Devoted Bon Appetit readers, brace yourselves.
The magazine is not going the way of Gourmet, the sister Conde Nast publication that folded a year ago. But it is going to New York, for reasons that sound a whole lot like continued magazine-industry woes.
Conde Nast announced today that the magazine's editorial headquarters is moving from California to New York as "part of the company's continuing efforts to strategically align our brands for future growth and to enhance efficiencies and coordination by consolidating our assets."
Conde Nast also announced that Barbara Fairchild, who has been with the magazine for 32 years, the last 10 as editor-in-chief, is leaving the magazine "to pursue other opportunities, including future projects for Conde Nast."
The new editor-in-chief will be named after the magazine moves to New York.
