Media companies don’t appear to have heard of the so-called holiday hiring freeze.
It may only be Wednesday, but there’s already been a number of job announcements in the media world this week. Here, we sum those up, as well as the ones that have occurred over the past few weeks.
Krentcil, who founded fashion web site Fashionista, is one of a number of Elle.com workers to have found new jobs lately, beginning when digital director Leah Chernikoff left in May to become head of content at Glossier. There have also been changes at another glossy’s web site this week. Condé Nast’s Vogue.com unveiled Stuart Emmrich as new editor. He’ll be partially taking over the responsibilities of Sally Singer, who is stepping down as creative digital director to pursue other opportunities.
But as well as hirings come the inevitable firings and at Condé, that happened at its entertainment division, with nine staffers being let go as part of a slight restructuring under group president Oren Katzeff. Another Hearst Magazines executive that didn’t fully retire is David Carey. After stepping down as president of the division last year, he remained on as chairman and in a surprise turn of events revealed last week that he’ll rejoin Hearst full-time as senior vice president of public affairs and communications.
