BusinessWeek lays off all design, graphics and photo staffers
BusinessWeek has laid off 30 staffers, including all design, graphics and photo staffers, reports Keith Kelley of the New York Post.
All art, graphics and photo staffers — and all of their administrative assistants — were handed their walking papers.
David Carthas, formerly with defunct music magazine Blender, is the new photo director, replacing photo editor Ronnie Weil and her deputy, Scott Mlyn.
Richard Turley, who was imported from London daily The Guardian, will be the new design director. For the past few months, he has been secretly working on the magazine’s sweeping re design, which is expected to give the weekly a more global business focus.
Andrew Horton, who was the art director, had been let go last year but stayed on under a freelance contract until two weeks ago.
