Condé Nast Changes Glamour Leadership
Connie Anne Phillips
Returns as Publisher Condé Nast has shaken up its
longstanding publishing leadership at Glamour, historically its most profitable
brand but one that's seen unevenness in recent years. Former InStyle and Vogue
sales exec Connie Anne Phillips was named vp, publisher, replacing veteran
publisher Bill Wackermann.
Wackermann,
a polarizing figure but one known for his showmanship and repositioning
expertise, has led Glamour to record-breaking
results. At one time, he had oversight for other titles in addition to
Glamour, including Details, Bon Appétit and Brides. But Glamour has faced
stepped up competition for the young female consumer from archrival Hearst
Magazines, now under the leadership of ex-Condé Nast executive David Carey.
Glamour's ad page growth was flat in the first three months of the year, per
Publishers Information Bureau. Outside of ad sales, it hasn't helped that the
newsstand-reliant Glamour has struggled with single copy sales.
Lucky EIC Steps Down
Condé Nast's Lucky is continuing a leadership
shake-up at Lucky with the announcement today that editor-in-chief Brandon
Holley has stepped down and will be replaced by Eva Chen, who was most recently
working with Condé Nast artistic director Anna Wintour as a consultant to the
brand.
Lucky began a restructuring early this year when Gillian Gorman Round left her corporate position of senior vice president, brand development to focus on the magazine as its general manager.

"Golden Age of Magazine Publishing"?
An upscale men's magazine decided to praise their favorite magazine editors'
work, declaring boldly a "New Golden Age" on its cover. Except
there's one small diversity problem: all the editors basking in this new golden
age are white dudes.
Citing a rise in magazine launches and advertising sales, Port magazine editor-in-chief Dan Crowe felt it was time to make a statement about the publishing world he operates in. "There is no doubt about it: we are entering a new golden age of magazine publishing, an age where the magazine is supported by the website and app," he writes. The Internet didn't kill the magazine like everyone thought it would. In fact, he argues, it's doing the opposite. "It’s this ‘support’ that people thought would be the death of the magazine. In fact, with the ‘cross media platform’ working well, it’s formidable to have a magazine, a format that readers and advertisers still adore." So he decided to single out the work of some editors he admires: GQ editor Jim Nelson, Wired editor Scott Dadich, Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, The New York Times Magazine editor Hugo Lindgren, Bloomberg Businessweek editor Josh Tyrangiel and New York editor Adam Moss.

Printers Fighting Move to Digital Drug Facts

congressional bill that would eliminate paper drug inserts for health care
professionals and cut into its business.

pharmaceutical distribution chain from counterfeits is a section that would
limit the availability of printed prescription drug information for health care
professionals.
Biomass Essential to California's Goals
Biofuels
developed from plant biomass and purpose-grown crops can substantially move
California toward its ambitious energy goals, a new report says, but only
through the wise allocation of feedstocks and the success of energy efficiency
measures throughout the state.
That’s the conclusion of “California Energy Future: the Potential for Biofuels,” a report of the California Council on Science and Technology (CCST) co-authored by Energy Biosciences Institute scientists Heather Youngs and Chris Somerville. The study is one of seven produced by the CCST's California's Energy Future Committee, which was tasked with understanding how the state can meet aggressive reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions required by California policy by 2050.

US/Cuba in Talks to Resume Mail Service
The
United States and Cuba will resume talks this week on restarting direct mail
service despite a deadlock between Washington and Havana over detainees that
has largely stalled most rapprochement efforts, a U.S. official said Monday.
U.S.
and Cuban diplomats and postal representatives will meet in Washington on
Tuesday and Wednesday for technical talks aimed at ending a 50-year suspension
in direct mail between the United States and the communist island. The official
spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the
matter publicly before Congress is notified. Lawmakers were to be notified of
the meetings starting Monday morning, the official said.
Ad Spending to Reach $517 Billion
