Michael Wolf Leaves Adweek

For any that didn't see this coming the day Michael Wolff was named Editorial Director of AdWeek has their head buried in the sand. It was oil and water from the start. Wolf's flamboyant desire to infuse the trade magazine with glitz, glamor and Conde Nast cafeteria closings did not mix well with the more down to earth B2B origins of the publication.

Hey, we're all for sexing things up from time to time but any good publication covering the advertising space has to, well, cover advertising. And it certainly seems like AdWeek blog AdFreak was doing that for AdWeek all along so long live AdFreak and here's hoping the new guy, former sister publication MediaWeek veteran and current AdWeek Executive Editor Jim Cooper, who is taking over the reins, can shore things up over at AdWeek.
