''Adweek'' is a weekly American advertising trade publication that was first published in 1979. ''Adweek'' covers creativity, client–agency relationships, global advertising, accounts in review, and new campaigns. During this time, it has covered various shifts in technology, including cable television, the shift away from commission-based agency fees, and the Internet.

As the second-largest advertising-trade publication, its main competitor is ''Advertising Age''. ''Adweek'' also operates various blogs focusing on the advertising and mass media industry, including its flagship ''AdFreak'' blog and the Adweek Blog Network, which was formed from the assets of Mediabistro.

Related publications include ''Adweek Magazine's Technology Marketing'' (ISSN 1536-2272), and ''Adweek's Marketing Week'' (ISSN 0892-8274).journalfinder.wtcox-4 Subject Search Results – Journal Finder

Blog network

On January 15, 2015, following the acquisition of their previous parent, Mediabistro, by Prometheus Global Media, ''Adweek'' formed the "Adweek Blog Network"—which consists of several B2B blogs focusing on aspects of the mass media industry. They include '' AgencySpy'', which focuses on advertising agencies, ''Fishbowl DC'', a blog focusing on politics and the media, ''Fishbowl NY'', which focuses on New York City media, ''Galley Cat'', which focuses on publishing, ''LostRemote'', which focuses on social television, ''PRNewser'', which focuses on public relations, ''SocialTimes'', and ''TVSpy'', which focuses on local television. While it operated alongside its parent publication, the blog network was kept separate from ''Adweek''s main blog ''AdFreak''.

The most notable member of the blog network is ''TVNewser'', which focuses on the American news media and broadcast industry. The site was founded as ''CableNewser'' by then-Towson University student Brian Stelter in January 2004, who maintained the site until joining ''The New York Times'' as a media reporter in July 2007. The site's Managing Editor is currently former MSNBC producer Chris Ariens. Editor Kevin Allocca was hired in July 2009, and Alissa Krinsky serves as a contributor to the site. ''TVNewser'' is highly-read within the broadcasting industry: ''The New York Times'' characterized the site as being "read religiously by network presidents, media executives, producers and publicists ... because it provides a quick snapshot of the industry on any given day." Brian Williams, then anchor of NBC Nightly News, described the blog as "the closest thing to the bible of what's going on in he news broadcastingindustry". CNN's Miles O'Brien felt that the site "makes me feel like I'm in the middle of a cocktail party of all people who know what's going on in my business." Both MSNBC's Dan Abrams and CNN's Jeff Greenfield have lauded the site for being good at separating fact from fiction.
