Conde Nast shakes up the German vanity fair

The publishing house Conde Nast International is launching the US magazine Vanity Fair in German-speaking countries on Wednesday. The magazine will be published in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with an initial print run of 500,000 copies and will cost 1 euro (1.60 francs). However, from the next issue, the price of the magazine - which will be published on Thursdays in future - will rise to between 2 and 3 euros. The mix of topics from culture, politics, business, style and society will remain the same. Ulf Poschardt, who previously co-directed SZ Magazin and Welt am Sonntag, will take over as editor-in-chief based in Berlin. Vanity Fair was first published in the USA in 1914.
