There’s been another big shakeup at ESPN: vp, publishing director Steven
Binder has mysteriously left after six years in the position.
ESPN confirmed Binder's exit but declined to comment on the reason for his
departure or say if he's been replaced. The change at the top comes as the
magazine is trying to figure out its future in a 24-hour news cycle, however. ESPN The Magazine’s ad pages declined 11
percent to 520 in the first half of the year versus the year-ago period, per
Publishers Information Bureau. Bigger rival Sports
Illustrated also declined, by 6 percent to 689 ad pages in the same
period.
