Edward Leida is leaving Town & Country, after serving as its design director for the past two years. WWD reports that the award-winning Leida — who overhauled T&C, along with W, Jane and Details — doesn’t have any plans for what’s next.

Leida was the design director at W for 25 years. During his time there W was nominated by for a National Magazine Award for Excellence in Design four times. It was also nominated for the Society of Publication Designer’s Magazine of The Year in 2007.

A T&C spokesperson told WWD that Leida played a “valuable and important role” and that staffers “wish him the very best.”

Crain’s Chicago Business The Chicago Newspaper Guild, the union that represents the photographers, immediately said it would consider taking action against the company over the cuts. It’s in negotiations on a new contract for the reporters, photographers and other workers it represents. Before the cuts, it had about 150 members at the company. Gawker A photojournalist is a photojournalist, even in times when he maybe shouldn’t be. Which is why when Sun-Times photographer Al Podgorski discovered Thursday morning that his entire department was being wiped out, the first thing he did was reach for his camera to capture the moment.

Rob Hart, a Sun-Times Media photojournalist at the suburban Pioneer Press and an adjunct faculty member at the Medill School of Journalism, was in the room Thursday morning with the entire staff when they were told of the layoffs. “Being in the room with John White when we got laid off was a highlight of my career,” Hart told News Photographer magazine.
