Condé Nast Shuts Down ‘Portfolio’ Magazine, Lays Off 80

New York City-based Condé Nast Publications has shut down Portfolio Magazine, laying off approximately 80 staffers.

Some staffers may be offered other posts within the publishing company.

The magazine had suffered a 60% drop in ad pages; and online readership fell as well. It has not been decided if the web site will also be scrapped.

Condé Nast Portfolio was a monthly business magazine published by Condé Nast from 2007 to 2009. Featuring high-profile journalists, the magazine considered itself a source for “serious business journalism.”

Condé Nast Publications is a worldwide magazine publishing company. Their main offices are located in New York, London, Milan, Paris, Madrid and Tokyo. Founded in 1907, it is owned by Advance Publications.

Testimonial of the Week

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
