BJ ad chief to leave

The head of the Akron Beacon Journal's advertising department is leaving for a job as vice president of advertising at a daily newspaper in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Bradford S. Hagstrom, vice president of advertising, will leave the Beacon Journal next month for the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, an E.W. Scripps newspaper. His last day at the paper will be Aug. 18. A successor has not been named.

Hagstrom joined the Beacon Journal in October 2005 from the Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram. He and his wife, Priscilla, have two daughters, Sophia and Olivia.

``It's all about going home,'' Hagstrom said.
