Conde Nast Closes Down House & Garden; Website Closing As Well
By David Kaplan - Mon 05 Nov 2007 11:38 AM PST
After nearly 100 years in print, Conde Nast will cease publishing House & Garden with the magazine’s December issue, WWD reported. Unlike previous such closures of print where the site lives on, in this case the site, houseandgarden.com will also be closed. The decision came after what Charles Townsend, Conde Nast’s president and CEO, said was the “unexpected departure” of the magazine’s publisher Joe Lagani for the post of VP/GM of GlamLiving, a unit of Glam Media. Townsend was also quoted as saying that despite significant investment in the title over the past few years, Conde Nast decided that the H&G was no longer viable.
