Maclean's AD Dewairy takes over Canadian Business, MoneySense & Profit

The recent consolidation of management and staff dismissals at Rogers Publishing's news and business consumer group proceeds apace, as Christine Dewairy, the art director of Maclean's, takes over responsibility for Canadian Business, MoneySense and Profit magazines. This means the four publications share one publisher and one art director. According to a story in Mastheadonline, Dewairy will do the work of three other art directors let go, including Tim Davin at CB, Karen Simpson at MoneySense and Marcello Biagioni at Profit.

"She will be assembling a team of designers and photo people to support all the magazines, under her leadership," said Suneel Khanna, senior director of communications for Rogers Consumer Publishing.

One anonymous commenter on the Masthead story acidly noted:

..and in related news, Barack Obama will now take over being Prime Minister of Canada, 'cause you know, anyone who has only ONE massively-important-and-stressful-more-than-full-time job is a slacker!
