Bloomberg Businessweek

There are 42 different gift cards, each with a humorous tagline like “Even Snooki has a job.” The cards and the site are part of a larger ad campaign titled “Bloomberg Businessweek Gets You Ahead.”

Free Businessweek is nice, but it probably won’t help any of those 18 to 34 year olds actually get a job or their own place. But hey, they might as well have a good magazine to peruse while deepening the dent in the living room couch.

Here is yet another fantastic cover from the folks at Bloomberg Businessweek. And here is something to listen to while looking at it.

Welcome back to another FishbowlNY Cover Battle, our weekly feature that asks readers to pick the better of two fantastic magazine covers. This week we have Businessweek versus Elle. Businessweek bounced back after an unusually bad cover last issue to bless us with this ultra-creepy one. If you stare at this lady long enough you’ll have nightmares for at least a week, which — fittingly enough — is the same effect stepping into a Walmart can have.

The above is the Businessweek cover that will never see the printing press. For this week’s issue, the magazine prepared two covers, one featuring the aged face of Barack Obama; the other, Mitt Romney.

With Obama’s victory, the Romney cover was shelved and the Obama illustration got the nod. Below is the cover Businessweek readers will see. Both illustrations are by Justin Metz.

Janet Paskin

“Janet is a talented digital editor who has a great understanding for how to grow strong online and mobile platforms,” said Josh Tyrangiel, editorial director of Bloomberg Digital and editor-in-chief of Businessweek. “Coupled with her background as a financial reporter, she’s the ideal person to lead Businessweek.com and add to the skills of the Bloomberg Businessweek team. We’re thrilled to have her join us.”

Paskin’s first day at Businessweek is November 12.

Ad Age

“With Chanel as a partner it launched the Backstage Beauty Trends iPad App and Marie Claire @Work, which debuted last year as a saddle-stitched supplement, came back in 2012 with bigger, perfect-bound issues this May and September,” explains Ad Age. Driving that success isNancy Berger Cardone, Marie Claire’s publisher and Ad Age’s publisher of the year.

While Marie Claire took home those honors, Tyrangiel — the editor-in-chief of Bloomberg Businessweek — has to be happy about being named editor of the year. Tyrangiel believes his writers make him and the magazine look good. “I like that we have journalists who really want to do stories that ask very difficult questions that are sometimes in conflict with the people that we cover,” said Tyrangiel.

Josh Tyrangiel, Businessweek’s editor-in-chief, said that one of the magazines goal’s is to be a truly global brand, and to accomplish that, it needed to up its stake outside of the United States.

Tyrangiel also feels that Businessweek could fill a void by expanding. ”There’s quite a lot of white space, ” he told the Press Gazette. “There are people covering the city, but I don’t think they are covering it in the way we do it and understanding the businesses that exist outside the city.”

Yet another classic from Richard Turley and the Businessweek design gang. On his Tumblr, Turley said the inspiration came from an issue of The Stranger, published in 1966. Here is the cover article, by Joshua Green.

While you soak in the greatness above, we’re going shopping for some Obama tube socks.

Bloomberg Businessweek’s first “How To” issue was great, and the second installment only improves upon last year’s. This edition is jam-packed with articles from over 60 different contributors and it spans 44 pages.

The “How To’s” cover all sorts of topics. There is “How to Take a Punch,” by boxing’s best trainer, Freddie Roach, “How to Dress for Work,” by Michael Kors, “How to Motivate People,” by Rahm Emanuel and there’s even “How to Do a To Do,” by Martha Stewart.

The latest issue — available April 13 — is also the 100th since Josh Tyrangiel and Richard Turley took over and revamped the entire magazine. So far so good, we’d say.

The days of Bloomberg Businessweek magazine looking a hell of a lot better than its website are officially over. Businessweek.com used to be boring and complicated to navigate — basically the exact opposite of the print counterpart — but now it’s vibrant, clean and inviting. The new look is thanks to Richard Turley, Businessweek’s Creative Director, who routinely makes the magazine a must see.

We’re happy it has changed. We would routinely stay away from its site because of the clutter, but with a revamp, Josh Tyrangiel, the magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, said things are different now. “We’ve completely realigned the culture of Businessweek so it’s a digital news organization, he told Adweek. “People have turned on the juice.”

UPDATE:
A Businessweek spokesperson wanted us to note that it wasn’t just Turley who is responsible for the new site; he worked on it along with a team of people. Now you know.
