Ben Widdicombe Blind Item

Which recently former editor-in-chief at a troubled, iconic scene and style mag is job hunting after his title was recently down-graded to editor-at-large?

  4. Awww man! Is it Vogue? I just renewed my subscription after resisting for a while. I work in magazine publishing and things out tough, ad-wise, and I thought I would support the print media. I hope I don't end up with a subscription to another Conde Nast title like Self. I hate that magazine.

  5. Andre Leon Talley's always been "editor at large", so i don't think it's him.

  6. Caroline: I sooooo understand. We got a More subscription because my partner liked this one issue one time. Ack. Big mistake.

    But I'm on board with Graydon Carter and VF as the answer to this blind. I remember when he was editor of Spy Magazine--one of the funniest magazines ever. How the gifted have transformed their priorities....once laughing at people, now laughed at himself.
