The announcement comes just a week after McGeveran announced that he would be stepping down from his post at the paper, which he as held since longtime editor Peter Kaplan left the pub in May. Pope will be starting at The Observer on Monday, and will work side-by-side with McGeveren for a few weeks to ensure a smooth transition. The December 9 issue will be Pope's first as editor. Pope most recently worked as one of two top editors at Condé Nast's business glossy until it folded earlier this year. He started his career at The Wall Street Journal, where he won a Pulitzer Prize as part of the paper's team covering September 11. Pope has also worked as a freelance contributor for The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times.

Apparently, the people who decided to stick around. But, unless you're reading carefully, you'd never know it. The Times mentions Bloomberg "has selected a few staff members to make the leap to Bloomberg BusinessWeek," but you can't tell right away if those staffers are from the magazine or Bloomberg. Except if you are intimately familiar with the BusinessWeek masthead. The "new" magazine editors -- Ellen Pollock, John Byrne, and Ciro Scotti -- are actually just continuing in their former positions. (Mainly, it seems like the story is just there to address rumors of Pollock and Byrne's departures.) Jessica Sibley, who came in to help the ailing magazine in the role of senior vice president and worldwide publisher back in February of 2008 will be the new magazine's publisher as Fox stays behind at McGraw-Hill. The Times post is titled "Bloomberg Builds a Staff For BusinessWeek" but it should really be "Bloomberg Announces Who's Decided Not To Leave." Someone who is leaving -- Roger Neal, the current general manager of BusinessWeek.com. His staff will now report to Bloomberg's Kevin Krim. Also of note: All BusinessWeek employees will be moving to Bloomberg headquarters on December 4, unless they already work in New York, in which case they can stay at their former offices until the Bloomberg building has room for them. Memo to BusinessWeek staffers after the jump. Hachette Names New Automotive Group CEO
Starting on January 1, Dillion McDonald, the current COO of the Jumpstart Automotive Group, will take on the responsibilities of CEO, replacing Steve Wilhite, who will stay on as an advisor and member of the Board of Directors. McDonald has worked for Jumpstart since 2001, and served in various roles in sales, operations and marketing before being named COO. Hachette restructured its automotive group earlier this year, combining Car and Driver and Road & Track under the same umbrella as the Jumpstart online network purchased by the company in spring 2007.

Sources told Erin Carlson from The Business Insider that four editorial staffers and seven business-side employees got the axe today, including two from EW's Los Angeles office. The entertainment pub is no stranger to cuts. Last year, EW trimmed its staff by about 15 people across the board as part of Time Inc.'s massive layoffs totaling 600. Eleven Staffers Axed At Entertainment Weekly --The Business Insider Earlier: Time Inc. Shutters FSB Marie Claire Publisher Plagemann Jumps To Vogue, Florio's Role Expanded
Susan Plagemann, the publisher at Hearst's Marie Claire since 2004, has been named the newest publisher at Vogue, effective January 4. Although she started her career at Condé Nast in the advertising department at Mademoiselle, Plagemann has spent most of her career at Hearst, working for Esquire, Cosmopolitan, the now-defunct Lifetime and then Marie Claire. Plagemann will report to Thomas Florio, who formerly held the role of publisher at Vogue. His role has now been expanded to oversee Vogue and Teen Vogue, Bon Appétit and Condé Nast Traveler. As The New York Observer reports, this seems to be part of Condé Nast's McKinsey-ordered plan to create a more clearly defined reporting structure for publishers, through the creation of "super publishers" that now include Florio, Bill Wackermann (who now oversees Glamour, Details and Brides), Richard Beckman (Fairchild Group and W) and David Carey (Wired, The New Yorker and the golf group). Full release about Plagemann, after the jump First on FBNY: Time Inc. Shutters Custom Pub Fortune Small Business
The magazine, which was sent directly to a group of one million Amex cardholders, just closed its last issue last week. A tipster also told FBNY one person lost their job as part of the closure. (See update below.) Earlier this year, Time Inc. suspended publication of Time spin-of Style & Design and shuttered Southern Accents. We're also starting to get some news trickling in of layoffs starting at Time Inc. A spy reports that 12 editorial staffers at Time and eight at People have been asked to volunteer to leave. (Check out the memo here) Know more? Drop us a line. Update: The New York Times has found a document Time Inc. has filed with the New York State Department of Labor giving notice that it will cut 280 jobs between now and the end of January. This is fewer than the 400 to 500 that have previously been projected, but we'll see how it develops from here. Another Update: Although earlier in the day we heard that only one person had been laid off in connection with FSB's closing, another tipster informed us later that the number could be as high as eleven -- a fact that the Times just reported, citing an unnamed Times Inc. exec. The new number includes five full-time employees and six hourly staffers, who produced content that was also published on CNNMoney.com, making up much of its small business content.

But, we expect many more cuts to be announced later today as the magazine publisher looks to trim $100 million from its budget. The Times reports that meetings are scheduled for Time Inc. staffers at 10 a.m. today, and 400 to 500 people might lose their jobs -- although those covered by Newspaper Guild contracts will be offered buyouts. A majority of the layoffs are expected to come from the news division, which includes Time, Fortune and Sports Illustrated. Of course, these hundreds of layoffs come only a year after the company cut its staff by 600 through voluntary buyouts and layoffs. We'll keep you updated as this story develops. Know anything?

But not all writers agree: Saul Friedman, a columnist at Newsday for over a decade, quit the paper last week in protest of the publication's paywall, which went into effect last week. Friedman's column in the paper, "Gray Matters," dealt with the topic of aging, ironically something that print journalism can't seem to find a way to do gracefully as more and more consumers turn to the Internet for free content. Friedman's full memo about his reasons for leaving, posted on Romenesko, after the jump.
