Francesca Messina, New Sr. Group AD at McGraw-Hill

Francesca Messina has left her position as Sr. AD at Workman Publishing for the Sr. Group AD position at McGraw-Hill. What, exactly, that means, from Francesca herself:

After a brief foray into the world of book publishing, I have been lured back to magazine-land. I'm now the Senior Group Art Director of the McGraw-Hill Construction Group of architecture and construction trade publications. The magazines I'll be overseeing include Architectural Record; the newsweekly Engineering News-Record; a magazine about green architecture, GreenSource; and a new startup for executives, HQ, built on the premise that good design is good business.

Victory, magazines.

Josh Klenert, New CD for Clear Channel Online

Josh Klenert who's been more in-tune with the Hot 100 than most of us as the CD at Billboard, is making the jump from, er, paper to pixels...

From the man himself:

Out of the blue, I was offered a position I couldn't refuse.

I will be making the jump to online as Creative Director for Clear Channel Online Music & Radio. This is a newly created position, where I will be responsible for user experience and our general creative direction for web design and video.

Sounds like someone needs to RSVP!

Kerry Robertson, New DD at Oprah

We've heard it from 2 different sources, so we think this is safe to run with: Kerry Robertson, will be the new DD at O, the Oprah Magazine, with new(-ish) editor Susan Reed. This is a familiar working relationship, as both had most recently held the same titles at now-shuttered Golf for Women.
