The one percent is alive, well and being targeted by The Wall Street Journal with a new magazine insert: WSJ Money, a spin-off of WSJ Magazine, which calls itself "the world's largest luxury magazine."

Scheduled to debut March 9 and publish quarterly, the glossy will focus on personal finance and be distributed in the Journal's weekend edition in the U.S., which has a current circulation of 2.3 million. The edit/ad plan is to publish 50 pages per issue: 30 for editorial and 20 for ads.

Advertisers need to do a better job of informing consumers about how their online behavior is being tracked and targeted so it's "not surreptitious" or "hidden," according to Sir Martin Sorrell. The WPP CEO tells Wall Street Journal managing editor Alan Murray that consumer disclosure is a mandate that the industry must take upon itself instead of having regulators force transparency upon them.
