First House & Garden, then Golf For Women. Both magazines were relocated to Conde Nast's satellite offices at 485 Lexington Avenue before being shut down. Yes, 485 Lex is like that farm in the country where your parents sent your lovable pup Max when he started that unsettling trend of incontinence, only to never be heard from again. But we hear there are acres and acres of meadows for him to roam! [NYP]
Just in time for Conde Nast's closure of Golf For Women, its editor Susan Reed is named to take over Hearst title O, The Oprah Magazine, where Amy Gross is stepping down. And it's a decision Reed had made before learning Golf was closing; Hearst had been courting her for weeks. Then, rather than begin the exhaustive hunt for a new editor-in-chief, Conde decided it'd be much easier to retire the 20-year-old title. So staffers can probably look to Reed for choosing a new career path as the reason they're out of a job. [WWD]
