D.C. Style Taps New Publisher

Completing an extensive game of media musical chairs, start-up luxury mag D.C. Style announced today that Charleen Stewart will serve as the mag’s publisher.

She takes over from acting publisher John Colabellia, the founder and publisher of sister publication Philadelpia Style, who stepped up when the magazine’s original publisher (Steve Mailman) departed under less-than-harmonious terms in May.

Stewart, you probably don’t remember, was the vice president of advertising at the start-up D.C. Examiner, prior to her unexplained replacement this month.

An Army brat who grew up in various places and graduated from the University of Hawaii, she’s spent nearly two decades in Washington now. Prior to joining the Examiner in December, she’d spent 14 years with the Washington Post, beginning as a sales rep and working her way up as as marketing manager, retail sales director, and classified sales manager before becoming director of strategic initiatives.
