The skinny on that Adweek editorial job

I was away skiing on Friday when some saw this intriguing headline on Gawker: "'Adweek' Seeks Slightly Less Loathed Editor." I'm here to tell ya it ain't quite what it seems. According to the job spec, "The ideal candidate will play an important role in working with the senior management team, including Alison Fahey, who has moved into a general management role." Sabrina Crow, senior vp at Nielsen Business Media, and Fahey's boss, confirmed to me that Fahey will continue to be involved with the new editor and that Cheyenne Group is handling the search.

I don't know about Agency Spy... But I will accept the Editors post, as long as it doesn't involve working on high buildings.
Cheers/George

Alison Fahey should stick around a little longer. It's tradition that the Captain goes down with the ship.

Um, anonymous, the ship went down quite some time ago. Fahey’s not even in a lifeboat at this point. It’s probably more like clinging to a piece of floating wreckage debris.

Highjive, how long before she, and Adweak, sink to the ocean floor?
