Magazine reshuffle
Over the past year Kyle DuFord has been a rising star in Boulder. Now DuFord has a chance to execute his editorial vision with a bankroll behind him. In his wake are a list of former long-timers at Inside Tri. They include the magazine's prior editor, Rick Martin, the position DuFord inherits. Under Martin was managing editor Cam Elford, who last week left Inside Triathlon and has just landed a gig at Triathlete Magazine, the arch rival of Inside Triathlon.
Elford officially inherits work on the annual Road to Kona, however the talk on the street is that Elford's role at Triathlete will almost certainly grow. There is some limit to the impression Elford can make at the magazine, at least in the short term, as he lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, while earning his MBA. His work with Triathlete will have to conform to his university schedule.
Also gone from Inside Triathlon is its publisher, Gordon Selkirk, often seen and well-liked on the racing circuit. He's now working in La Jolla, at Active.com. IT's chief advertising representative, Rob Wood, is also no more, landing a nice job with National Geographic Traveler. Nick Ramey is ITs' new ad director.
