Specs Who Troy Young Age 45 New gig President, Hearst Magazines Digital Media Old gig President, Say Media What’s it been like coming from pure-play digital companies like Say Media to Hearst, which has had a print mind-set?

Everyone’s trying to find the key to successful native advertising. What’s Hearst’s approach? We write content around a thesis and a... Continue reading at 'AdWeek'
