website, ugly, but an improvement

Folio Magazine, reports on magazines getting makeovers in print and online. But today it's Folio's turn to be talked about. The mag about mags launched off its newly designed website which is split into 7 departments: Careers, Blogs, Resources, Magazine, Suppliers, Webinars and Events. All the more easier for real magazine heads to have useful info right at their finger tips. But we will let the Folio folks tell you about all the new and exciting things on their new website. Some of you may be more interested in their " A totally upgraded Career Center". You know, we always wondered what's taking Red 7 media (publisher of Folio) to grab up Circjobs.com. We thought former FishbowlNY Editor Dylan Stableford would have at least gotten his own blog within the new site. Nope. Dylan still shares posting space with other Folio-ites.

FOLIO: magazine is pleased to present the beta launch of our completely revamped, upgraded and retooled Web site at http://www.foliomag.com/.

FOLIOMag.com is full service destination for the publishing industry, offering highly targeted content, features and services ... and we're just getting started. Among the upgraded or new site features:
