Former Conde Nast Portfolio Editor in Chief Joanne Lipman is Back in The Media Game
Lipman is joining Gannett in the newly created role of Chief Content Officer
Hey if David Carey can go on to be President of Hearst Magazine, then Joanne Lipman can be Gannett's new Chief Content Officer. Ms. Lipman was the founding editor of Conde Nast Portfolio, a business magazine that was supposed to bring the vibe of Vogue to the business world but it didn't catch on. It was a project conceived and launched by both her and Mr. Carey. The magazine folded after losing $120 million in two years and Ms. Lipman fell off the media grid, but not all the way off. Since then she's penned the music memoir “Strings Attached”.
Lipman, who began her journalism career as a reporter at The Wall Street Journal, will oversee all content and "content related business development operations" at Gannett, said John Zidich, Gannett's president of domestic publishing. Lipman served as deputy managing editor at the WSJ, supervising coverage of stories that earned three Pulitzer prizes. She also led the creation of the Journal's Weekend Journal and Personal Journal sections, as well as the Saturday edition. She co-wrote Strings Attached with Melanie Kupchynsky, a memoir about Kupchynsky's father and music teacher Jerry Kupchynsky.more»
