Media Carousel
The revolving door of the media industry never stops. Here, WWD rounds up some of the notable moves of late. First up is a scoop on Fortune magazine, settling into new ownership. It’s lured back Brian O’Keefe as deputy editor. O’Keefe previously held the role for 18 years but left in early 2018 to be editor in chief of IBM’s research vertical Institute for Business Value. Fortune made a few other hires as well. Jeremy Kahn is coming from Bloomberg News to cover technology in Fortune’s London bureau; Lee Clifford is a new senior editor of finance, returning to the outlet after leaving in 2010; David Z. Morris, a freelancer since 2013, is coming on full time as a writer on the tech team. Kristen Bellstrom was promoted to features editor and Matt Heimer to senior features editor. Changes elsewhere: Stefano Tonchi is out at W magazine after almost 10 years as editor in chief, with his exit coming the same day that Condé Nast clinched W’s sale to Surface Magazine. The breakup turned ugly, as Tonchi sued Condé for breach of contract — understandable as Tonchi claims he’s owed more than $1 million in severance.
