Another day, another change for Window Media: the gay publishing giant that just folded its weekly turned monthly, The Houston Voice. We hear from an anonymous and equally helpful source that they're mere steps away from naming a one William Kapfer publisher of monthly fag-rag, Genre.

It's been a few months since Genre's had a publisher on its masthead and there were murmurs of an imminent folding. It seems, however, that the higher ups have decided Vice President of Marketing Kapfer's got the chops to keep the monthly afloat. In a yet-to-be=released press release, Window Media's President Peter Polimino says:

Bill is a skilled leader with abundant energy who knows Genre well and will help us to build Genre into the country’s most successful lifestyle sourcebook for gay men. Bill has played a critical role in building on our success by driving ever-increasing levels of innovation and creativity into our marketing and cross-media advertising products.

Our media wagging brah Jossip brings some interesting news about September's issue of Out magazine, the first issue helmed entirely by new editor Aaron Hicklin (who came over from BlackBook magazine). Turns out Hicklin's debut effort takes a remarkably similar approach to Genre's July 2005 cover — when it was Genre undergoing to the revamp with new editor Chris Ciompi.

Perhaps our problem isn't with the lack of creativity, but with Johnny Knoxville commanding so many covers. Gay covers, even.

Update: Turns out it's not just Out and Genre who fell in love with Knoxville. The Advocate professed its warm fuzzies first. [Jossip]
