Desmond Still Sorting Out His OK! Headache
This morning's report of the whole old guard Rob Shuter's return to OK! was wrong (though maybe just premature). He hasn't been hired back. Read on for where things stand now.
Richard Desmond, CEO of the company which owns OK!, is still sorting out how he'll put out a magazine after he canned general manager Kent Brownridge and editor Susan Toepfer because the magazine's circulation was dropping. For now, former editor-in-chief Sarah Ivens is in charge. But she now lives in Kentucky and doesn't plan on moving back to New York. So she's only sticking around for a few weeks.
Not only does Desmond need a permanent EIC, there's also the matter of replacing the 10 or so underlings that went with Brownridge. So Desmond is interviewing candidates next week, including Shuter.
