Wells Publishing to Launch New Claims Journal Magazine

Wells Publishing Inc. has plans to launch Claims Journal magazine, a quarterly publication targeting claims professionals in the property/casualty insurance industry. The new magazine, scheduled to launch the first quarter of 2012, is an offshoot of the Web site ClaimsJournal.com also operated by Wells Publishing.

Claims Journal magazine will deliver news and analysis on a wide range of claims related topics. In addition, several regular features will provide ongoing reporting on fraud research and investigations, coverage analysis for claims personnel, management advice, and important statistics and trends.

Andrea Ortega-Wells, editor-in-chief of the award-winning Insurance Journal magazine, will assume the same title with the new Claims Journal magazine. She has headed Insurance Journal magazine and been its national editor since 2003.

Denise Johnson, associate editor of ClaimsJournal.com, will assume the additional role of editor of Claims Journal magazine. Johnson joined Wells Publishing in May after 14 years working in the property/casualty claims industry and freelance writing.

“Claims departments and adjusters deliver services most critical to insureds. It is the claims professional standing there in times of crisis, representing to the public what our industry does best,” said Ortega-Wells. “We look forward to delivering relevant and quality coverage that these professionals need most.”

Subscriptions to the quarterly magazine are free to qualified readers. To subscribe, visit: www.ClaimsJournal.com.
