In late January, Michael Wolfe, Publisher of Men’s Journal, left the magazine for The Week. Since then there has been a void at Men’s Journal, but it has now been filled: Chris McLoughlin has been named Publisher.

McLoughlin comes to Men’s Journal from Redbook, where he served as Associate Publisher since 2009.

Prior to Redbook McLoughlin worked at Condé Nast as Executive Director, Sales and Marketing of GolfDigest.com, Publisher of Golf for Women, Associate Publisher of Condé Nast Traveler and Associate Publisher of Golf Digest.

Rolling Stone has had a tough couple of years: it downgraded the size of its mag, lost staffers, and hedged so long in making a viable Web presence that by the time Jann Wenner took back RollingStone.com, it was too little, too late.

But 2010 is looking up for the venerable music title, with enough cash trickling back in that Wenner could afford to hire Michael Wolfe , a veteran of GQ and Rodale‘s Best Life, as the newest associate publisher of sales.

Joining Wolfe will be Tracy Monahan, formerly of Details and Teen Vogue, as the associate publisher of marketing.

Full press release after the jump.
