How Long Will Alan Murray Edit Fortune Magazine?
Posted in: Uncategorized
On July 13, Time Inc. announced that Fortune editor Alan Murray would succeed Norman Pearlstine as the company’s chief content officer, with all U.S. brand editors reporting up to him.
At the time, Mr. Ripp wrote in a memo that Mr. Murray “will continue to serve as the editor of Fortune until his successor has been named,” implying that his time as editor of the magazine would soon be ending. But, in an interview with Women’s Wear Daily on the same day, Mr. Ripp implied that the matter wasn’t yet settled. “He wants to keep that role,” Mr. Ripp said of Mr. Murray’s editorship of Fortune. “I’m not sure he can.”
Roughly two months later, it seems to still be an open question how long Mr. Murray will be doing double-duty and editing Fortune magazine while also serving as Time Inc.’s chief content officer.
