James Truman, Carrying Own Hatchet, Flees Culture + Travel

After the much-feted debut of high-concept, niche appeal Culture + Travel, editorial director James Truman has quit his post. After one issue. And a damn good party. Having fleed from Conde Nast to Canadian billionairess Louise Macbain's LTB Media to launch his pet art rag project, Truman has already bored himself with all those Pollocks and wine travel stories — and now he's taking off to start his own media company once he gets some Wall Street types to back his ambition, reports the Observer's Michael Calderone. Says Truman:

My interest was in moving on and setting up my own company. I was never going to do it long-term.

Now comes the matter of choosing the correct verb to refer to an editor who only lasts one issue: "to Truman," or "to Pemberton?"
