Bauer Assigns Dan Wakeford to Save Life & Style
 

Life & Style, often described to us as the black sheep of the tabloid industry, has suffered a tumultuous history. Since Bauer head Hubert Boehle launched it in 2004, it's seen a sea change of editors-in-chief. Most recently, Australia's Donna Armstrong was shown the door — for "maternity leave" — after being hired only in July. Before she, In Touch editor Richard Spencer had been manning the magazine with the help of his two deputies, Dan Wakeford and Michelle Lee. That's because Mark Pasetsky was removed from the post (he's since taken to bashing his former employer) after Debra Birnbaum, now the editor of TV Guide, exited in another regime change. So, where do we stand now? With In Touch exec editor Dan Wakeford taking over L&S's top spot, making him the sixth editor in three years. Which means the job could either be a blessing (who doesn't want to run their own magazine?) or a curse (don't L&S editors last at Bauer no more than, like, four months?).
