Head of the German Vanity Fair leaves
Just under a year ago, the German edition of Vanity Fair hit the market amid quite a stir. Its editor-in-chief, Ulf Poschardt—who also writes a column for Weltwoche—is now stepping down once again.
Just under a year ago, the German edition of Vanity Fair was launched to some fanfare. Its editor-in-chief Ulf Poschardt, who is also a columnist for Weltwoche, is now stepping down again. He is resigning at his own request, the publisher Condé Nast Verlag announced on Friday. No further reasons were given. Glamour editor-in-chief Nikolaus Albrecht will take over as interim editor-in-chief.
The German trade media are speculating as to how voluntary Poschardt's departure really is. Werben & Verkaufen reports that his chair was already shaking in the summer after the lifestyle magazine's initial difficulties. Vanity Fair now has a circulation of 172,000 copies sold. However, German media criticize the magazine's lack of relevance when compared to its international sister magazines.
