Folio Weekly publisher David Brennan recently announced that he will be leaving the publication to serve as the group publisher for SouthComm Inc., the second largest chain of alt-weeklies in the country.

In a press release, Brennan said:

“Moving back to my hometown as the group publisher for SouthComm is a wonderful opportunity for my family, and I would not have had the chance to do so without the incredibly positive experiences I have had at Folio Weekly for the last decade.

“It was a difficult decision for me, but Folio Weekly is in a good place, and I foresee big things for the publication’s future.”

Brennan will oversee Nfocus, a society magazine; LEO Weekly; and SouthComm Digital for the market.

Brennan was with Folio Weekly for about a decade and served as its publisher for two years.
