BREAKING NEWS & VIEWS
Circulation Consultant Dan Capell Dies He joined Time Inc. after his 1967 graduation from Bucknell University and was Sports Illustrated circulation director before turning 30. At Newsweek in the late-1970s/early-1980s, Capell was VP/circulation and in 1980 became founding publisher of Inside Sports, which remains Newsweek's only spinoff. (The recently sold Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel was an acquisition.) Newsweek's 1982 selling of IS induced Capell to go on his own. That year, he launched Capell's Circulation Report, a 20-times-per-year newsletter replete with valuable advice and statistics for publishers and circulators. (CCR's "Top Performers..." was a January must-read.) In addition, he was involved with several consultancies, including The Lake Group and Gruppo, Leavey and Capell. Capell's illness led to the January 8 transfer of CCR to John Harrington's The New Single Copy (minonline, January 8, 2010). He is survived by his wife, Kathy, son, Matt, and daughter-in-law, Vanessa. A celebration of Capell's life will be held in New York at his favorite bar, Annie Moore's (50 East 43rd), on Friday, Jan. 22 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. If you have breaking news to share please contact Steve Smith at ssmith@accessintel.com |
