Meredith’s shake-up earlier this week has resulted in the exit of Family Circle Editor-in-Chief Linda Fears — and the shutdown of the print version of Siempre Mujer, its Hispanic women’s title, sources tell Media Ink.
Neither Fears nor Siempre Mujer Editor-in-Chief Jessica Torres returned calls, and the company is keeping mum on the specifics.
Siempre Mujer will be a digital-only publication, sources said.
The company did acknowledge a general cutback that saw 40 people — or about 1 percent of payroll — get pink-slipped.
“Today we … announced several organizational changes, including a number of promotions and new assignments,” the company said in a statement. “As part of these changes, approximately 40 of our colleagues — which represents about 1 percent of our workforce of approximately 3,800 — will be departing Meredith, half in New York and half across other company locations. We thank them for their service, and wish them the best in their future endeavors.”
