Wolff to head magazine group

Michael Wolff , the Vanity Fair , media blogger and biographer of Rupert Murdoch , has taken on a new job. He is to become editorial director of the Adweek Media Group , which publishes trade publications such as Adweek, Brandweek and Mediaweek . "Michael, in my opinion, is one of the great lovers of the media business," said Richard Beckman , chief executive of the group's parent company, e5 Global Media . "He's controversial. Which is good. If you want to make an omelette you have to break some eggs." Wolff said: "It's interesting to me that these guys would have chosen someone who is not diplomatic." He will remain a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, but will no longer write a media column in the magazine. He will also write in his new job. "I will be the dominant voice in the Adweek constellation," he said. Source: New York Times
