The Business of Magazines

Maybe it was this?

Do you have numbers of Numero Paris?

Unfortunately not.

Anyone know how reliable Diet Sabya is on Instagram? They’re giving the “scoop” that Anna Wintour is about to step down at American Vogue and interviews are already being held for her replacement.

Of course these rumours have been circulating since as far back as I can remember…

 

[MON]

Interview about her replacement? That’s all we need to know about this puff piece. Doubt there’ll be interviews. She’s part of CN’s management. The successor will just be handpicked.

Also, I don’t see Anna stepping down on election season.

 

[Kerg]

Well, if she is replaced by Edward, that would be definitely the end of Vogue, if it's by someone like Tonne Goodman, maybe something good will come out of it...

I think with Anna it's going to be like Karl Lagerfeld situation? , unless she decided to step down and retire by herself

I suppose in Anna's case, a better comparison would be Alexander Liberman who was at Conde Nast, in one position or another, from 1962 until his death in 1999.

Vice Is Said to Be Headed for Bankruptcy

Vice, the brash digital-media disrupter that charmed giants like Disney and Fox into investing before a stunning crash-landing, is preparing to file for bankruptcy, according to two people with knowledge of its operations.

The filing could come in the coming weeks, according to three people familiar with the matter who weren’t authorized to discuss the potential bankruptcy on the record.

The company has been looking for a buyer, and still might find one, to avoid declaring bankruptcy. More than five companies have expressed interest in acquiring Vice, according to a person briefed on the discussions. The chances of that, however, are growing increasingly slim, said one of the people with knowledge of the potential bankruptcy.

A bankruptcy filing would be a bleak coda to the tumultuous story of Vice, a new-media interloper that sought to supplant the media establishment before persuading it to invest hundreds of millions of dollars. In 2017, after a funding round from the private-equity firm TPG, Vice was worth $5.7 billion. But today, by most accounts, it’s worth a tiny fraction of that.

wonder how this will affect i-D

Just realized that US GQ reduced their print issue to 8 issues per year

"Vice said its various multi-platform media brands including Vice News, Vice TV, Pulse Films, Virtue, Refinery29 and i-D, will continue to operate."

Everything on the internet has its day in the sun.

How many times is something hyped to the heavens as the site or service that will change the world as you know it, only for it to be scuppered by big egos, or sold off for spare parts, or slowly sink into relative obscurity. "If you're not using THIS, you are missing out", when the only thing you're missing out on, is being part of the same old life cycle of internet sites.

Never mind AI, it's possible we will reach a point where the internet will loop enough enough times to become boring, and the only thing sustaining any excitement will be each fresh crop of young people using it as a landscape to explore their inner and outer worlds, which - like most teenage things - is of most interest only to themselves (and those that market to them).

I'm just reading an article on The Business of Fashion from April announcing that Kristina O'Neill is to depart from WSJ. Magazine in the summer, after over a decade as EIC of the magazine!

Maybe the magazine will ended too.

My absolute dream would be for Kristina O’Neill to take over American Harper’s Bazaar, and replace the absolute bore that is Samira Nasr.

AMEN!

there was a rumor that she was invited and turned it down, just like Laura Brown

Laura Brown is another ideal candidate to replace Nasr at Bazaar. Brown would inject the life back into the magazine, without a shadow of a doubt. She is wasted not holding a top job at a magazine, IMO.

Nars will never be fired haha

 

[NYLA22]

The problem is the salary for that job was too low (Kristina was probably making almost double at WSJ.). Although now, of course, maybe she would take it if it was offered. The sorry state of magazine publishing continues...
Oh and as for Anna's replacement, I am around 90% sure it will be Chioma Nnadi. They will absolutely want to have a female BIPOC, and she is the obvious choice. The rumors about Edward are much overhyped, IMO.
