Boston magazine goes that extra mile for advertisers
By adamg - 5/12/10 - 3:44 pmWriters now getting tattooed with corporate logos. Don't worry, the tats are temporary - you wouldn't want to have them on display after the ad campaign is over.

Boston Magazine hiring online editor
By adamg - 1/6/10 - 7:18 pmSeeks energetic go-getter, presumably not afraid of getting let go the next time the owners change their Web strategy again, although the job really sounds more like an online producer's job, not somebody in charge of sallying forth into the 21st century or anything.
