Folded in half and blistering with punchy headlines, Advertising Age looks and reads like a daily newspaper. However, its glossy sheen reveals it as a weekly trade tabloid to be reckoned with. Published by media giant Crain Communications, Advertising Age chronicles the feverish activities of ad agencies and marketing firms from Madison Avenue to Toledo, Ohio, and far beyond. In fact, what sets Advertising Age apart from rival publications is its consistent focus on international marketing. One recent feature story plumbed the depths of Argentina's economic crisis and its affect on ad spending. (The article in turn led to a sidebar discussion of the possibility of foreign ownership of Brazilian media companies.) Few major announcements or market trends escape the front-of-the-book news section, and a section called "The Week" reports on the absolute timeliest issues. "The Buzz" reads a bit like a gossip column, and "People & Players" details in words and large photos the goings-on of major industry personalities. But the real meat of Advertising Age is its Viewpoint section, where staff experts and readers sound off on controversial issues vital to one of America's most enduring and exciting pursuits--completing the sale. --Kristopher Kaiyala
