Hearst Magazines' Design Group, comprised of House Beautiful, Veranda and Elle Decor, is combining several editorial departments and is expected to eliminate some positions in the process.
Newell Turner, currently House Beautiful editor in chief, will become editor in chief of the group, a newly created position. Each title will have its own eic—Michael Boodro and Dara Caponigro will remain at Elle Decor and Veranda, respectively, while House Beautiful—the largest of the three with a circulation of 835,005—will get a new editor), as well as design director, interiors editor and senior writer. All three magazines—which already share a publishing department—will share market, features, and photography departments, though.
