Conclusion
The publication director is part of the senior publication management quartet in the lists for daily and weekly newspapers, magazines, agencies and radio-TV. In fortnightly and less frequent publications it is the senior publication title listed on its own; the editor-in-chief, general publication coordinator, general publication manager and the administrative titles do not appear in that list.
