hmmmm. Wonder if they're getting ready for another fire over there?
Seventeen looks horrid. Now, I wouldn't suggest yet another failed teen mag editor, but I guess after you've tried three former Cosmogirl editors--in sucession--and none have managed to restore the maagzine, anything's possible.
Then again maybe it really is just a "temporary fill in position"...

i'm confused -- the revolving door sections says a former teenpeople staffer is working as a temporary deputy editor at harper's bazaar. Are you speculating this might have something to do with seventeen because seventeen and bazaar are both hearst titles?

Yes, that was a thought.
Who brings in and annnounces a temporary deputy editor position? That's bizarre. Someone's being made to feel nervous or something's in the works--and a Teen People editor at Harper's Bazaar? When both teen books are hurting badly?
Not that I care--both books will probably be folded by 2010. But this board is about the media biz, and buzz, and i think this is buzzworth (so does Hearst, otherwise they wouldn't have announced it).

oh and she wasn't just a teenpeople staffer--she was the ME of the book. The Terry McDonell of SI. The head of the magazine before it folded.
