Understanding Time Inc.’s New Editorial Order
Posted in: UncategorizedStoried magazine publisher Time Inc. surprised its editors on Thursday by assigning them to report to division presidents instead of an editorial executive, leading some to wonder whether business interests would now trump those of edit.
Time Inc. CEO Joe Ripp said the restructuring will make the publisher of Time, People, Sports Illustrated and Fortune more innovative and entrepreneurial. “We are not only going to be respecting our traditions enormously, but setting the company to move forward,” Mr. Ripp said.
New Chief Content Officer Norm Pearlstine, who was installed as part of the changes, said Time Inc. is catching up with the media business. “Frankly, it’s more consistent with not only the print industry, but digital and broadcast and the rest of media,” he said.
