'Spin' Shakes Up Leadership

Declining ad sales leads to ousters

Spin ousted its editor-in-chief Doug Brod and publisher Malcom Campbell yesterday. Some believe the shake-up was fueled by the magazine’s declining ad sales amid the overall poor health of print advertising in the face of shifting patterns of music consumption.

The magazine is reconfiguring its editorial pecking order. Devin Pedzwater, the point man for Spin’s iPad app, will become the brand’s creative director, with the responsibility of editorial oversight. His No. 2 will be Charles Aaron, who will assume the editorial director's spot.
